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!

One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, which is the standard install for most front-yard beds and downspout aprons. For a slightly heavier 3 inch depth, figure closer to 108 square feet per yard. Measure your bed length and width first, then decide on depth based on whether it's a walkway edge or a full groundcover bed.

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.

A ton is 2,000 pounds of material. As a general guideline, one ton of rock covers roughly 100 square feet at 2 inches deep, depending on rock size and density.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Most rock beds in Rogers go down over landscape fabric, so budget for that layer before the stone arrives. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the rock from migrating into the lawn or a gravel driveway, and a lot of customers pair a rock bed with a strip of mulch closer to the foundation where they still want to plant something that needs organic matter.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rogers clay holds water right at the surface after a heavy rain, so grade your bed with a slight slope away from the foundation before you lay fabric. If the ground is flat, water sits under the rock and the clay stays saturated for days, which eventually pushes stone up unevenly. A couple inches of fall over 10 feet is enough to keep the bed draining instead of pooling.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake we see is skipping fabric to save a step. Without it, clay works up through the rock within a year or two and you end up with a muddy, weedy mess that looks worse than plain dirt. Fabric is cheap insurance against redoing the whole bed, and it's the difference between a decade-long install and a two-year one.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock is a one-time cost compared to mulch you replace annually, so it pencils out over five or six years even though the upfront yardage costs more per load. If you're covering a large front yard bed, consider mixing in a cheaper base layer of crushed stone underneath a thinner cap of your decorative rock to stretch the order without changing the look on top.

Decorative Stone in Rogers

Rogers sits on rocky clay that already drains poorly when it's saturated and cracks hard when it dries out, so a lot of homeowners here are moving beds away from soil amendments and toward stone that just sits on top and sheds water. With a growing season bounded by an April 15 last frost and an October 28 first frost, there's a workable window each spring and fall to get fabric and rock down before the ground either freezes or turns to soup. Around downspouts especially, where clay funnels runoff, rock stands up to erosion better than bark ever will. It's also a practical match for the foundation beds common on the ranch and split-level homes around town.

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 over the clay soil we have in Rogers?

Yes, and it actually performs better than mulch on our rocky clay because it doesn't hold moisture against the ground the way organic material does. Lay landscape fabric first to separate the rock from the clay, otherwise the clay will eventually work its way up through the stone over a few seasons.

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. Order a little over that estimate rather than under, since running short means a second delivery for a small top-off.

Answer

What time of year should I install rock in Rogers?

Anytime between the last frost around April 15 and the first frost around October 28 works fine, since rock installation doesn't depend on planting season. Many people prefer spring or fall when the clay soil isn't baked hard or waterlogged, which makes grading and fabric placement easier.

Answer

Where will the rock be placed when it's delivered?

We drop the load on a driveway, parking pad, or other hard surface you point out at checkout, not directly on the lawn or bed. Have a clear path planned for moving it by wheelbarrow, and make sure the drop spot can handle the weight of a loaded delivery truck.

Answer

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

Rock is the better call right against a foundation since it doesn't hold moisture against the house and it's a one-time install instead of an annual refresh. If you're planting anything in that bed that wants organic matter working into the soil, though, mulch further out from the foundation is still the better fit.
