Ordered Dirt. Received Dirt. Would Buy Again.

One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, which is the standard install depth for most front yard beds. Go to 3 inches for high traffic areas or spots near Summit Motorsports Park where runoff picks up speed, and expect coverage to drop to around 108 square feet per yard. Measure your bed in square feet first, then divide by the coverage number for your chosen depth.

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.

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!

Most Norwalk customers lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down, which keeps silt loam from working its way up through the stone over time. Steel or aluminum edging holds a clean line against turf, and a few cubic yards of mulch nearby for planting islands within the rock bed gives contrast without fighting the rock for moisture.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscape fabric before the rock, not after, and overlap seams by at least 6 inches since Norwalk's silt loam is fine grained enough to migrate up through gaps within a couple seasons. Skip fabric only if you plan to rake and refresh the bed regularly. Pin the fabric down every few feet, because freeze thaw cycles through the winter will lift loose edges and expose bare fabric by spring.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake we see locally is piling rock against wood siding or fence posts without a gap. Moisture from silt loam holds against the base of rock beds longer than people expect, and untreated wood in contact with damp stone rots faster than it would in open soil. Leave an inch of clearance and consider a metal or vinyl transition strip anywhere rock meets a structure.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order slightly more than your calculated total if you're bordering a bed near mature maples, since leaf litter compresses into the top layer and makes the rock look thinner by the second fall. A little extra depth up front means you won't need a follow up delivery for years. Pairing a lighter gray stone with darker mulch in adjacent beds also helps distinguish planting zones without extra edging.

Decorative Stone in Norwalk

Norwalk's silt loam holds water well, which is great for lawns but murder on organic mulch that breaks down fast in a wet bed. Rock over fabric shrugs off that moisture cycle and the freeze thaw swings between our Apr 15 last frost and Oct 30 first frost without heaving or washing out. It works especially well against foundations and around downspouts where standing water is common after a Maple City spring rain. Just know it will trap maple leaves come fall, so beds near mature trees need occasional blowing out.

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 with Norwalk's clay heavy silt loam soil?

Yes, in fact rock performs better than mulch in silt loam because it does not break down or compact into the wet soil the way organic material does. Install fabric underneath first to keep the fine soil particles from working up into the stone over a few seasons of freeze and thaw.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a 300 square foot bed?

At the standard 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 300 square foot bed needs just under 2 cubic yards. Round up to 2 full yards to account for edges and uneven ground, and go to 3 yards if you want a 3 inch depth for heavier traffic areas.

Answer

What is the best time of year to install landscape rock in Norwalk?

Anytime the ground isn't frozen works, but late spring after the Apr 15 last frost or early fall before Oct 30 gives you dry, workable soil for laying fabric and edging. Avoid installing right after heavy spring rain when silt loam turns soft and muddy underfoot.

Answer

Where will the rock be dropped and can the truck reach my backyard?

Delivery trucks place the pile at your driveway or curb, they do not drive onto lawns or navigate tight backyard access. Plan on wheelbarrowing material from the drop point, and clear at least a 10 foot wide spot for the truck before your scheduled date at checkout.

Answer

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

Rock is the better call against foundations since it does not hold moisture against the house the way mulch can, and it will not need replacing every year or two. Mulch is the better choice if you're planting things that benefit from organic matter breaking down into the soil, which rock never provides.
