One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, which is the standard install depth for most residential beds. If you want a deeper 3 inch layer for heavier foot traffic or a slope, plan on roughly 108 square feet per yard instead. Measure your bed length by width first, then match it to the depth you want before ordering.

Mulch Mound delivered a yard of pea gravel to us. Delivery was on time, driver was friendly and hit a bullseye on the “tarp target”. We used the pea gravel (which was diameter as specified) to fill several muskrat holes around our pond. I would definitely recommend Mulch Mound to a friend!

UPDATE!
I can’t say enough good things about Mulch Mound! If you read my review below you will see I had a problem with my order. Mulch Mound was quick to respond and solved the issue with my delivery. Will definitely be a customer next year.
First time purchase from Mulch Mound!! First what I liked! Easy to order online and straight forward pricing and delivery. The driver was on time and courteous and delivered my Mulch exactly where I requested! The product is of good quality and comparable to others I have purchased from before. Now what I DID’NT LIKE! I have been mulching the same house and yard for almost 20 years. I always order the same amount and don’t have any issues with covering the same area but this year I fell about a yard short. I was home when the mulch was delivered and when the driver dumped it I noticed that it seemed a bit less than I was used to. I didn’t apply it any thicker than usual and probably a bit thinner than usual because I was worried about running out.
Landscape fabric underneath is what makes this a decade-long install instead of a weed patch by next summer. Edging or steel border keeps the rock from migrating into the lawn or driveway, especially on the sandy soil common around Mount Pleasant. Some customers also order a bit of mulch for planting beds mixed into the rock layout, since rock alone will not feed anything growing near it.
In sandy loam like most of Mount Pleasant has, skip skipping the fabric barrier, it is not optional here. Without it, rock sinks into the loose soil within a year or two and you end up raking stone out of dirt. Lay heavy duty landscape fabric first, pin it well, then spread the rock at 2 to 3 inches. This one step is what separates a rock bed that lasts a decade from one that needs redoing by year three.
The biggest mistake we see near live oaks and the humid tree canopy common in this area is treating rock beds like mulch beds, expecting them to be maintenance free. Rock traps falling leaves and pine straw instead of breaking them down, so beds near mature trees need a blower or rake pass every few weeks in fall. Without that upkeep, decomposing leaf litter builds a thin soil layer on top of the rock and weeds root right into it.
If you are covering a large front yard bed, buying rock as a single bulk delivery instead of bagged stone from a retail lot cuts down significantly on handling and trips. Pair a smaller volume of rock near planting beds with mulch where you actually want organic matter feeding the soil, and save the rock for foundation lines, downspout aprons, and areas where drainage matters more than plant health.
Mount Pleasant sits at 13 feet of elevation with sandy loam that drains well but erodes easily in the sudden thunderstorms that roll off the coast. Rock does not float away or compact into mud the way mulch can near downspouts and low spots. In a climate with a long growing season and near constant humidity, it also will not mold or break down like organic groundcover. A lot of homes here use it along foundations and fence lines where the sandy soil needs something permanent to hold its shape.
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 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.
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.
