About this landscape rock

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

Ordered Dirt. Received Dirt. Would Buy Again.

At a standard 2 inch install depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 300 square foot bed runs close to two yards. If you want a deeper 3 inch bed for better weed suppression, plan on roughly 108 square feet per yard instead. Measure length by width for each bed and add them together before ordering so the delivery covers everything in one trip.

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!

Landscape fabric underneath is worth the extra step here, it keeps the rock from working down into the sandy loam over time and cuts back on weeds pushing through. Steel or aluminum edging holds a clean line against St. Augustine or centipede lawns, which are the common turf choices around Pace. A few bags of topsoil or compost nearby are useful if you are also tucking in a planting bed next to the rock area.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Pace's sandy loam drains so well that rock beds rarely need a moisture barrier, but they do need fabric to stop the stone from sinking into the soil over a few seasons. Lay heavier landscape fabric, overlap seams by several inches, and pin it down before spreading rock. Skipping this step means you will be raking rock out of the dirt within two or three years, especially in beds that get foot traffic or hose spray.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake we see in Pace yards is putting rock down right up against plants that want organic matter, azaleas and camellias especially. Rock traps fallen leaves instead of breaking them down, and over a hot, humid summer that trapped debris holds moisture against stems and invites rot. Keep rock for open groundcover and foundation zones, and use mulch in beds with plants that actually benefit from decomposing material.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Because this is a one time install rather than a yearly refresh, it pays to get the depth right the first time instead of skimping to save a delivery. A properly set 2 to 3 inch bed with fabric underneath can last a decade with just occasional top offs after leaf season, which makes the upfront yardage a better long term value than buying light and topping off every year.

Decorative Stone in Pace

Pace sits on sandy loam that drains fast, which is actually good news for rock beds since you rarely deal with standing water under the stone. With a growing season that runs long, from late February frost to late November, homeowners here want groundcover that does not need touching between those dates. Rock handles that, sitting flat and stable through humid summers and the occasional gulf storm without washing out the way looser materials can. It is a common choice for foundation beds and low beds along fence lines near Benny Russell Park style properties where people want structure, not upkeep.

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 well with the sandy soil we have in Pace?

Yes, sandy loam actually drains too well for some materials but it is ideal under rock, since you avoid the standing water issues that heavier clay soils cause elsewhere. Just add fabric underneath so the rock stays on top of the soil instead of settling into it over time, which is the main long term issue in sandy ground.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a 200 square foot bed?

At a 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 200 square foot bed needs a little over one yard, call it 1.25 to be safe. If you want a deeper 3 inch layer for better coverage, plan closer to 2 yards for the same area.

Answer

Is there a bad time of year to install rock in Pace?

Not really, since rock installs any time of year and does not depend on planting seasons the way mulch or sod does. Many people time it around late winter, after the last frost in late February, when they are already doing other yard cleanup, but there is no real weather window you need to hit.

Answer

Where will the rock get dropped off and do I need to move it myself?

The load gets placed in your driveway or another spot you specify at checkout, and from there you will need a wheelbarrow to move it to the actual beds. Make sure the drop area has clear truck access, especially if your driveway has a narrow approach or overhanging trees.

Answer

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

Rock is the better call right against the foundation since it does not hold moisture against siding or brick the way mulch can in our humid summers. It also does not need refreshing yearly, which matters if that bed is hard to reach. Save mulch for planting beds where you want the soil to benefit from it breaking down over time.
