Pullman Landscape Rock Delivery

About this landscape rock

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

Online ordering was really simple and I liked the transparent pricing.

At a standard 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard of landscape rock covers roughly 162 square feet at the shallower end. Measure your bed's square footage first, then decide between 2 inches for light coverage or 3 inches for a fuller look that better resists Pullman's freeze thaw heaving. Most front yard beds and foundation strips here run 3 to 6 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.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Landscape fabric underneath is worth doing right the first time, since rock over bare soil eventually works itself into the ground and starts sprouting weeds through it. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the rock from migrating into lawn areas, especially useful on the sloped lots common around Pullman. Some customers pair a rock border with a mulched planting bed further from the foundation where they actually want organic matter breaking down.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Pullman's silt loam expands and contracts with our freeze thaw cycles more than sandier soils do, which can cause rock to settle unevenly over a season or two along foundation lines. Compact the subgrade before laying fabric, and consider a slightly deeper 3 inch install near foundations rather than 2, since it resists frost heave disruption better and keeps your edging line looking clean through winter.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake we see locally is skipping fabric because it seems like an extra step. Without it, rock sinks into our silt loam within a couple seasons and weeds root right through from below. Fabric is what makes this a true one time install instead of a project you are redoing by year three, and it is far cheaper to install correctly now than to pull rock back up later.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you are doing foundation beds plus a larger front yard area, order rock for the whole project in one delivery rather than staging it, since color lots can vary slightly between deliveries weeks apart. Pair rock with mulch in planting beds where you actually want soil life and moisture retention, and save the rock for zones where drainage and permanence matter more than plant health.

Decorative Stone in Pullman

Pullman's silt loam holds water well, which is great for the lentil fields around town but bad news for beds that stay soggy against a foundation. Rock solves that by shedding water instead of absorbing it, and it will not compact into the mud the way our loess based soil can after a wet spring. With last frost typically around May 5 and first frost by October 5, you have a workable window most of the year to get rock down before winter sets in at our 2513 foot elevation. It is a common choice near downspouts and foundation lines where WSU area homeowners want something that will not wash out or need replacing.

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 around my foundation with Pullman's clay heavy soil?

Yes, rock is actually one of the better choices for foundation zones here, since it drains rather than holding water against your siding like mulch can in silt loam. Just make sure the subgrade is compacted and use fabric underneath so the rock does not settle into the soil over a few winters.

Answer

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

At a 2 inch depth, 200 square feet needs a little over 1.2 cubic yards, so most people order 1.5 to be safe. If you want a fuller 3 inch depth instead, plan on closer to 2 cubic yards for the same area.

Answer

What is the best time of year to install rock in Pullman?

Anytime between last frost around May 5 and first frost around October 5 works well, since you want dry ground to properly compact the base and lay fabric. Late spring after the soil dries out from snowmelt is often easiest, since our silt loam can be quite saturated earlier in the season.

Answer

Can your truck get up my driveway if I'm near campus or on a slope?

Most residential driveways around Pullman, including the sloped lots common near WSU, are no problem for our delivery trucks. Let us know at checkout if you have a steep grade, tight turn, or gravel driveway so we can plan the drop spot and make sure the load lands where you actually want to work from.

Answer

Should I get rock or mulch for my front yard beds?

It depends on what is planted there. Rock is a one time install that lasts for years and handles our wet silt loam well, but it does not feed soil and traps fallen leaves, so it is a poor fit around plants that want organic matter. For active planting beds, mulch is usually the better call, while rock suits low maintenance zones and foundation borders.
