About this landscape rock

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

Great service. We ordered topsoil from Mulch Mound and the best experience. Thank you so much!

At a 2 inch depth, one cubic yard of rock covers about 162 square feet, so a typical 300 square foot front bed runs close to two yards. Go closer to 3 inches deep near downspouts or high traffic edges where sandy soil tends to let material migrate, which pushes coverage down to about 108 square feet per yard. Measure the bed first, then decide on depth based on how much runoff or foot traffic that spot actually sees.

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.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Landscape fabric underneath is what turns this into the decade long groundcover people expect, without it the sand works rock down into itself over a couple of seasons. Edging helps keep rock from migrating onto the lawn in Navarre's sandy, loose soil. Some homeowners pair a rock border with mulch beds further from the foundation, giving plants organic matter where it counts and rock where drainage and permanence matter more.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down, especially in Navarre's sandy soil where loose rock without a barrier slowly sinks and mixes into the ground over a year or two. Once that happens, you are raking rock out of sand forever. Fabric keeps the two layers separate so the rock stays a clean, defined layer on top, which is the whole reason people choose rock over mulch in the first place.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake here is skipping edging along lawn borders. Sandy soil has almost no resistance to lateral movement, so rock migrates onto grass with mowing, rain, and normal foot traffic faster than people expect. A simple metal or paver edge keeps the line clean for years instead of monthly raking.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you are doing foundation beds and open lawn areas in the same project, order rock for the foundation lines and downspout zones only, and use mulch or groundcover plants for the rest. Rock costs more per yard delivered than mulch, and it does nothing for soil health, so reserving it for the spots where drainage and permanence actually matter keeps the project efficient.

Decorative Stone in Navarre

Navarre's sandy soil drains so fast that organic mulch breaks down and washes thin within a season, especially with the rain patterns this close to the Gulf. Rock does not care about that, it sits on top of the sand and stays put whether the summer is wet or the winter stays dry. It is a common choice for the low beds around downspouts and foundations near Navarre Beach Fishing Pier area homes, where sand kicks up and organic mulch just gets buried in it. Because the ground rarely freezes here, rock installed now settles into place year round instead of heaving with frost.

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

Answer

Will landscape rock actually stay put in Navarre's sandy soil?

Yes, on top of the soil rock stays where you put it far better than mulch does. The concern is not the rock sinking through sand over time without a barrier. Installing landscape fabric underneath solves this and keeps the rock as a distinct top layer for years instead of working itself into the ground.

Answer

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

At a standard 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 200 square foot bed needs a little over one yard, order two to have enough for edges and settling. Going 3 inches deep for a heavier look drops coverage to about 108 square feet per yard, meaning closer to two full yards for that same bed.

Answer

Is there a bad time of year to install rock in Navarre?

Not really, since the ground here rarely freezes and rock is not weather dependent the way planting is. Some people prefer to install before the rainy summer months so fabric and edging have time to settle before heavy runoff, but it is a one time job that works in any season.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck place the rock and what should I prepare?

The load is dropped at the driveway or yard location you specify at checkout, so make sure there is clear truck access and enough room to maneuver. Mark your intended drop spot with a cone or stake if it is not obvious, and clear any parked cars or obstacles from the path beforehand.

Answer

Should I choose rock or mulch for beds near my house?

Rock makes sense for foundation lines, downspout areas, and low maintenance beds where you want a one time install that lasts. Mulch is better where plants benefit from organic matter breaking down into the soil. Many Navarre yards use both, rock near the house and mulch farther out in planting beds.
