About this landscape rock

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

I contacted Mulch Mound for #57 river rocks and it was easy and fast to get a delivery right before the holiday weekend. Stone was delivered as promised and place exactly where I asked. Excellent service! I will be ordering mulch next!

At the standard 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard covers roughly 162 square feet at the shallow end of that range. Measure your bed in square feet, decide if you want a leaner 2 inch layer or a fuller 3 inch coverage, and order accordingly since this is a one time install rather than something you top off yearly.

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.

Most Nashua orders pair landscape rock with fabric underlayment to block weeds through the till, plus edging to keep stone out of the lawn during snow plowing and shoveling season. Some customers add a run of drainage stone near downspouts before the decorative layer goes down. If you are also working topsoil or mulch beds elsewhere in the yard, it is worth scheduling both deliveries together.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Nashua's glacial till compacts hard once it is wet, so lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down rather than after you notice weeds coming through. Overlap fabric seams by at least six inches and pin them, because till shifts slightly with frost heave each winter and loose fabric edges will curl up through the stone by the second season.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock beds near deciduous trees fill with leaves every October before your first frost around October 3, and raking stone is miserable. Either commit to blowing leaves out weekly during peak drop or keep rock beds away from heavy canopy, using rock only in open front yard zones and saving mulch for planting beds under trees.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Buying in cubic yard bulk rather than bagged stone saves real money once you are covering more than a couple hundred square feet, and it is the only practical way to get consistent color across a whole front bed. If you are also ordering topsoil for planting pockets within a rock bed, schedule both deliveries the same day so your crew is not waiting around twice.

Decorative Stone in Nashua

Glacial till drains slowly and holds water right where your foundation meets the yard, which is exactly where a lot of Nashua homeowners fight mud every spring thaw. Landscape rock over fabric solves that by giving water somewhere to go instead of pooling against the sill. With a growing season that runs from late May to early October, rock beds also mean you are not fighting mulch breakdown or weed pressure during the short window you actually want your yard looking finished. It is a common choice around the older foundations near Mine Falls Park where drainage matters more than curb softness.

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 actually stay in place through a Nashua winter?

Yes, once it is installed over fabric it is essentially a permanent groundcover, not something you refresh yearly like mulch. Frost heave in the till can shift edging slightly over a few winters, so check your border edging each spring, but the rock itself does not need replacing.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a typical front foundation bed?

A bed 20 feet long by 3 feet wide is 60 square feet, which at 2 inches deep needs about a third of a cubic yard, and at 3 inches deep closer to half a yard. Most Nashua foundation beds run half a yard to one full yard depending on house frontage.

Answer

Is spring or fall a better time to install rock in Nashua?

Either works since rock is not weather sensitive like planting, but many people install after last frost in late May once beds are cleared, or in early fall before leaves start dropping heavily. Avoid installing right before a wet stretch since till soil underneath needs to be reasonably dry for fabric to lay flat.

Answer

Where will the truck place the rock on delivery day?

You choose the drop spot at checkout, typically the driveway or curb closest to your project area. Make sure the path is clear of vehicles and low branches, and know how far you will need to wheelbarrow it since the truck cannot drive onto lawn or till soil without leaving ruts.

Answer

Should I use landscape rock or mulch around my foundation?

Rock is the better choice directly against foundations and around downspouts because it does not hold moisture against siding and never needs replacing. Mulch is better where you have plants that benefit from organic matter breaking down into the soil, so many Nashua yards use both, rock at the house line and mulch further out in planting beds.
