One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, which is the standard for most bed and groundcover applications. If you want more coverage per bag or better weed suppression, go closer to 3 inches deep, which drops your coverage to around 108 square feet per yard. Measure your bed's length and width first, then decide on depth before you order.

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.

A ton is 2,000 pounds of material. As a general guideline, one ton of rock covers roughly 100 square feet at 2 inches deep, depending on rock size and density.

I recently ordered from mulch mound and was thoroughly impressed with every aspect of the experience. The entire process, from placing the order to delivery was seamless and efficient. The mulch arrived exactly on time, and the quality exceeded my expectations. The color was rich and consistent, and I received more than enough to complete my project with proper coverage and packing.

Customer service was equally outstanding. Communication was clear, and the team was responsive and professional throughout. It’s rare to find a company that delivers both a high-quality product and excellent service, but mulch mound did just that.

Highly recommended, and I wouldn’t hesitate to order from them again.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Landscape fabric underneath is the single biggest factor in how long a rock bed stays clean, since it stops soil and weeds from working up through the stone. Steel or aluminum edging keeps rock from migrating into the lawn, especially important on the sloped lots common around Nashville's older neighborhoods. Some customers add a few larger accent boulders near the Parthenon-adjacent Centennial Park style beds for a more finished look.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Before you spread rock over Nashville clay, grade the bed with a slight slope away from the foundation. Clay compacts and holds water, so a flat or dipped bed will pool during heavy spring rain and float your fabric out of place. A 1 to 2 percent grade, barely noticeable to the eye, is enough to keep water moving instead of sitting under the stone.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake we see is skipping fabric to save a step, then fighting weeds through the rock within a year. Nashville's long growing season, April through October, gives weed seeds plenty of time to root in any soil that works up between stones. Fabric first, rock second, no exceptions if you want this to be a one time install instead of a yearly cleanup.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Because rock is a one time install rather than a seasonal refresh like mulch, it is worth ordering slightly heavier up front, closer to 3 inches, rather than doing a thin 2 inch layer now and topping off later. A second delivery to patch in more rock rarely matches the original color exactly once stone has weathered outdoors for a season or two.

Decorative Stone in Nashville

Nashville's clay and limestone soil holds moisture and sheds it slowly, which is exactly the kind of ground where organic mulch breaks down fast and needs constant topping off. Rock does not care about that cycle. It sits over fabric and stays put through humid summers and the freeze and thaw swings between October and April. It works especially well against foundations and along the base of the house where you want a permanent, low maintenance edge instead of another mulch order every year.

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 much landscape rock do I need for a bed along my Nashville foundation?

Measure the length and width of the bed in feet to get square footage, then divide by 162 for a standard 2 inch depth. A typical 20 foot foundation bed that's 3 feet wide is 60 square feet, which needs well under half a cubic yard, so many foundation jobs round up to one yard minimum.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a 300 square foot yard area?

At 2 inches deep, 300 square feet divided by 162 comes out to just under 2 cubic yards. If you want better long term coverage at 3 inches, plan on closer to 2.8 cubic yards. Rounding up slightly is smart since rock settles once it's spread and walked on.

Answer

When is the best time to install landscape rock in Nashville?

Anytime outside of frozen or saturated ground works, so most of the year between the April 5 last frost and the October 30 first frost is fine. Many people install in early fall after summer heat breaks, since the clay soil is easier to grade and fabric stakes hold better than in a soggy spring bed.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck place the rock on my property?

We place the load wherever you specify, typically a driveway or curb area near your project, and you choose the exact spot when scheduling at checkout. Make sure there's about 10 by 10 feet of clear, accessible space for a full size delivery truck to unload safely.

Answer

Should I choose landscape rock or mulch for my Nashville beds?

Rock is a one time install that lasts for years and holds up well against Nashville's clay soil and heavy spring rain, but it won't feed the soil or break down into organic matter the way mulch does. If you're planting things that want richer soil, mulch is the better fit. For foundation lines, drainage areas, or low maintenance groundcover, rock is the more permanent choice.
