How Much Landscape Rock Do I Need?
How Much Landscape Rock Do I Need?
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 heavier foot traffic areas. Measure your bed in square feet, decide on depth based on how much wear the area gets, and divide by 162 as a starting point. Most Murray foundation beds and downspout aprons run somewhere between 1 and 4 cubic yards depending on how far the rock wraps around the house.

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-long install instead of a five-year one, so factor that in before the truck arrives. Edging, whether steel or paver, keeps the stone from migrating into the lawn during Murray's heavier spring rains. Some customers pair a rock border with a strip of mulch further out in the bed where they still want plantings to get organic matter.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down, always. Skipping it means silt loam works its way up through the stone within a couple seasons, turning your clean gray bed muddy and full of weeds. Overlap fabric seams by at least six inches and pin them well, because Murray's spring storms can shift loose edges before the rock ever gets spread on top to hold it down.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Plan on clearing leaves off rock beds at least twice between October and December, since oak and maple leaf drop before that October 28 frost date settles into every low spot in a rock bed and holds moisture underneath. Left alone, decomposing leaves create a thin organic layer that lets weed seeds germinate right on top of your fabric barrier.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Buy slightly more than your calculation the first time, not less. Matching stone from a later order can look slightly different in tone once weathered, and having a small reserve pile lets you patch low spots or extend a bed later without a delivery minimum or a mismatched batch sitting next to your original install.
Decorative Stone in Murray
Murray sits on silt loam that drains slower than sandy soil, so water tends to pool near foundations and downspouts if there is nothing to break it up. Rock over fabric solves that problem permanently, shedding water away from the house instead of holding it against the brick. With a zone 7b growing season and leaf drop settling in before that October 28 frost, expect oak and maple leaves to collect on top of the stone every fall, so plan on a blower pass a few times a year. This is not a bed for anything that wants compost worked into the ground, it is built for permanence, not planting.
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.
