One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at the standard 2 inch install depth, or less if you go closer to 3 inches for better weed suppression. Measure your bed's length and width, decide your depth, and work backward from there rather than guessing. Most Parkland front yard beds run smaller than people expect once you actually measure, so it is worth doing the math before ordering.

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

Landscaping fabric underneath is what makes this a decade long install instead of a weed patch by next summer, so plan on that as a companion purchase if your beds do not already have it. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the rock from migrating onto lawns or walkways, which matters more in sandy soil where borders shift over time. If you have beds where you actually want plants thriving rather than just contained, pair rock in the foundation zones with mulch in the planting zones instead of using it everywhere.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

In Parkland's sandy soil, always run fabric under your rock, not just weed barrier fabric but a proper landscape grade version, because sand alone lets rock sink and disappear into itself within a couple of years. The fabric also stops sand from working its way up between stones, which keeps your rock looking freshly installed instead of muddy after every rainy season. Skip this step and you will be topping off the bed within two or three years.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake in this climate is installing rock flush against foundation walls with no gap, then wondering why leaves and organic debris build up in the corners and never dry out. Leave a couple inches of clearance and blow out debris after storms. Rock does not trap moisture the way mulch does, but trapped leaves on top of rock rot just the same and stain lighter colored stone.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Because this is a one time install rather than an annual refresh like mulch, it is worth ordering slightly more than your bare minimum calculation rather than doing a second small delivery later to patch a shortfall. A little extra rock stored in a bin or bag for future gaps costs less hassle than a second delivery fee for a small top off six months down the road.

Decorative Stone in Parkland

Parkland sits on sandy, fast draining soil that does not hold mulch or organic material in place the way heavier soils do, especially with the seasonal downpours that come through South Florida. Rock does not wash away, does not break down, and does not need refreshing after every wet season, which makes it a practical match for beds along foundations and under downspouts where erosion is the real enemy. It is also a good fit for the clean, structured look common in Parkland's newer developments near Pine Trails Park. Just keep in mind it will not feed your soil, so keep it away from beds where you want plants pulling nutrients from organic matter.

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 Parkland's sandy soil?

Yes, rock actually performs better than mulch in Parkland's sandy soil because it does not break down or wash away with heavy seasonal rain. It works best over fabric so the sand and rock stay separated, otherwise the two mix over time and the bed looks muddy. It is a strong choice for foundation beds and low maintenance front yards.

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. If you want better coverage and weed suppression at closer to 3 inches deep, plan on around 2.5 cubic yards instead. Always round up slightly rather than ordering the exact minimum.

Answer

When is the best time to install rock in Parkland?

Anytime works since Parkland does not have a hard freeze to plan around, with a nominal frost date of January 20 that rarely amounts to much. Many people install before the summer rainy season starts so the bed and any fabric underneath are fully settled before heavy storms arrive. Installing during a dry stretch also just makes the work easier.

Answer

Can the delivery truck reach my driveway or do I need special access?

Delivery trucks need reasonable access to drop the load at your driveway or curb, so let us know at checkout if you have low hanging branches, gated access, or a narrow street. Most Parkland properties are straightforward, but tight HOA communities sometimes have specific drop zones, so choose your placement carefully before the truck arrives.

Answer

Should I choose rock or mulch for my front beds?

It depends on the bed. Rock is the better call for foundation beds, areas around downspouts, and anywhere you want a one time install instead of annual upkeep. Mulch is still the better choice where you have plants that benefit from organic matter breaking down into the soil. Many Parkland yards end up using both, rock near the house and mulch in planting beds.
