At a standard 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard of landscape rock covers roughly 162 square feet at the shallow end of that range. Measure your bed's length and width first, then decide if you're going 2 inches for a light groundcover look or closer to 3 inches for better coverage over fabric. Most North New Hyde Park front yards run somewhere between a quarter and a half cubic yard for a single bed.

Mulch Mound delivered a yard of pea gravel to us. Delivery was on time, driver was friendly and hit a bullseye on the “tarp target”. We used the pea gravel (which was diameter as specified) to fill several muskrat holes around our pond. I would definitely recommend Mulch Mound to a friend!
Landscape fabric underneath is what makes this a decade-long install instead of a weed patch in two seasons. A steel or aluminum edging strip keeps the rock from migrating onto the lawn, which matters more on the smaller lots typical here. If any part of the bed borders plantings that want real soil feeding, consider keeping mulch there and reserving rock for the foundation lines and downspout areas.
Service area
In sandy loam like North New Hyde Park has, skip skimping on the fabric barrier under your rock. Sandy soil lets weed roots push through thin or torn fabric faster than clay does, and once a weed gets established in rock it's a pain to pull without disturbing the whole bed. Spend the extra time overlapping fabric seams by at least 6 inches and pinning it well before the rock ever goes down.
The biggest mistake locally is installing rock right up against a house without a gap at the siding. Sandy loam drains well but heavy fall rain still needs somewhere to go, and rock packed tight to the foundation can hold moisture against wood siding longer than people expect. Leave a couple inches of clearance and slope the bed slightly away from the house.
Buying the full cubic yardage you need in one delivery instead of topping off later saves you from color mismatch, since rock batches can vary slightly by quarry run. It also means one clear path for the delivery truck instead of two, which matters on the narrower streets around the Vanderbilt Motor Parkway area. Order a little extra rather than exactly to the yard.
North New Hyde Park sits on sandy loam that drains fast, which means rock beds here rarely get soggy or sink the way they might in heavier clay soils. With frost arriving mid November and last frost in mid April, this is a long stretch where a rock bed just sits there looking finished, no mulch to blow away or break down. It works well tucked against foundations near the Vanderbilt Motor Parkway corridor and in the low-maintenance beds so common on these smaller Long Island lots. The one thing to watch is leaf litter from mature street trees, since rock traps it instead of absorbing it like mulch would.
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.
