One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, or a bit less if you go to 3 inches for better weed suppression. Measure your bed's length and width first, then decide on depth based on whether it is a foundation strip or a larger open bed. Most New Hyde Park front yard beds run somewhere between half a yard and two yards depending on how much lawn is being converted.

We had a great experience today. This was our first time using Mulch Mound, and I found the price competitive and the online ordering very easy. We are impressed with the quality of the mulch, too! It is covering well - a great value!
Delivery was smooth and on time!
The triple shredded mulch was great quality and just what we were looking for.
Landscape fabric underneath is what makes rock a decade long install instead of a losing battle with weeds, so budget for that if you have not already got it down. Edging, whether steel or paver, keeps the stone from migrating into the lawn, which matters more on the smaller lots common around the village center. If any beds border plantings that want real soil feeding, keep a separate mulch zone rather than covering everything in stone.
Service area
Sandy soil like New Hyde Park's compacts differently under fabric than clay does, so stake your landscape fabric every 18 inches instead of the usual 2 to 3 feet spacing. Sandy ground shifts more with freeze thaw cycles through the winter, and loose fabric edges let rock work down into the soil over a few seasons, which means topping off sooner than you should need to with a one time install.
The biggest mistake we see locally is rock installed right up against foundation plantings that need organic matter. Rock traps leaves instead of breaking them down, and it blocks the compost and mulch that shrubs and perennials rely on. Keep a mulch ring around anything living, and reserve rock for the strictly ornamental or drainage focused zones like downspout aprons and dry strips along the house.
Order rock and any edging or fabric in the same delivery window if you can, since running the truck once instead of twice saves real money over a full yard project. If you are doing multiple beds around the property, it is worth measuring all of them at once and ordering the total cubic yardage together rather than piecing it out bed by bed.
New Hyde Park sits on sandy soil that drains quickly, which is actually good news for rock beds since you rarely deal with standing water or soggy stone. With the last frost around April 15 and first frost around November 15, there is a wide window to install without fighting frozen ground. A lot of the village's lots are compact, close to Marcus Avenue and the older Long Island Village neighborhoods, where homeowners want a clean, low upkeep foundation border instead of another bed to weed. Rock over fabric handles that job and does not need refreshing like mulch does.
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 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.
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.
