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, or a bit less coverage if you go to 3 inches for better weed suppression. Measure your bed length by width in feet, divide by 162, and that is roughly your cubic yard count at standard depth. Most foundation borders and small front bed projects in Pompano Beach run somewhere between 1 and 3 cubic yards.

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 turns this from a five year patch job into a decade-long groundcover, so lay it before the rock goes down. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the stone from migrating into the lawn, especially useful on the flat lots common around here. Some customers pair rock borders with mulch in the planting beds themselves, since rock handles the foundation line while mulch feeds the soil where things are actually growing.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Because Pompano Beach sits at only about 10 feet of elevation with sandy, fast draining soil, rock beds rarely trap water the way they can in clay heavy regions, but that same drainage means fabric underneath is worth the extra step. Skip the fabric and sand will work rock down into itself over a couple seasons, leaving thin spots that need topping off. Lay fabric, pin it, then spread rock at 2 to 3 inches for full, lasting coverage.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake locally is using rock in beds with heavy leaf drop from live oaks or ficus trees. Rock does not decompose leaves the way mulch does, so organic debris just sits on top, breaks down slowly in the humidity, and eventually feeds weed seeds anyway. Rock works best in beds without heavy tree canopy, like open foundation lines or side yards, not under mature shade trees.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you are mixing rock and mulch across a property, order rock for the foundation perimeter and downspout areas first since that is where it earns its keep long term, then use mulch in the planting beds where soil health matters. Buying both in bulk cubic yard quantities in one delivery window is more efficient than staggering separate small orders over different weekends.

Decorative Stone in Pompano Beach

Pompano Beach soil is sandy and drains fast, which is actually good news for rock, since you are not fighting standing water under the stone the way you would with heavier clay soils inland. With zone 10b heat and a short, mild winter running roughly mid January, there is no frost heave to worry about shifting your rock bed over time. A lot of Gold Coast area yards use rock against block foundations and along the sides of the house where grass struggles anyway. It is a one time install, laid once and left, not something you top off every spring like mulch.

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 hold up in Pompano Beach heat and rain without fading or shifting?

Yes, screened landscape rock is inert stone, so it does not fade from UV exposure or break down in heavy rain the way organic mulch does. It can shift slightly in heavy downpours if not edged, so we recommend steel or plastic edging to keep it contained, especially on sloped or flat sandy lots where runoff moves material around.

Answer

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

At the standard 2 inch install depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 200 square foot bed needs a little over 1 cubic yard, roughly 1.25 to be safe. Going to 3 inches for better weed control means ordering closer to 1.75 to 2 cubic yards for the same area.

Answer

When is the best time to install rock in Pompano Beach?

Anytime works since there is no real frost season to plan around here, with first frost not typically arriving until mid January if at all. Many people prefer installing before the summer rainy season picks up so the bed settles before heavy downpours test the edging and drainage.

Answer

Where will the rock be placed on delivery day, and do I need a clear driveway?

We place the load as close to your project area as the delivery truck can safely access, often the driveway or curb if the yard is not reachable. Clearing a path beforehand, especially around gates or narrow side yards common in older Pompano Beach lots, helps the delivery go faster.

Answer

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

Rock is generally the better choice right against a foundation since it does not hold moisture against the block the way organic mulch can, and it does not need refreshing. Mulch is better suited for planting beds where you want organic matter breaking down into the sandy soil to feed roots over time.
