About this landscape rock

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

Great service. We ordered topsoil from Mulch Mound and the best experience. Thank you so much!

At the standard 2 inch depth, one cubic yard of rock covers about 162 square feet, so a typical 300 square foot front bed runs close to 2 cubic yards. Go to 3 inches deep for areas with heavier foot traffic or drainage concerns and expect coverage to drop to around 108 square feet per yard. Measure the bed in square feet first, then match it against these numbers before ordering.

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 actually makes this a decade-long install instead of a weed patch by year two. Steel edging or a paver border keeps the rock from migrating into the lawn during Pueblo's spring runoff, and a lot of customers pair a smaller decorative rock bed with mulch elsewhere on the property for the areas that actually need plants to thrive.

Areas we deliver landscape rock in Pueblo, Colorado

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down, not after, and overlap seams by at least 6 inches. In Pueblo's clay loam, skipping fabric means weeds push through within a season because the soil holds just enough moisture to germinate seeds that blow in off nearby lots. Fabric is the difference between a one time install and redoing the bed in two years.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock traps leaves and cottonwood fluff instead of breaking them down like mulch does, so beds near mature trees need a leaf blower pass in fall before the October frost, not after snow packs debris into the stone. Skipping this turns a clean bed into a compost layer sitting on top of your rock by spring.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order slightly more than your calculated total, an extra quarter yard covers uneven grading without a second delivery charge. Rock is a one time cost against years of no replacement, unlike mulch that needs refreshing annually, so it is worth sizing the order right the first time rather than trickling in small top offs later.

Decorative Stone in Pueblo

Pueblo's clay loam sheds water slow and cracks hard when it dries out in July heat, which makes organic mulch a losing bet in beds that bake all afternoon at 4,692 feet. Rock does not break down, does not need replacing before the next hard freeze, and does not care that the growing season here runs short between the April 30 and October 5 frost dates. A lot of Pueblo yards use it along foundations and downspout runoff paths where the soil already stays saturated after storms off the Front Range. It is the material you install once and stop thinking about.

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 work in Pueblo's clay soil without drainage problems?

Yes, rock actually performs better than mulch in clay loam because it does not hold moisture against the soil surface. Install it over fabric with a slight grade away from your foundation and it sheds water instead of trapping it, which matters in Pueblo where clay already drains slowly after summer storms.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a 400 square foot bed?

At the standard 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 400 square foot bed needs roughly 2.5 cubic yards. If you want better coverage at 3 inches for a high traffic area, plan closer to 3.7 cubic yards instead.

Answer

What time of year should I install rock in Pueblo?

Anytime the ground is not frozen works, but late spring after the April 30 last frost or early fall before October gives you the easiest digging in clay loam. Avoid installing right after heavy rain when the soil is soft and hard to grade evenly.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck place the rock?

The load goes wherever you specify, typically a driveway or curbside spot with clear truck access. Make sure the path is wide enough for a full size delivery truck and let us know at checkout if there are gates, slopes, or low branches to work around.

Answer

Should I choose rock or mulch for a front yard bed in Pueblo?

Rock makes sense for foundations, downspout areas, and beds you do not want to redo every year, since it is a one time install rather than an annual refresh. Mulch is better where you have plants that benefit from organic matter breaking into the soil, so a lot of Pueblo yards use both in different zones.
