How Much Landscape Rock Do I Need?
How Much Landscape Rock Do I Need?
At a standard 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard of rock covers roughly 162 square feet at the shallow end of that range. Measure your bed length and width, decide on depth based on how much foot traffic or weed pressure you expect, and order in full cubic yards since partial yards complicate delivery scheduling. Most Orangeburg front beds run 100 to 300 square feet, so plan on 1 to 2 yards for a typical project.

Great experience with mulch mound. Their online calculator made it easy to estimate how many yards of mulch I needed and delivery was quick. I would definitely recommend them for your future projects.
Complete Your Outdoor Project
Landscape fabric underneath is what makes this a decade-long install instead of a five-year one, so budget for a roll before the rock arrives. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the stone from migrating into your sandy loam lawn over time. If you're mixing rock beds with planted areas, a load of mulch for the planted sections gives a clean visual break between the two.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down, not after, and overlap the seams by at least six inches. In Orangeburg's sandy loam, skipping fabric means fine soil works its way up through the stone within a couple growing seasons, and once that happens you're pulling rock to fix it. The fabric is what turns a one time install into an actual decade-long groundcover instead of a five year one.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
The biggest mistake we see locally is installing rock beds directly under live oaks or pines without planning for leaf drop. Rock traps organic debris instead of letting it compost into soil like mulch would, so beds near mature trees need a leaf blower pass every few weeks in fall and again after spring pollen season. If your bed sits under heavy canopy, consider mulch there instead and save the rock for open, sunny beds.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Order rock and any bedding sand or fabric in the same delivery when possible, since combining materials into one trip is more efficient than scheduling separate deliveries for each component. If you're doing multiple beds around the property, measure them all before ordering rather than guessing bed by bed, since rock left over from an oversized order just sits in a pile rather than getting used elsewhere like mulch would.
Decorative Stone in Orangeburg
Orangeburg's sandy loam drains fast, which is good for rock beds since you won't get standing water pooling under the stone after a storm off the Edisto. The flip side is that fine soil particles can migrate up through the rock over the years if fabric isn't installed first. With a long growing season here in zone 8b, organic debris from live oaks and pines falls nearly year round, so rock beds near tree canopy need occasional blowing out. Around foundations and downspouts, though, this material just sits and does its job for years with no fuss.
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.
