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.

At the standard 2 inch install depth, one cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet, so a 300 square foot bed runs close to 2 cubic yards. If you want a deeper 3 inch bed for erosion control on a slope or a rain-heavy corner, plan on roughly 108 square feet per cubic yard instead. Measure the bed, pick your depth, and order by the yard rather than guessing bags.

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 rock a decade-long install instead of a weed patch by next summer, so most Palm Coast jobs order that alongside the stone. Edging, whether metal or paver, keeps the sand from creeping back into the bed line over time. If you have planting beds mixed in with the rock areas, a separate load of garden soil or mulch for those spots keeps the organic and mineral zones distinct.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

In sandy Palm Coast soil, skip laying rock straight onto bare ground. Without landscape fabric underneath, the stone slowly sinks into the sand over a year or two and weeds push up through the gaps anyway. Lay fabric, pin it down at the edges, then place the rock at 2 to 3 inches on top. This one step is the difference between a bed that still looks sharp in five years and one that needs stone added back within 18 months.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake we see locally is treating rock beds like mulch beds and expecting them to feed the soil around plantings. Rock traps falling leaves and oak debris instead of breaking them down, so beds near mature trees need occasional blowing out or they build a layer of organic muck on top of the stone. Reserve rock for foundation lines and open groundcover areas, and use mulch where you actually want plants to thrive.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Because this is a one time install rather than an annual refresh like mulch, it is worth ordering slightly heavier on yardage up front rather than doing a thin layer and topping off later. A full 3 inch depth against foundations also cuts down on splash-back staining from Florida's heavy summer rain, which is a real problem at 2 inches or less near stucco walls.

Decorative Stone in Palm Coast

Palm Coast sits on sandy soil at 10 feet of elevation, which means water moves through fast but heavy summer rain still pools around downspouts and low corners of a yard. Rock does not compact into that sand or wash away in a downpour the way mulch does after a Florida thunderstorm. It also skips the fungus and termite concerns that come with organic mulch sitting against a house in zone 9b humidity. A lot of the beds we deliver to near Washington Oaks Gardens State Park use rock specifically because it holds its line through the wet season without refresh.

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

Does landscape rock work well in Palm Coast's sandy soil?

Yes, rock actually performs better than organic mulch here because it will not compact into sand or wash out during heavy summer rain the way bark mulch can. Over landscape fabric it stays put through the wet season and holds its line along foundations and downspouts without shifting.

Answer

How many cubic yards of rock do I need for a 400 square foot bed?

At the standard 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 400 square foot bed needs roughly 2.5 cubic yards. If you are going 3 inches deep for better erosion control near a downspout, plan closer to 3.7 cubic yards for the same area.

Answer

When is the best time to install rock in Palm Coast?

Rock can go in any time of year since it is not weather dependent like planting, but installing before the summer rainy season lets the fabric and edging settle before heavy storms arrive. Cooler months between the December first frost and February last frost are also easier working conditions if you are doing the labor yourself.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck place the rock?

You choose the drop spot at checkout, typically a driveway or curb area close to your project. Make sure that space is clear and accessible, since the load comes on a truck that needs room to maneuver, and have a path ready for wheeling material to the actual bed.

Answer

Should I choose rock or mulch for my front bed?

Rock makes sense for foundation lines, downspout areas, and low-maintenance groundcover since it is a one time install that will not need annual refresh. Mulch is better where you have plants that benefit from organic matter breaking down into the soil, since rock traps leaves and debris without feeding anything underneath it.
