About this landscape rock

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

One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, or a smaller footprint if you go to 3 inches, which we recommend for foundation beds and areas with heavier foot traffic. Measure your bed's length and width, decide on 2 or 3 inches, and order by the cubic yard rather than guessing with bags, since bagged rock runs expensive fast on anything bigger than a small planter bed. Most single family lots in Ogden need between 2 and 5 cubic yards depending on how much lawn is being converted.

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.

First time going with this company for mulch and it was an efficient process from start to finish. Website was easy—I told them exactly where I wanted the mulch put on my driveway, and it was delivered perfectly when I got home from work the next day. Best deal around when I compared it to competitors and I will definitely be becoming back.

Landscape fabric underneath is what makes rock a one time install instead of a yearly chore, it blocks weeds from working up through the clay loam beneath. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the rock from migrating into the lawn, especially useful on the sloped lots common around Ogden's bench areas. If any part of your bed will have plants that want organic matter, keep those areas mulched separately since rock traps leaves and starves the soil underneath it.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Ogden's clay loam drains slowly, so before you spread rock, grade the bed with a slight slope away from the foundation, even a half inch of fall over several feet keeps water from pooling under the fabric. Skipping this step is the most common reason rock beds around Ogden homes end up soggy and eventually grow moss on the north facing sides where the sun does not reach as directly.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock traps falling leaves instead of absorbing them like mulch does, and Ogden's tree lined older neighborhoods near Union Station drop a heavy load each fall. Plan on blowing or raking leaves off rock beds a few times between late September and the first frost around October 17, otherwise decomposing leaf litter builds a thin soil layer on top of the rock that weeds will happily colonize.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Buying in bulk cubic yards instead of bagged rock cuts your cost dramatically once you are covering more than about 100 square feet, and it also means fewer plastic bags to deal with. If you are doing a foundation bed and a front yard conversion at the same time, order both quantities together, since one larger delivery is more efficient than two separate trips to the same address.

Decorative Stone in Ogden

Ogden's clay loam soil holds water and compacts hard, which is exactly the kind of ground where rock beats bark for long term coverage, it will not break down and mix into the clay the way organic mulch eventually does. With Ogden's dry summers and a first frost that does not usually hit until mid October, rock stays put and does not need refreshing before winter. A lot of homes near Union Station and through the older Ogden neighborhoods use rock beds along foundations and downspouts, where clay soil holds moisture against the house and drainage rock keeps that water moving away from it. At 4,280 feet the sun is intense, and rock handles UV exposure without fading or breaking down the way mulch does over a season.

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

Answer

How long will landscape rock actually last in an Ogden yard before I need to redo it?

Properly installed over fabric, landscape rock is a one time project, not an annual refresh like mulch. It does not break down, fade significantly, or need replacing on any regular schedule. The only maintenance is occasionally topping off spots where rock has been displaced or blown clear during windy spells, which is minor compared to yearly mulch turnover.

Answer

How many cubic yards of rock 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. If you want 3 inches of depth for a foundation bed or high traffic area, plan closer to 2.75 cubic yards for the same footprint.

Answer

When is the best time to install rock beds in Ogden before winter sets in?

Late summer through early fall works well, ideally finishing before the first frost around October 17, since the ground is easier to grade and fabric lays flatter without frozen or frost heaved soil underneath. Spring installs after the April 15 last frost also work, but you will be racing weed germination in Ogden's clay loam if you wait too long.

Answer

Where will the rock be dropped and do I need equipment to move it?

We place the load at a driveway or curb location you choose during checkout, wherever a delivery truck can reasonably access. From there most homeowners use a wheelbarrow and flat shovel to move rock into beds, and for larger jobs a rented cart or extra set of hands speeds things up considerably.

Answer

Should I use rock or mulch around my foundation in Ogden?

Rock is the better choice against foundations since it does not hold moisture against the house the way mulch can, and Ogden's clay loam already drains slowly enough without adding organic matter that retains water. Save mulch for planting beds where soil health matters, and use rock in the strips closest to your home's foundation and downspouts.
