At the standard 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard of rock covers about 162 square feet at the low end of that range. Measure your bed's square footage first, then divide by 162 to get a starting cubic yard count before adjusting for the deeper 3 inch depth if you want fewer weeds coming through over time.

We hand-pick and partner with the best yards in your region, keep only the ones our buyers rate well, and back each load with our guarantee.

Landscape fabric underneath is what makes this a decade-long install instead of a weed bed, so lay it before the rock goes down. Steel or aluminum edging keeps rock from migrating into the lawn, especially useful in Myrtle Beach's sandy soil where borders shift more easily than in clay regions.
Service area
In Myrtle Beach's sandy soil, skip the temptation to skimp on fabric underlayment. Sand shifts and settles more than clay, so rock without a solid fabric barrier will slowly sink and let weeds punch through within a couple seasons. Use a heavier landscape fabric, overlap seams by several inches, and pin it down every few feet. This one extra step is what turns a rock bed into the multi-year, low-maintenance install people actually want.
The biggest mistake we see near the coast is rock installed right against a home's siding without a gap. Combined with humidity and salt air, trapped moisture behind rock can encourage rot or pest issues over time. Leave a few inches of clearance from siding and slope the rock slightly away from the foundation so water sheds outward instead of pooling against the house.
Rock pairs well with river stone borders or a few larger accent boulders to break up a flat bed without adding much cost. Since this is a one time install, spend a little more upfront on a slightly larger stone size if your beds get direct sun, smaller gravel tends to shift and scatter more in loose sandy soil during heavy rain.
Myrtle Beach sits on sandy, fast-draining soil, which means water moves through beds quickly and organic mulch tends to break down or wash out during heavy coastal rain. Rock does not care about drainage the way bark does, it stays put in sandy ground and does not need replacing after a wet season. Around here it works especially well against foundations and under downspouts where erosion from summer storms is a real problem. It is also a practical choice for the low-maintenance front yards common near The Grand Strand's rental and vacation properties.
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.
