About this landscape rock

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

Online ordering was really simple and I liked the transparent pricing.

One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a standard 2 inch depth, or less if you go closer to 3 inches for better weed suppression. Measure your bed's length and width, decide your depth, then order in full cubic yards since this isn't a material you want to run short on mid project. Most front yard beds in Onalaska run somewhere between 2 and 5 cubic yards depending on how much of the yard is in rock versus lawn.

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.

Landscape fabric underneath is what makes this a decade long install instead of a weed patch, so budget for it if you don't already have it down. Edging, whether steel or plastic, keeps the rock from migrating into the lawn during mowing season. Some customers pair a rock border with mulch beds closer to the house where they're planting anything that wants organic matter.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

In Onalaska's silt loam, skip laying rock straight on bare soil. The fines work down into that loam over a couple seasons and you'll be pulling weeds through gravel by year three. Landscape fabric or a woven geotextile underneath keeps the rock riding on top where it belongs, and it's the difference between a groundcover that lasts ten years and one that needs redoing after five.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake is treating rock beds like mulch beds and forgetting they still need upkeep. Leaves off maple and oak trees around Onalaska fall right into open rock and rot down into a thin soil layer that then grows weeds. A leaf blower pass in October and April keeps beds clean, since rock traps organic debris instead of breaking it down like mulch does.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Because this is a one time install rather than an annual refresh like mulch, it pays to size the order right the first time rather than ordering light and topping off later, since color lots can vary slightly between deliveries. Pair rock borders with mulch in planting beds closer to the house, since anything you're actually growing wants organic matter that rock can't provide.

Decorative Stone in Onalaska

Silt loam soil around Onalaska compacts and sheds water slowly, which means beds against the house or near a downspout often stay damp longer than homeowners expect. Rock over landscape fabric solves that by keeping the surface dry and stable instead of letting mud track up against your foundation. With winters running from mid October to mid May, you also want a groundcover that doesn't wash out or heave with freeze thaw cycles, and screened stone handles that better than loose mulch. It's a common choice near Lake Onalaska properties where erosion control matters as much as looks.

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 Onalaska's clay-heavy silt loam without drainage problems?

Yes, as long as the bed has slight grading away from the foundation. Rock itself doesn't hold water like mulch can, but silt loam underneath drains slowly, so a couple inches of slope over the length of the bed keeps water moving instead of pooling under the fabric.

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 settling and edge buildup, or go with 3 yards if you want a fuller 3 inch depth.

Answer

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

Late spring after last frost around May 15 through early fall before the ground firms up in October is the easiest window, since you're not fighting frozen or waterlogged soil while laying fabric. That said, rock installs fine any time the ground isn't frozen, unlike planting projects tied to the growing season.

Answer

Where will the rock be dropped and can the truck get up my driveway?

The truck places the load wherever you specify at checkout, typically the driveway or a spot close to the work area. Make sure there's clear overhead clearance and enough width for a delivery truck, and let us know if you're on a tighter lot or shared driveway common in some Onalaska neighborhoods.

Answer

Should I choose landscape rock or mulch for beds around my house?

Rock makes sense for foundation beds, downspout areas, and low-maintenance zones where you want a one time install that lasts. Mulch is better anywhere you're actively planting, since it breaks down and feeds the soil, something rock never does. Many Onalaska yards use both, rock along the house and mulch in planting beds further out.
