Morgantown Landscape Rock Delivery

About this landscape rock

Smooth tumbled river rock, heavy enough to stay put in drainage runs and handsome enough for beds and borders.

Delivery was smooth and on time!
The triple shredded mulch was great quality and just what we were looking for.

One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, or a bit less if you go to 3 inches for better weed suppression. Measure the bed's length and width, decide your depth, and figure the yardage from there rather than eyeballing it. Most Morgantown front yard beds and downspout runs land somewhere between 2 and 5 cubic yards depending on how much of the lot you're covering.

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.

A yard is approximately 27 cubic feet. As a general guideline, one yard of material can cover an area of about 10 feet by 10 feet at a few inches deep.

Landscape fabric underneath is what makes this a decade long install instead of a weed patch by next summer, so budget for that before the stone goes down. Steel or aluminum edging keeps rock from migrating onto the lawn on sloped Morgantown lots, and a few bags of paver base help if you're setting stepping stones through the bed at the same time.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay fabric before the rock, always. In silt loam soil like ours, skipping fabric means the rock slowly works its way down into the ground over a couple seasons and you end up with a muddy mix that's nearly impossible to clean out later. Fabric also stops silt from wicking up into the stone after heavy rain runoff off the hillsides, which keeps the rock looking like rock instead of turning gray brown within a year.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake we see around Morgantown is installing rock right up against foundation plantings that want organic matter. Rock traps leaf litter instead of breaking it down, so anything that needs feeding from decomposed leaves will struggle. Keep rock to foundation borders, downspout aprons, and low maintenance front beds, and leave planting beds with real soil contact for mulch instead.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order the full amount up front rather than in stages. Rock is a one time install, not a seasonal refresh like mulch, so buying slightly extra to finish a bed in one delivery saves you a second delivery fee and a mismatched batch later, since stone color can vary slightly between loads depending on the quarry run.

Decorative Stone in Morgantown

Morgantown's silt loam holds water well after rain off Coopers Rock and the surrounding ridges, which means beds tight against a foundation can stay damp longer than you want near a sill or crawlspace vent. Rock over fabric sheds that moisture away from the house instead of soaking it in like mulch would. A lot of the lots here have grade changes and slopes down toward the street, and rock stays put on a pitch better than loose organic material. It is also a practical choice around downspouts where silt loam tends to erode and channel during a hard spring rain.

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

Answer

Will landscape rock work on my sloped front yard here in Morgantown?

Yes, rock generally holds better on a slope than mulch does, especially with our silt loam soil and heavy spring runoff. Use edging at the bottom of the slope to keep it from creeping downhill over time, and fabric underneath keeps the stone from sinking into the soil during wet stretches.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a downspout apron and a small front bed?

A typical downspout apron runs 3 by 6 feet, needing under half a yard at 2 inches deep. Pair that with a 200 square foot front bed and you're looking at roughly 2.5 to 3 cubic yards total, delivered as one order rather than splitting it into separate deliveries.

Answer

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

Not really, since this is a one time install rather than a seasonal job like mulch. Many people wait until after the last frost around May 10 so the ground is workable for laying fabric, but rock itself is not temperature sensitive and can go down anytime the soil isn't frozen or saturated.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck place the rock if my driveway is on a hill?

We place the load as close to your beds as the truck can safely access, which on hillier Morgantown properties sometimes means the bottom of the driveway rather than the top. Let us know about any steep grades or narrow access when you schedule so the driver can plan the drop accordingly.

Answer

Should I use rock or mulch around my foundation plantings?

If the plants along your foundation need organic matter to thrive, mulch is the better call since rock traps leaves and never feeds the soil. Rock works best where you want a permanent, low maintenance surface, like open foundation borders, downspout areas, or beds without heavy planting.
