About this landscape rock

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

Easy to order, great service, and great product. We enjoy the final look of a very neglected beds we inherited!

At a standard 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard of landscape rock covers roughly 162 square feet at the shallow end of that range. Measure your bed length by width, decide whether you want a 2 inch showcase depth or a 3 inch depth for better weed and erosion resistance, then order in full cubic yard increments since this is a one time install you want done right. Most Port Orange front beds and downspout runs land 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.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Landscape fabric underneath is what turns this rock into a true decade long groundcover instead of a bed that grows weeds through the gaps. Steel or aluminum edging keeps it from migrating into the lawn or the swale during heavy rain, and a contrasting mulch in adjacent planting beds gives the yard depth without mixing materials where they do not belong.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

In Port Orange's sandy soil, skip laying rock directly on bare ground even though it seems simpler. Sand lets rock settle and sink over a season or two, and weeds root right through from below. Landscape fabric or a compacted base layer first keeps the rock riding on top where it belongs, and it is the difference between a bed that still looks sharp in five years and one that needs re-leveling by year two.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake we see locally is rock installed right up against tree trunks or shrub bases. In this climate, trapped moisture and heat under stone right at the trunk flare invites rot and pest issues faster than in drier regions. Leave a few inches of bare mulch or soil ring around every trunk before the rock starts, it costs nothing and prevents a slow decline nobody notices until the plant is already stressed.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order rock and mulch together if your project has both zones, since one delivery covers the whole yard instead of two separate trips. Pair a neutral gray or tan rock near the house foundation where you want permanence, and save organic mulch for planting beds that benefit from the nutrients it adds as it breaks down in our humid summers.

Decorative Stone in Port Orange

Port Orange sits on sandy soil at low elevation, which means water moves through fast but also pools in low spots after the region's frequent summer downpours. Rock does not compact into that sand or wash into the swale the way loose mulch can, so it holds a clean line around beds near Dunlawton Sugar Mill Gardens style plantings or along foundation edges. In zone 9b, organic mulch breaks down quickly in the heat and humidity, needing replacement most years. Rock skips that cycle entirely, which is why so many yards here use it around downspouts and low maintenance beds instead.

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 Port Orange's summer storms?

Yes, once installed over fabric or a compacted base, rock stays put through heavy rain far better than mulch does. Our sandy soil drains fast, so standing water is rarely the issue, it is more about the rock migrating during runoff, which edging solves. Most installs here hold their layout for years with no washout.

Answer

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

At a 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 200 square foot bed needs roughly 1.25 cubic yards. Round up to 1.5 cubic yards if you want a fuller 3 inch depth or expect some settling into sandy soil over time.

Answer

What time of year is best to install rock in Port Orange?

Anytime works since rock is not seasonal like planting, but many people schedule installs after the last frost around mid February so beds are finished before spring growth fills in around them. Cooler months are also easier for the physical labor of spreading and leveling.

Answer

Can the delivery truck get close to my backyard beds?

Delivery is placed in your driveway or another accessible spot you specify at checkout, our trucks do not typically drive onto lawns. For backyard beds, plan on wheelbarrow trips from the drop point, and let us know ahead of time if gate width or slope could be an issue.

Answer

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

Rock is the stronger choice right against foundations since it does not hold moisture against siding or attract termites the way wood mulch can over time. It also means you are not redoing that bed every year. Save mulch for planting areas further out where you want organic matter feeding the soil.
