Most rock installs in this area go down over landscape fabric, so pick that up before delivery day. Edging material like steel or paver strips keeps rock from migrating into the lawn during the heavy spring rains that come through before last frost. If you are working a bed near plantings, keep the rock a few inches back from stems so it does not trap moisture against them.

Areas we deliver landscape rock in Russellville, Arkansas

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down, not after, and overlap seams by at least six inches. Russellville's silt loam is soft enough that weeds will find any gap in coverage within a season. Skipping fabric to save time usually means pulling rock back up within a year or two to fix a weed problem that fabric would have prevented from the start.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock beds near trees and gutters collect leaf litter every fall before the November 3 frost, and that debris breaks down into a thin layer of soil sitting on top of your stone. A leaf blower on a low setting a few times each fall keeps the bed looking clean and stops volunteer seedlings from rooting in that buildup.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Because rock is a one time install rather than an annual refresh like mulch, it is worth ordering slightly more than the bare minimum coverage calculation, especially on uneven beds where low spots eat extra material. A little overage now costs less in aggravation than a second delivery later for a small top off.

Decorative Stone in Russellville

Russellville's silt loam holds water well, which is good for lawns but means bare soil near foundations and downspouts erodes and puddles over time. Landscape rock solves that by capping the surface so runoff sheets off instead of digging channels. With growing zone 7b winters bringing occasional freeze and thaw around the Arkansas River Valley, rock does not heave or wash out the way loose mulch can after a hard rain off the lake. It is a common choice here for foundation beds and low beds that never quite dry out.

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 does landscape rock actually last in Russellville yards?

Landscape rock does not break down like mulch, so a properly installed bed with fabric underneath can look the same for a decade or more. The main upkeep is occasional leaf and debris removal, especially in fall before the first frost, rather than replacing material season to season.

Answer

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

At a 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 200 square foot bed needs roughly 1.25 cubic yards. Most people round up to 1.5 yards to allow for uneven ground and edges, or go to 2 yards if they want a fuller 3 inch depth.

Answer

What is the best time of year to install rock beds here?

Late fall through early spring works well since the ground is workable and you are not fighting summer heat while spreading and leveling. Installing before the last frost around April 1 also means beds are settled and clean before spring plant growth and yard work ramp up.

Answer

Where will the truck place the rock on delivery day?

We drop the load as close to your work area as the truck can safely reach, usually a driveway, curb, or hard surface near the bed. Steep grades or soft ground can limit where the truck sits, so clearing a wide, flat access path ahead of time helps the delivery go smoothly.

Answer

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

Rock is generally the better choice right against a foundation since it does not hold moisture against siding or attract wood-loving pests the way mulch can. It also outlasts mulch by years, though it will not feed the soil, so beds with plants that want organic matter often do better with mulch instead.
