About this landscape rock

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

Placing an order online was so easy. Delivery was on time. When the driver realized we had a newly poured driveway they erred on the side of caution and opted not ti drive in it. The company even sent me a message explaining that call. Would recommend!

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, decide your depth, and order in full cubic yard increments since this is sold by the yard, not the bag. Most Newnan front beds along a foundation run somewhere between 2 and 5 cubic yards, but odd-shaped beds around trees or downspouts should be measured section by section.

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 makes rock a decade-long install instead of a weed patch by next summer, so it's worth ordering alongside your stone. Steel or aluminum edging keeps clay soil from creeping into the rock bed after heavy rain. If you're mixing rock with planted areas, a load of soil or compost for those beds keeps the two systems from fighting each other.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Newnan's red clay holds water right at the surface after storms, so grade your rock bed with a slight slope away from the house before you lay fabric. If the bed sits flat or dips toward the foundation, rock just becomes a decorative way to pond water against your brick. A couple inches of fall over a few feet is enough, and it's much easier to fix before the rock goes down than after.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake we see is skipping fabric to save a little money, then fighting johnsongrass and clay-loving weeds pushing through rock within a season. Clay soil here holds weed seed well, and once it roots under rock it's a pain to pull without disturbing the whole bed. Fabric first, rock on top, and you're looking at a install that holds for a decade instead of a redo next spring.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock pairs oddly well with mulch on the same property, since you can use rock in high-traffic or foundation zones and mulch in planting beds that actually need organic matter feeding the soil. This splits your budget sensibly instead of covering everything in stone, which looks flat and costs more up front than most people expect for larger yards.

Decorative Stone in Newnan

Newnan's red clay compacts hard and drains slowly, which makes it a rough base for plantings but a fine base for rock once you've got fabric down. In neighborhoods built around the City of Homes, a lot of front yards run partial shade under mature trees, and rock beds cut down on the mowing and edging headaches clay grass creates. With clay holding water near foundations, a rock border around downspouts gives runoff somewhere to go without washing out mulch every storm. It also holds up fine through zone 8a winters, no freeze heave to worry about like you'd get further north.

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 work over Newnan's red clay without extra prep?

You'll want fabric between the clay and the rock regardless of soil type, but clay actually holds a rock bed's shape better than sandy soil once it's graded properly. The main prep step is making sure the bed slopes away from your foundation before installing, since clay already drains slowly and flat grading traps water under the rock.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a bed along my foundation?

At a 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a typical 30 foot by 3 foot foundation bed runs close to half a yard, meaning most people round up to a full yard for a bit of buffer. Wider beds or a 3 inch depth for better coverage will use more, so measure first and add a small margin.

Answer

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

Not really, since rock isn't temperature sensitive like plants are, but installing before the Apr 16 last frost date means you avoid working fabric and stone into muddy, half-frozen clay. Late fall after leaf drop is also a good window, since you won't be laying rock right before leaves bury it for the season.

Answer

Can the delivery truck get through a standard residential driveway?

Most Newnan driveways handle a delivery truck fine, but let us know at checkout if you have a narrow gate, steep grade, or low hanging branches, since that affects where the load gets placed. The driver will drop the rock as close to your work area as access allows, so clear a path before your scheduled delivery.

Answer

Should I choose rock or mulch for a front bed near my foundation?

Rock makes sense if you want a one time install that holds its look for years without refreshing, especially near downspouts or foundations where organic mulch tends to wash or rot. Mulch is the better call if you've got plants that want their soil fed and improved over time, since rock traps leaves and never breaks down into the clay beneath it.
