About this landscape rock

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

At a 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard covers roughly 162 square feet at the shallow end of that range. For a typical 100 to 150 square foot foundation bed or downspout apron, one yard usually gets you there, and larger front yard groundcover jobs run 2 to 3 yards. Measure length by width first, then decide if you want the leaner 2 inch depth or the more settled 3 inch look.

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.

First time going with this company for mulch and it was an efficient process from start to finish. Website was easy—I told them exactly where I wanted the mulch put on my driveway, and it was delivered perfectly when I got home from work the next day. Best deal around when I compared it to competitors and I will definitely be becoming back.

Most Parma jobs pair rock with landscape fabric underneath to block weeds and keep the silt loam from working its way up through the stone over time. Edging, whether steel or paver, keeps the rock from migrating into the lawn during mowing season. If only part of the yard is getting rock, a border of mulch in the planting beds still gives the organic matter beds that want feeding while the rock handles the low maintenance zones.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down, not after, and overlap the seams by at least six inches. Parma's silt loam holds moisture close to the surface, and any gap in the fabric becomes a spot where soil wicks up between stones within a season or two, giving you weeds growing right through your rock bed by the second summer.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake is installing rock right up against foundation walls without a gap for water to escape. Leave a couple inches of clearance at the wall itself so runoff during Parma's spring thaw has somewhere to go besides sitting against your foundation, which matters more here than in drier climates.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock costs more upfront than mulch per yard but you are not reordering it every spring, unlike a bark mulch bed that needs refreshing annually. Over a five or six year stretch, one delivery of rock often works out to less total material moved and hauled than repeated mulch deliveries for the same bed footprint.

Decorative Stone in Parma

Parma sits on silt loam, a soil that holds water and gets soft in spring, which is exactly the kind of ground where organic mulch turns to mush around downspouts and foundations. A layer of screened rock over fabric sheds that spring melt and the fall leaf drop instead of soaking it in, and it does not compact the way loose soil does after a wet April. With frost hitting by late October and lingering into late April, this is a material that goes down once and does not shift with the freeze thaw cycles that heave lighter groundcovers. It suits the low maintenance front beds common in Parma's older streetcar suburb lots, especially near Stearns Homestead style foundations where drainage matters more than plantings.

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 with Parma's clay heavy soil in spring?

Yes, when installed over fabric. Parma's silt loam holds water near the surface during spring thaw, and rock sheds that moisture instead of absorbing it like mulch does. The fabric barrier is the part that matters most here, without it the rock will eventually settle into the soft ground.

Answer

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

At a 2 inch depth, one yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 200 square foot bed needs a bit over one yard, call it 1.25 yards to have a margin. If you want a fuller 3 inch depth for better weed suppression, plan closer to 1.75 yards.

Answer

What time of year should I install rock in Parma?

Anytime the ground isn't frozen works, but late spring after the last frost around April 30 or early fall before mid October gives you dry, workable soil for laying fabric properly. Avoid installing right after heavy rain since Parma's silt loam gets soft and won't compact well under the base layer.

Answer

Can the delivery truck reach a backyard bed or only the driveway?

Delivery is placed at a single accessible drop spot, typically the driveway or curb, and from there it needs to be moved by wheelbarrow to backyard beds. Let us know the drop location at checkout so the driver knows exactly where to place the load.

Answer

Should I choose rock or mulch for a bed near my foundation?

Rock is the better call near foundations because it does not hold moisture against the wall the way mulch can, and it won't need replacing every year or two. Mulch makes more sense in planting beds where you want organic matter breaking down into the soil, so many Parma yards use both.
