How Much Landscape Rock Do I Need?
One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, or somewhat less if you go to the fuller 3 inch depth that holds up better in this area's freeze thaw cycles. Measure your bed square footage first, then decide on depth based on whether it is a foundation strip or an open front yard bed. Most Port Huron properties with standard lot sizes fall in the 2 to 4 yard range for a full front bed.

I recently ordered from mulch mound and was thoroughly impressed with every aspect of the experience. The entire process, from placing the order to delivery was seamless and efficient. The mulch arrived exactly on time, and the quality exceeded my expectations. The color was rich and consistent, and I received more than enough to complete my project with proper coverage and packing.
Customer service was equally outstanding. Communication was clear, and the team was responsive and professional throughout. It’s rare to find a company that delivers both a high-quality product and excellent service, but mulch mound did just that.
Highly recommended, and I wouldn’t hesitate to order from them again.
Complete Your Outdoor Project
Landscape fabric underneath is nearly mandatory here given the sandy loam, since without it the rock will slowly work its way into the soil over a season or two. A steel or aluminum edging keeps the rock contained along walkways and driveway lines. Some customers pair rock borders with mulch beds further from the foundation, since rock near the house sheds water while mulch further out still feeds the soil.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip
In Port Huron's sandy loam, skip skimping on fabric. Because this soil drains and shifts more than clay, rock without a barrier underneath will sink and mix into the dirt within a couple seasons, especially near downspouts where water runs through constantly. Lay commercial grade landscape fabric, overlap seams by several inches, and pin it down before a single scoop of rock goes on top. This is the difference between a decade-long groundcover and a yearly touch up.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
The biggest mistake locally is placing rock directly against plants that want organic matter, like perennials or vegetable beds. Rock traps falling leaves in autumn and never breaks down to feed the soil the way mulch does, so plantings surrounded by rock often struggle over a few seasons. Keep rock to foundation lines, walkways, and low maintenance groundcover zones, and save organic mulch for anything you actually want to grow well.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Order slightly more than your calculated minimum, since rock delivered short means a second trip and a color or batch mismatch is possible depending on the quarry run. Buying the full amount in one delivery also saves you from paying for two separate deliveries when the project is a one time install anyway. If you are doing both a foundation strip and a walkway border, order them together so the stone reads consistent across the whole property.
Decorative Stone in Port Huron
Port Huron's sandy loam drains fast, which means it does not hold rock in place the way a heavier clay soil would, so a fabric base matters more here than in some regions. With lake effect moisture and freeze thaw cycles between the October and April frost dates, loose soil can heave rock over time if the base is not prepped right. Homeowners here often use rock around downspouts and foundation lines where mulch would just wash out toward Lake Huron drainage patterns. It holds up well against the wind off the water that scatters lighter 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.
