About this landscape rock

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

Placing an order online was so easy. Delivery was on time. When the driver realized we had a newly poured driveway they erred on the side of caution and opted not ti drive in it. The company even sent me a message explaining that call. Would recommend!

One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, or a bit less if you go closer to 3 inches for better weed suppression. Measure your bed in square feet, decide on depth based on how much you want the rock to last against foot traffic and rain, then divide by the coverage rate. Most Naples front yard beds run somewhere between 2 and 6 cubic yards depending on how much lawn is being converted.

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.

Landscape fabric underneath is what keeps this rock from working itself into our sandy soil over time, so it is worth installing before the stone goes down. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the rock from migrating into St. Augustine lawns during heavy Naples downpours. Some customers pair rock beds with mulch in planting islands where they still want organic matter feeding the soil around shrubs.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

In sandy Naples soil, skip laying rock directly on bare ground even for a small bed. Without fabric, stone slowly sinks and sand works up through it within a couple of rainy seasons, and you end up raking rock and dirt together. Lay landscape fabric first, pin it down, then spread the rock at 2 to 3 inches. This single step is what makes the difference between a bed that still looks sharp in year five and one that needs a full redo.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake we see is treating rock beds like mulch beds and expecting them to feed nearby plants. Rock traps leaf litter instead of breaking it down, so anything planted directly in a rock bed needs to be tough and low water, think agave or coontie rather than annuals that want regular organic matter. If you want color that changes seasonally, keep a separate mulched planting pocket rather than mixing it into the stone.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Because rock is a one time install rather than an annual refresh like mulch, it is worth ordering slightly more than your minimum calculation the first time. A partial second delivery later costs more in delivery trips and rarely matches the original stone's weathering exactly. Buying the full amount up front in one delivery is the more efficient move for a bed you plan to keep for years.

Decorative Stone in Naples

Naples sits at 7 feet of elevation on sandy soil that already drains fast, so standing water around foundations and downspouts is less about the rock and more about grading, and rock helps hold that grade in place. With our short frost window, January 1 to January 25, there is almost no freeze thaw cycle to heave stone out of place, so a bed installed today should look the same in five years. The sandy base also means rock will not stay clean if it is set directly into it, fabric underneath keeps stone from sinking and disappearing into the soil over a wet season. This is a common choice for the low, open front yards you see near Naples Pier where homeowners want structure without heavy irrigation.

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

How long will landscape rock actually last in Naples heat and rain?

Well installed rock over fabric holds up for a decade or more since it does not break down like mulch. Naples gets heavy summer rain but very little freeze thaw, so the stone itself will not heave or crack, the main upkeep is occasionally blowing or rinsing out leaf litter that settles on top.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a 300 square foot front bed?

At the standard 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 300 square foot bed needs roughly 1.85 cubic yards, most people round up to 2. If you want a deeper 3 inch layer for better weed and erosion control, plan closer to 2.5 to 3 cubic yards for that same area.

Answer

What time of year is best to install rock in Naples?

Anytime works since our frost window is short, January 1 to January 25, and rarely affects an install. Many people prefer to lay rock before the summer rainy season starts so fabric and edging have time to settle before the heaviest storms arrive.

Answer

Where will the rock be placed when it's delivered?

You choose the drop location at checkout, typically a driveway or an accessible spot near the bed. Since it arrives loose by the yard rather than bagged, make sure the delivery truck has a clear path and there is room to dump the pile without blocking access to your garage or street.

Answer

Should I use rock or mulch for a foundation bed in sandy soil?

Rock is the better choice right against foundations since it does not hold moisture against the house and won't need replacing yearly, especially important given Naples sandy, fast draining soil. Mulch is better suited to planting beds where you want organic matter breaking down to feed the soil around shrubs and perennials.
