About this landscape rock

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

One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, which is the standard install depth for most front-yard beds and groundcover areas. If you want a deeper 3 inch layer for heavier foot traffic or weed suppression along a fence line, plan on closer to 108 square feet per yard. Measure your bed length and width first, then decide on depth before ordering so the load matches the job.

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.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Most rock installs in Pasco go down over landscape fabric, so figure that into the order if you have not laid it yet. Edging material keeps the rock from migrating into lawn areas, especially on the sandier lots near the river where soil shifts more than clay-heavy ground would. Some customers also pair a smaller batch of a contrasting rock size or color for borders and dry creek beds.

Areas we deliver landscape rock in Pasco, Washington

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

In Pasco's sandy loam, skip skipping the fabric. Rock laid straight onto bare soil will slowly work its way down into loose ground over a season or two, especially near downspouts where water concentrates. A woven landscape fabric underneath keeps the rock riding on top instead of sinking, and it also blocks the fine native sand from working its way up between the stones over time.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake we see locally is installing rock right up against irrigation heads or drip lines without a buffer. Pasco's summer heat means most beds run on drip, and rock settling over emitters chokes flow and hides leaks until plants start dying. Leave a small gravel-free ring around each emitter or use a riser so you can service the line without digging out stone.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Because this is a one time install rather than an annual refresh like mulch, it pays to order slightly generous rather than run short and need a second delivery for a small gap. A half yard extra is cheap insurance against measuring error, and leftover rock stores fine in a bin for future downspout or edging fixes around the property.

Decorative Stone in Pasco

Pasco sits at 390 feet with sandy loam soil that drains fast and does not hold organic mulch in place the way heavier clay soils do further west. Landscape rock does not care about that drainage, it just sits on top of fabric and stays put through the hot, dry summers and the wind that funnels along the Columbia near Sacajawea State Park. A lot of local yards use it against foundations and along fence lines where irrigation is limited and grass struggles anyway. Because zone 7b winters here are mild, there is no frost heave issue to worry about once it is installed.

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 Pasco's dry summer heat?

Yes, rock handles Pasco's hot, dry summers better than organic mulch because it does not break down or bleach out in the sun. It also will not blow around in wind the way lighter bark mulch can. Once installed over fabric it holds its position for years without needing to be topped off each season.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a 500 square foot bed?

At the standard 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 500 square foot bed needs roughly 3 cubic yards. If you want a deeper 3 inch layer for a high traffic path or heavier weed suppression, plan closer to 4.5 cubic yards for the same area.

Answer

When is the best time to install rock in Pasco?

Spring or fall works well since the ground is workable and you avoid installing fabric and rock during peak summer heat. With last frost around April 2 and first frost around October 25, you have a wide window, and because rock is a permanent install rather than a seasonal refresh, timing is more about your comfort than the plants.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck place the rock on my property?

The truck delivers to your driveway or another accessible spot you specify when you schedule at checkout. Make sure the path is clear and wide enough for a loaded truck, and let us know if there are low branches, narrow gates, or slopes that could limit access.

Answer

Should I choose rock or bark mulch for my Pasco yard?

Rock makes sense for foundation beds, downspout areas, and low-maintenance groundcover where you do not want to refresh material yearly. Bark mulch is better where you want organic matter feeding the soil around plants that need it. Many Pasco yards use both, rock near the house and mulch in planted beds further out.
