At the standard 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet at 2 inches, less at 3 inches for heavier coverage. Measure your bed length by width, decide your depth based on how much foot traffic or weed pressure you expect, and order in full cubic yards since this is a one time install, not a seasonal refresh. Most Provo front yard beds run 1 to 3 cubic yards depending on size.

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.

First time going with this company for mulch and it was an efficient process from start to finish. Website was easy—I told them exactly where I wanted the mulch put on my driveway, and it was delivered perfectly when I got home from work the next day. Best deal around when I compared it to competitors and I will definitely be becoming back.

Landscape fabric underneath is what makes rock a decade long investment instead of a weed farm, lay it before delivery day if you can. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the stone out of your lawn and off the sidewalk, especially useful on sloped Provo lots. A lot of customers pair rock beds with mulch in planting areas that actually need organic matter, using rock only where drainage and permanence matter most.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Provo's silty loam holds moisture longer into spring than sandy soils, so lay landscape fabric before you spread rock, not after. If you skip fabric, fines from the rock work down into the wet soil over a season or two and you lose that clean separation, making the bed harder to weed and impossible to reclaim without screening the whole thing out later.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake we see in Provo yards is spreading rock too close to siding without a gap. Snowmelt off roofs during the spring thaw needs somewhere to go, and rock packed tight against a foundation wall traps moisture against the wall instead of directing it away. Leave a few inches of clearance and slope the bed slightly away from the house.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock is a one time cost against years of mulch refreshes, but only if you size the order right the first time. Under ordering means a second delivery just to finish one bed, which costs more in the long run than rounding up initially. Measure twice, especially on irregular beds around downspouts, before you place your order.

Decorative Stone in Provo

Provo sits at 4,549 feet with a growing season that runs roughly May through late September, so anything organic breaks down fast between frost dates and needs yearly attention. Rock does not care about that cycle. Over the silty loam common across Provo lots, a rock bed drains the spring runoff off Bridal Veil Falls snowmelt season without turning to mud like mulch can. It is the material people here choose for foundation borders and downspout zones where standing water is the real enemy.

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

Answer

How long will a rock bed actually last before I need to redo it?

With fabric underneath, a properly installed rock bed in Provo's climate typically holds its look for a decade or more without replacement. It will not break down like mulch does each season. The only maintenance is occasionally blowing out leaves and debris that settle on top, since rock does not feed soil or decompose the way organic mulch does.

Answer

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

At the standard 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 200 square foot bed needs roughly 1.25 cubic yards. Rounding up to 1.5 cubic yards gives you a buffer for settling and any low spots in the bed, which is worth it since this is meant to be a permanent install.

Answer

Can I install rock myself over Provo's clay heavy soil?

Yes, but grade the bed first so water does not pool, since silty loam drains slower than sandy soil. Lay landscape fabric, then spread the rock at 2 to 3 inches. Spring after the last frost around April 30 is a good window since the ground has usually dried enough to work without turning into mud.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck place the load on my property?

You choose the drop location at checkout, and the driver places the load as close to that spot as the truck can safely access. Make sure your driveway or designated area is clear beforehand, and note if you have narrow gates or slopes typical of some Provo hillside lots so the driver can plan the approach.

Answer

Should I use rock or mulch around my downspouts?

Rock is the better choice around downspouts and foundation lines because it does not wash out or compact the way mulch can under concentrated runoff. Mulch works better in planting beds where you want organic matter feeding the soil. Many Provo yards use both, rock for drainage zones and mulch for garden beds.
