One cubic yard covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, which is the standard install depth for most residential beds. Go to 3 inches around high-traffic areas or slopes and your coverage drops closer to 110 square feet per yard, so measure your bed first and decide on depth before you order. Because this is a one time install, it pays to order slightly generous rather than come up short and have a visible seam later.

Most OKC customers laying rock also put down landscape fabric first, since that's what turns this into a decade-long groundcover instead of a weed magnet. Edging material helps keep the clay soil from working rock into the lawn over time, and if you've got planting beds mixed in with the rock areas, a load of mulch for those spots rounds out the project.
Service area
OKC's clay soil compacts hard under weight, so before you spread rock, grade the bed so water has somewhere to go, ideally sloping slightly away from the foundation. If you skip this step, rock beds can hold standing water after a heavy spring storm since clay drains so slowly underneath. A few inches of gravel base under the fabric in low spots solves this before it becomes a puddle problem every time it rains.
The biggest mistake we see with rock beds here is skipping fabric or using a cheap fabric that degrades in a season or two. Once weeds root into clay under thin fabric, they're much harder to pull than out of mulch. Spend on a heavier woven fabric up front, since this is a one time install and redoing it later means moving all the rock off the bed first, which nobody wants to do twice.
Rock costs more up front than mulch but you're not buying it again next spring, so think in total years of coverage rather than per-yard cost. If you've got a large area, consider mixing zones, rock near the foundation and downspouts where drainage matters, mulch in planting beds where you want the soil fed. That split gets you permanence where you need it and healthier soil where plants actually live.
OKC's clay soil sheds water fast when it's compacted, which is exactly why rock works so well around downspouts and low spots where mulch tends to float away after a spring storm. With growing zone 7a swinging from summer heat to hard freezes by early November, organic mulch breaks down quicker than people expect, but rock just sits there and does its job for years. It's also common here to see rock used as a clean border against foundations, since the clay expands and contracts and rock doesn't trap the moisture against the house the way bark does. Just know it won't feed your beds, so plants that want organic matter should get mulch instead.
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.
