At a 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard of rock covers about 162 square feet at the shallow end of that range. Measure your bed length by width, then use that depth range to decide how far your yard needs to stretch, tighter for drainage areas, thicker for full foundation coverage. Most Monroe front yard beds run somewhere between 2 and 5 cubic yards depending on how much lawn is being converted.

A yard is approximately 27 cubic feet. As a general guideline, one yard of material can cover an area of about 100-160 square feet at a 2-3 inch depth.

One of the easiest customer service experiences I've had in a long time! Mulch Mound made it so simple. After putting it off for a while, I looked at the weather and knew I needed to get to mulching ASAP before the rain came if I didn't want to wait another week. I put my order in for the next day online and they came right at 9 AM. The employee who dropped off the mulch did a great job, putting it right on the tarp I laid out, she even made sure none of it got on the yard and double checked the truck bed to make sure it all came out. The mulch was exactly what I needed and arrived right on time.

We have always spread our own mulch for the past 24 years. This was our first time with the Mulch Mound - things I liked: they have online ordering and provide a digital receipt which means you can remember how much you ordered (I always forget for the next year!), they were on time, they were able to deliver in 48 hours, they were generous with the portion (we got 9 yards and it felt like a FULL nine yards!), the driver was polite! We have ordered from reputable places, and there is always a little trash in the mulch. The mulch we recv'd from Mulch Mound had barely any... we were pleasant surprised!!! Color was great! Not to mention - the price was competitive and LOWER than other mulch places around. We will use again !! Highly recommend! Thanks Mulch Mound!

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Landscape fabric underneath is what makes this a decade install instead of a weed patch by next summer. Edging, whether steel or paver, keeps the rock from migrating onto the lawn during our downpours. If any beds near the house also hold shrubs or perennials, keep a mulched ring around the root zone since rock does not feed soil the way organic material does.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down, not after, and overlap seams by at least six inches since Monroe's silt loam pushes moisture upward and can shift thin fabric over time. Skip fabric near tree roots or shrubs you want to keep alive, rock traps leaf litter on top of fabric and none of that organic matter ever reaches the soil beneath it.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake we see locally is installing rock flush against siding with no gap. Leave a couple inches of clearance at the foundation so splashback during heavy river valley rains does not stain siding or trap moisture against the house. A gravel starter strip against the wall works better than rock packed tight to it.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Buying rock in one full delivery instead of several bagged trips saves handling time and gets you a consistent stone color and size across the whole bed, which matters since dye lots can vary. Pair rock zones with mulch beds around plantings that need organic matter, this way you are not spreading rock where it will fight against something you actually want to grow.

Decorative Stone in Monroe

Monroe sits low near the Ouachita River with silt loam soil that holds water and stays soft through our wet winters, which makes bare beds prone to erosion and mud tracked toward the house. Rock over fabric solves that permanently, it does not wash out the way mulch can during a heavy spring rain off the river bottoms. With our zone 8b growing season running long, homeowners here want groundcover that does not need refreshing every year like pine straw does. It also holds up fine through our mild winters, no freeze heave to worry about at 72 feet of elevation.

What Landscape Rock Is

Landscape rock is stone chosen for how it looks as much as what it does. River rock is smooth and rounded, decomposed granite is fine and packs firm underfoot. Both are sold by the cubic yard for beds, borders, paths, and dry creek beds.

River Rock vs Decomposed Granite

River rock stays loose and rolls, so it suits beds, borders, and drainage runs where it can sit in place. Decomposed granite compacts into a firm surface, so it suits paths, patios, and anywhere you will walk or roll a wheelbarrow.

Depth and Coverage

Spread river rock 2 to 3 inches deep over landscape fabric so it stays put and weeds stay down. Lay decomposed granite 3 to 4 inches deep, wet it, and compact it in lifts for a surface that sheds water instead of rutting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

Will rock in my front bed sink into the ground over time here in Monroe?

Not if fabric is installed first. Our silt loam is soft and holds water, so without a fabric barrier rock can slowly work down into the soil over several seasons. With fabric down correctly, the rock stays on top and the install holds for a decade or longer without settling issues.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a 300 square foot bed?

At 2 inches deep, coverage runs about 162 square feet per cubic yard, so a 300 square foot bed needs just under 2 cubic yards. At 3 inches deep you would need closer to 3 cubic yards. We recommend rounding up to avoid running short mid project.

Answer

Is there a bad time of year to install rock in Monroe?

Rock can go down any time of year since there is no planting or root establishment involved, but many people schedule it before our wetter winter months set in, ahead of the November frost, so beds are settled and clean before spring growth starts back up around the property.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck place my rock?

The driver drops the load at a driveway, curb, or other accessible spot you specify when scheduling. Make sure the path is clear and wide enough for a full size truck, and have a plan for moving the rock by wheelbarrow if the final bed location is farther from where the truck can reach.

Answer

Should I use rock or mulch around my foundation?

Rock holds up better against foundations long term since it will not decompose or wash away like mulch can during our heavy river valley rainstorms. Mulch is better where you want organic matter feeding the soil around plants. Many Monroe yards use rock tight against the house and mulch further out around beds and shrubs.
