At a 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard covers roughly 162 square feet at the shallow end of that range. Measure your bed's length and width, decide whether you want a light 2 inch dusting or a fuller 3 inch coverage that hides fabric better, then order by the yard rather than guessing bags. Most Plano front beds run somewhere between 2 and 5 cubic yards depending on how much of the yard is being converted.

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.

A ton is approximately 2,000 pounds. Coverage varies by stone type and depth, but as a general guideline, one ton covers roughly 80-100 square feet at 2 inches deep.

Landscape fabric underneath is what makes this a decade-long install instead of a weed patch by August, so it is worth laying before the rock goes down. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the stone from migrating into the lawn during mowing, especially where beds border St. Augustine, which is common in Plano yards. A few cubic yards of soil or compost for the planting pockets themselves rounds out a full bed conversion.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay fabric before you spread, not after, and overlap seams by at least six inches, pinned down every couple feet. In Plano's clay, ground movement during the wet spring and dry summer swings can shift unpinned fabric enough to expose bare seams within a season, which is when weeds find the gap and rock ends up mixed into soil you can't easily separate again.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake with rock beds here is skipping edging and assuming the rock will just stay put. Clay soil doesn't hold a firm bed edge the way sandier soils do, so without steel or aluminum edging, mowing and rain eventually push stone into the turf, and you'll be picking rock out of a mower deck by the second summer.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Because this is a one time install rather than an annual refresh, it pays to size the order slightly generous rather than order twice. A partial second delivery for a small top off costs more per yard in time and hassle than getting an extra half yard up front, and leftover rock never really goes to waste around a property with downspouts and drainage runs.

Decorative Stone in Plano

Plano's black clay shifts and cracks in the summer heat, and organic mulches tend to wash or compact into it after a few seasons of that movement. Rock does not break down, so it rides on top of the clay instead of mixing into it, which keeps beds looking the same in year five as year one. It is a good match for the low, wide foundation beds common on Plano's newer builds, and for the drainage paths people cut around downspouts to keep clay from pooling water against the slab. It is a poor choice for beds with perennials or anything that wants yearly compost, since the fabric underneath blocks that exchange.

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 work with Plano's clay soil or should I amend the ground first?

Rock sits on top of the clay rather than mixing into it, so amending isn't necessary for the rock itself. What matters more is grading the bed so water doesn't pool on the clay under the fabric, since standing water there can eventually work rock and fabric loose from below.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a typical front bed?

One cubic yard covers about 162 square feet at 2 inches deep. A common Plano foundation bed running 30 feet long and 4 feet deep is about 120 square feet, so that's a bit under one yard at 2 inches, or closer to one and a half yards if you want a fuller 3 inch depth.

Answer

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

You can install rock any time of year since it doesn't need to root or establish like plants do, but many people prefer doing it before the Nov 12 first frost or after the Apr 3 last frost so they're not kneeling in cold clay. Summer heat also makes fabric stiffer and easier to cut and pin.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck place the rock, and what do I need to prepare?

The load gets dropped at the driveway, curb, or another accessible spot you specify, since trucks generally can't drive across lawns or soft clay without risking ruts. Clear a space roughly the size of a parking spot and have a wheelbarrow route to the bed planned before the truck arrives.

Answer

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

Rock is the better call right against a foundation since it doesn't hold moisture against the wall the way mulch can, and it won't need refreshing every year. Mulch still wins in beds with perennials or shrubs that benefit from the organic matter breaking down into the soil over time.
