Landscape rock is typically installed 2 to 3 inches deep, and one cubic yard covers roughly 162 square feet at the 2 inch depth. For a 300 square foot bed along a foundation or a downspout run, plan on close to 2 cubic yards to get full coverage without thin spots. Measure length by width first, then decide on depth based on how much drainage or weed suppression you want.

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.

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!

Landscaping fabric underneath is what makes rock a decade-long groundcover instead of a weed bed, so lay it before delivery day if you can. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the rock from migrating into the lawn or driveway over time. Some customers pair a rock border with a mulch bed further from the foundation, where plants actually benefit from organic matter breaking down.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

In Nacogdoches sandy loam, skip skipping the fabric. Rock laid straight on bare soil will slowly work itself down into the loam over a year or two, especially after heavy spring rain, and you will be topping it off sooner than you think. A woven landscape fabric barrier keeps the rock riding on top where it belongs and keeps your yard from turning into a rock and dirt slurry near downspouts.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake locally is using rock as mulch around shrubs and perennials that actually want organic matter. Sandy loam here needs the water retention and slow feeding that compost or bark mulch gives root zones. Rock is great for foundation strips and downspout aprons where nothing is planted, but keep it away from beds where you expect plants to establish and thrive over a full growing season.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order the full amount in one delivery rather than topping off twice. Rock does not compress or decompose like mulch, so what you put down this year is basically what you will have in five years, there is no seasonal shrinkage to plan around. Getting the quantity right the first time, using the 162 square foot per yard figure at 2 inches, saves a second delivery fee and a mismatched batch of stone.

Decorative Stone in Nacogdoches

Nacogdoches sits on sandy loam that drains fast but still puddles hard after the spring storms that roll through before the March 15 last frost. Rock does not wash out or compact into mud the way loose mulch can in those beds, and it will not host the fungus that shows up in shaded, humid pockets around older homes near downtown and the Old Stone Fort. It is a common choice for foundation borders and downspout aprons where organic mulch just breaks down too fast in this heat and humidity. Once it is down over fabric, it stays down for years, not seasons.

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 landscape rock work well in Nacogdoches clay or sandy soil?

Yes, especially over the sandy loam common here. Rock drains well on this soil type and will not compact or wash out the way it might on heavier clay. Just install landscaping fabric underneath first, otherwise the rock will slowly settle into the loam over a season or two and you will end up topping it off.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a 200 square foot bed?

At the standard 2 inch install depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 200 square foot bed needs a bit over 1 cubic yard. Round up to 1.5 yards if you want a slightly deeper 3 inch layer or extra coverage for uneven ground.

Answer

When is the best time to install rock around my house?

Anytime works since rock is not seasonal like mulch, but many Nacogdoches homeowners install after the last frost in mid March when they are already out doing spring bed cleanup. Avoiding the wettest stretches of spring rain makes fabric installation and grading easier before the rock goes down.

Answer

Where will the truck drop the rock, and do I need a clear driveway?

The load is placed wherever you direct on delivery day, typically a driveway apron or a spot at the edge of the yard closest to your project. Clear a path at least as wide as a standard truck and have your route to the bed ready if you are moving it by wheelbarrow.

Answer

Should I use rock or mulch around my foundation?

Rock is the better call directly against foundations and downspouts, since it will not hold moisture against the house or need replacing every year. Mulch still makes sense further out in beds with plants that benefit from organic matter breaking down into the sandy loam. Many yards here use both, rock close in and mulch further out.
