About this landscape rock

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

Delivery was smooth and on time!
The triple shredded mulch was great quality and just what we were looking for.

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's length and width, decide on 2 or 3 inches depending on how much weed suppression you want, then order in full cubic yard increments since this is a one time install, not something you will be topping off every season.

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 turns this from a few years of decent coverage into a decade-long install, so lay it before the rock goes down. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the stone out of the lawn and off the driveway, which matters more here than in yards with softer soil transitions. Some customers pair a rock border with mulch beds closer to the foundation where they still want plants that need organic matter.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

In Rock Hill's clay, do not skip the fabric barrier. Clay holds moisture longer than sandy or loamy soil, and rock laid straight onto bare clay will slowly work its way down into the mud over a few wet seasons, especially near downspouts where water concentrates. Fabric keeps the stone riding on top where it belongs and keeps the clay from bleeding up through the gaps after heavy Piedmont thunderstorms.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake we see locally is installing rock right up against the foundation without a gap for downspout discharge to escape. Clay soil already drains slowly, so if the rock bed traps water against the foundation you get standing water after every storm. Leave a slight grade away from the house and make sure downspout extensions actually clear the rock line before you finish the install.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Because this is a one time install rather than an annual refresh like mulch, it is worth ordering a little extra on the first pass, an extra half yard is cheaper over ten years than a second delivery fee for a top off. Rock does not compress or decompose like organic mulch, so what you lay this year is largely what you will have in 2035.

Decorative Stone in Rock Hill

Rock Hill sits on heavy clay that drains slowly, so beds near downspouts and low spots along the Riverwalk corridor often stay soggy after a storm. Rock over fabric solves that by keeping water moving across the surface instead of pooling in mulch that breaks down and compacts the clay further. With a zone 8a growing season and mild winters, there is no freeze heave to worry about once the base is set. It is a common choice here for foundation beds where homeowners want something that will not wash out during summer thunderstorms.

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

Will landscape rock work in Rock Hill's clay soil without shifting?

Yes, as long as it goes down over landscape fabric. The fabric keeps the stone from sinking into the clay over time and stops the clay from working its way up through the rock after heavy rain. Without fabric, clay can slowly swallow a thin rock layer over a few wet seasons.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a foundation bed?

One cubic yard covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth. Measure your bed's square footage, decide between 2 and 3 inches depending on how much coverage you want, and divide accordingly. Most foundation borders around a typical Rock Hill home run half a yard to two yards depending on house size.

Answer

When is the best time to install landscape rock here?

Anytime the ground is not frozen works, and with a last frost around April 1 and first frost around November 10, that is most of the year in Rock Hill. Many homeowners install in early spring before summer thunderstorms arrive or in fall once temperatures cool down, but this is a one time project, not something tied to a season.

Answer

Where will the truck place the rock on delivery day?

We place the load in your driveway or another spot you specify in the delivery notes at checkout. Make sure there is a clear path for a full size dump truck and enough room for the load to sit until you move it, since this material is heavy and best moved by wheelbarrow in stages rather than all at once.

Answer

Should I choose rock or mulch for a bed near my house?

Rock makes sense for foundation beds and areas near downspouts where you want a permanent, low-maintenance surface that will not wash out in a storm. Mulch is better where you have plants that benefit from organic matter breaking down into the clay. Many Rock Hill yards use both, rock near the house and mulch further out in planting beds.
