One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, which is the standard install depth for most bed and groundcover applications. If you want a deeper 3 inch bed for heavier foot traffic areas or to bury landscape fabric edges more completely, plan on roughly two thirds of that coverage per yard. Measure your bed's square footage first, then order by the cubic yard rather than guessing by the bag.

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.

One of the easiest customer service experiences I've had in a long time! Mulch Mound made it so simple. After putting it off for a while, I looked at the weather and knew I needed to get to mulching ASAP before the rain came if I didn't want to wait another week. I put my order in for the next day online and they came right at 9 AM. The employee who dropped off the mulch did a great job, putting it right on the tarp I laid out, she even made sure none of it got on the yard and double checked the truck bed to make sure it all came out. The mulch was exactly what I needed and arrived right on time.

We have always spread our own mulch for the past 24 years. This was our first time with the Mulch Mound - things I liked: they have online ordering and provide a digital receipt which means you can remember how much you ordered (I always forget for the next year!), they were on time, they were able to deliver in 48 hours, they were generous with the portion (we got 9 yards and it felt like a FULL nine yards!), the driver was polite! We have ordered from reputable places, and there is always a little trash in the mulch. The mulch we recv'd from Mulch Mound had barely any... we were pleasant surprised!!! Color was great! Not to mention - the price was competitive and LOWER than other mulch places around. We will use again !! Highly recommend! Thanks Mulch Mound!

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Most Palm Bay rock jobs start with landscape fabric underneath to block weeds pushing up through the sandy base, plus edging to keep the stone from migrating into the lawn during heavy rain. If you are working near planting beds, some homeowners layer in a strip of mulch closer to shrubs and roots that actually want organic matter, saving the rock for the open groundcover areas.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscape fabric before spreading rock, especially in Palm Bay's sandy soil where weed seeds blow in easily and germinate fast in our warm season. Skipping the fabric means weeds root straight into the sand under the stone within a year. Overlap fabric seams by at least 6 inches and pin them down, since loose seams let soil creep up between the rock over time and undo the whole point of a low-maintenance bed.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock beds near Turkey Creek and other low-lying parts of Palm Bay collect leaf litter and pine needles that decompose right on top of the stone, creating a thin layer of soil that then grows weeds anyway. Blow or rake beds clean a few times a year, particularly after storms, rather than letting organic debris build up. This single habit is what separates a rock bed that stays clean for a decade from one that looks tired after two years.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order slightly more than your calculated minimum, since spreading rock evenly to a consistent 2 to 3 inch depth uses more material at bed edges and around curves than flat math suggests. It is more efficient to have a small amount left over for touch ups later than to order a second delivery for a few extra bags. Rock left over also works well topping off drainage spots near downspouts.

Decorative Stone in Palm Bay

Palm Bay's sandy soil drains fast and does not hold organic mulch in place the way heavier soils do, so rock stays put where bark mulch migrates after a hard summer storm. With the growing zone here at 9b and rain arriving often between the last frost in February and first frost near Christmas, homeowners near Turkey Creek Sanctuary lean on rock beds to cut down on weeding and irrigation runoff. It is a strong choice for foundation lines, drainage paths, and any low-maintenance bed where you are not trying to feed the soil beneath it.

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 actually last without needing to be replaced every year like mulch?

Yes, that is the main advantage over mulch. Rock does not break down or fade from sun and rain the way organic mulch does, so a properly installed bed with fabric underneath can go a decade or more without a refresh. You may need to top off low spots occasionally, but you are not buying and spreading new material annually.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a 300 square foot bed?

At the standard 2 inch install depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 300 square foot bed needs roughly 2 cubic yards. If you want a deeper 3 inch bed for better weed suppression, plan closer to 3 cubic yards to be safe.

Answer

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

Not really, since rock installs any time of year, but many people prefer to work outside the peak summer thunderstorm stretch to keep fabric and edging dry while setting it. With frost arriving late December and clearing by early February, winter is actually a comfortable window for a full day install here.

Answer

Where will the truck place the rock on delivery day?

We place the load in a driveway, along a curb, or in another accessible spot you specify at checkout. Palm Bay's sandy soil can be soft after rain, so let us know if your yard has soggy areas or a septic field we should avoid driving over.

Answer

Should I choose rock or mulch for beds close to my shrubs and palms?

Rock works well for open groundcover, foundation lines, and drainage areas, but it does not feed the soil the way organic mulch does. If you have shrubs or palms that benefit from decomposing organic matter, many Palm Bay yards use mulch immediately around the plants and rock for the surrounding open space.
