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 the standard 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet at 2 inches, less if you go deeper for better weed suppression. Measure your bed's length and width, decide on depth based on whether it's a walkway edge or a full groundcover bed, then order in full cubic yards since this isn't material you'll want to reorder in small batches later.

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 makes this a decade-long install instead of a weed patch, so lay it before the rock goes down. Edging along bed borders keeps rock from migrating into lawn or gravel paths over time. If you're mixing rock beds with planted areas, keep a separate load of mulch or compost for those pockets since rock alone won't feed the soil around root zones.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Richland's sandy loam drains fast, which is good for rock but means the base underneath needs to be compacted before you lay fabric, otherwise the rock settles unevenly into soft pockets within a year. Rake the bed flat, tamp it down, then lay fabric before spreading rock. Skipping compaction is the single biggest reason rock beds develop dips near downspouts or high foot traffic areas.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake with rock beds here is skipping fabric to save a step, then fighting weeds that root straight into the sandy loam underneath within a season. Fabric also stops rock from sinking into the soil over time, which keeps your depth consistent. Without it, you'll be adding top-up material within two or three years just to maintain coverage.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Because rock is a one time install rather than an annual refresh, it's worth ordering slightly more than the bare minimum calculation to account for settling and edge loss over the first year. Pairing rock beds with a mulched planting pocket lets you get permanence where you want low maintenance and organic benefit where plants need it, without compromising either.

Decorative Stone in Richland

Richland's sandy loam already drains well, so rock doesn't sit in standing water the way it can in heavier clay soils, but that same fast drainage means bare dirt under a thin layer will shift over time without fabric underneath. With a growing season that runs roughly April 17 to October 21, plants near rock beds get a long hot stretch where organic mulch would break down and need topping off. Rock skips that maintenance entirely. It's a common choice here for foundation beds and downspout areas where people want something that won't wash out during winter runoff.

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 landscape rock last in Richland before I need to add more?

Properly installed over fabric with a compacted base, landscape rock is a one time install that holds up for a decade or more. Unlike mulch, it doesn't break down or need annual refreshing. You may top up a small amount after several years if rock migrates from foot traffic or gets buried at edges, but a full redo isn't typical.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a 300 square foot bed?

At the standard 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 300 square foot bed needs roughly 1.85 cubic yards. Most people round up to 2 yards to account for depth variation and settling, especially if the bed has uneven grading.

Answer

What time of year is best to install landscape rock in Richland?

Late fall through early spring works well here since the ground isn't frozen and you avoid working in peak summer heat. With first frost around October 21 and last frost around April 17, that gives a wide window outside the growing season to grade, lay fabric, and place rock without competing with planting projects.

Answer

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

The truck drops the load in your driveway or another accessible spot you specify at checkout. Make sure there's clear access for a large truck and enough room to maneuver, and have a path ready for wheelbarrows if the bed is farther from the drop point.

Answer

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

Rock is generally the better choice against foundations since it doesn't hold moisture against siding or attract pests the way organic mulch can. It's also a one time install rather than something you replace yearly. Mulch is better suited to planting beds where you want organic matter breaking down into the soil over time.
