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

At a 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 or 3 inch depth, and order in whole cubic yards since partial yards are hard to schedule efficiently. Most Prescott front yard beds run somewhere between 2 and 5 cubic yards depending on how much lawn 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 2,000 pounds of material. As a general guideline, one ton of rock covers roughly 100 square feet at 2 inches deep, depending on rock size and density.

One of the easiest customer service experiences I've had in a long time! Mulch Mound made it so simple. After putting it off for a while, I looked at the weather and knew I needed to get to mulching ASAP before the rain came if I didn't want to wait another week. I put my order in for the next day online and they came right at 9 AM. The employee who dropped off the mulch did a great job, putting it right on the tarp I laid out, she even made sure none of it got on the yard and double checked the truck bed to make sure it all came out. The mulch was exactly what I needed and arrived right on time.

We have always spread our own mulch for the past 24 years. This was our first time with the Mulch Mound - things I liked: they have online ordering and provide a digital receipt which means you can remember how much you ordered (I always forget for the next year!), they were on time, they were able to deliver in 48 hours, they were generous with the portion (we got 9 yards and it felt like a FULL nine yards!), the driver was polite! We have ordered from reputable places, and there is always a little trash in the mulch. The mulch we recv'd from Mulch Mound had barely any... we were pleasant surprised!!! Color was great! Not to mention - the price was competitive and LOWER than other mulch places around. We will use again !! Highly recommend! Thanks Mulch Mound!

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Landscape fabric underneath is what makes this a decade long install instead of a five year one, since it stops the rock from working itself into the rocky loam below. Steel edging holds a clean line where rock meets lawn or planting beds. Some customers also order a smaller quantity of soil or compost for the planting pockets they are leaving between the rock, since rock alone does not feed anything nearby.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscape fabric before spreading rock, not after, and overlap the seams by several inches. In Prescott's rocky loam, skipping fabric means the rock slowly sinks into the native soil over a few winters as freeze thaw cycles heave the ground underneath. Once that happens you end up needing to top off the bed, which defeats the whole point of a one time install. Pin the fabric down every few feet before the rock goes on top.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake is spreading rock flush against stucco or wood siding without a gap. Rock holds and reflects heat, and pushed right up against a structure it can bake trim or cook plant roots in the narrow zone against the foundation. Leave a few inches of bare soil or a gravel border strip right against the wall itself, then let the rock field start beyond that gap.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If your project includes both open groundcover areas and planting pockets, order the rock as one bulk delivery but keep a tarp or empty space nearby to stage it before spreading, since Prescott lots often have uneven grading that makes wheelbarrow routes longer than they look on paper. Buying it all at once in one trip is more efficient than trying to top off later with a smaller order.

Decorative Stone in Prescott

Prescott sits at 5368 feet with a rocky loam base that already drains fast, so decorative rock fits the native soil profile better than imported organic mulch does. Zone 7b means real freeze thaw cycles through winter, and rock does not compact, wash out, or break down the way bark products do after repeated freezes. With the long dry stretch between last frost in April and first frost in late October, rock beds also cut down on the weed pressure that shows up once irrigation starts running for summer. It is a common choice here for beds that sit close to the house where people want something that will not need refreshing every year.

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

How long will landscape rock actually last in Prescott's climate before I need to redo it?

Properly installed over fabric, landscape rock in Prescott typically holds up for a decade or longer without needing to be replaced. It does not break down like bark mulch does, and our freeze thaw winters do not degrade the stone itself. The fabric underneath is what wears out first, usually from UV exposure at the edges, long before the rock does.

Answer

How many cubic yards of rock do I need for a 500 square foot front yard bed?

At a 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 500 square foot bed needs roughly 3 to 3.5 cubic yards. If you want a deeper 3 inch layer for better weed suppression, plan closer to 4.5 to 5 cubic yards for the same area.

Answer

What time of year should I install landscape rock in Prescott?

Anytime between last frost in late April and first frost in late October works, though many people prefer spring before the ground gets too hard from summer heat. Avoid installing right during monsoon downpours since wet fabric and rock are harder to lay flat and level.

Answer

Can the delivery truck get the rock close to my backyard bed?

Trucks can typically reach driveways and front yard areas directly, but backyard beds usually mean wheelbarrowing the rock from the drop point. Let us know about gates, slopes, or narrow side yards when you order so the load gets placed as close as possible to your work area.

Answer

Should I get landscape rock or decomposed granite for my Prescott yard?

Landscape rock gives you a more defined, chunkier look that holds its shape and drains well, good for beds against the house or around downspouts. Decomposed granite compacts into a firmer, more natural looking surface, often chosen for pathways or patio areas rather than planting beds. Both hold up well in our rocky loam and dry climate.
