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

Easy to order, great service, and great product. We enjoy the final look of a very neglected beds we inherited!

At the standard 2 inch depth, one cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet, so a typical 300 square foot front bed runs close to 2 cubic yards. If you want a deeper 3 inch bed for heavier foot traffic or drainage near downspouts, figure closer to 108 square feet per yard. Measure your bed in square feet first, then divide by the coverage number for the depth 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.

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

Landscaping fabric goes down first if you want the rock to stay a decade-long groundcover instead of a weed bed by next spring. Steel or aluminum edging keeps it out of the St Augustine, which matters more here than in yards with less aggressive grass. 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

Clay loam in this area holds water longer than sandy soil, so grade your bed with a slight slope away from the foundation before you lay fabric. If the bed is flat, rock just sits in standing water after Hill Country downpours and the fabric underneath goes anaerobic and smells. A 1 to 2 percent slope, barely visible to the eye, is enough to keep the whole bed dry between storms.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake we see locally is skipping fabric because people think rock alone blocks weeds. In New Braunfels heat, any organic debris that blows in germinates fast, and without fabric you are pulling weeds through gravel by June. Fabric first, rock on top, and plan on an occasional leaf blower pass in fall since oak leaves collect in rock beds and never break down on their own.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order slightly more than your calculated total if your beds border St Augustine or bermuda, since edging failures let rock spread into the lawn and you will want extra on hand to top off low spots rather than scheduling a second delivery for half a yard. Pairing a rock border with mulch islands around trees also saves material since trees do not need rock depth to look finished.

Decorative Stone in New Braunfels

New Braunfels sits on clay loam that drains slowly, and this stone helps direct water away from foundations instead of holding it against the slab the way organic mulch can once it compacts. Zone 9a summers here are long and hot, and rock does not bake down or blow away like mulch does after a dry August. It is a common choice around downspouts and along the low-water beds that a lot of homeowners near Gruene and the river are shifting to. Over fabric it becomes a groundcover that outlasts a decade of Hill Country heat with no yearly refresh.

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

Does landscape rock work well in New Braunfels clay soil?

Yes, rock actually performs better than mulch on clay loam because it does not compact into the soil or hold moisture against foundations. The key is grading the bed with a slight slope so water moves off instead of pooling under the fabric layer.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a 400 square foot bed?

At a standard 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 400 square foot bed needs roughly 2.5 cubic yards. If you want 3 inches of depth for a heavier look or better weed suppression, plan closer to 3.7 cubic yards.

Answer

When is the best time to install rock beds here?

Anytime works since rock is not seasonal like mulch, but many homeowners install before the March last frost so beds are set before spring growth and summer heat arrive. Avoiding the muddiest stretches of clay soil after heavy spring rain makes the install itself easier.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck place the rock?

The load goes wherever you specify at your driveway or a spot with truck access, and delivery is scheduled once your order is placed. Make sure the path is clear and wide enough for a full size truck, especially if your lot has a narrow driveway or gate.

Answer

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

Rock is generally the better choice against foundations because it will not hold moisture against the slab the way mulch can as it breaks down. Mulch is better suited to planting beds where shrubs and perennials benefit from organic matter feeding the soil over time.
