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 the standard 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard of landscape rock covers roughly 162 square feet at the shallow end of that range. For a typical 300 square foot bed along a foundation or downspout run, plan on close to 2 cubic yards. Measure length by width for each bed and add them up before ordering so you are not short a yard mid project.

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 what actually makes this a permanent install instead of a five year project, so it is worth doing right the first time. Edging, whether steel or paver, keeps the rock from migrating into the lawn on Salisbury's flatter lots. A lot of customers pair a rock bed near the foundation with mulch further out where plants still need organic matter feeding the soil.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down, not after, and overlap seams by at least 6 inches. In Salisbury's sandy loam, skipping fabric means the rock slowly works itself into the soil over a season or two, and you end up topping off the bed sooner than you'd expect. Fabric is what turns this into the decade long, low maintenance install that makes bulk rock worth ordering in the first place.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock traps leaves instead of breaking them down, which matters more in Salisbury than in drier climates because deciduous trees are common on older lots here. Plan on blowing or raking beds clear each fall before the first frost, usually mid November, so leaf litter does not mat down and smother the rock's drainage over winter.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If your project runs along a downspout or a low spot that floods after storms, go with a slightly larger stone size in that section and keep the finer screened rock for the visible front beds. It costs about the same by the yard, but it keeps the runoff areas from channeling and displacing smaller stone every time it rains hard.

Decorative Stone in Salisbury

Salisbury's sandy loam drains fast, which is good news for rock because it will not sit in standing water or shift the way it would in heavy clay. With zone 7b winters and a first frost around November 17, freeze thaw cycling is moderate here, so a properly bedded rock installation stays put for years rather than heaving. The flat terrain near Eisenhower Park means a lot of yards deal with runoff along downspouts and low spots, and rock handles that better than mulch since it will not float away in a downpour. It is a common choice for the low maintenance front yard look that fits a lot of the older Salisbury lot layouts.

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 in Salisbury's soil without extra prep?

Yes, sandy loam drains well enough that rock does not need special base work beyond fabric and a leveled bed. The main thing to avoid is laying rock directly over bare soil, since it will settle in over a season. Fabric first keeps the install clean and permanent instead of something you're redoing in a year or two.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a 400 square foot bed?

At a 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 400 square foot bed needs roughly 2.5 cubic yards. If you want a fuller 3 inch depth for better weed suppression, plan closer to 3.5 yards. Rounding up slightly is smarter than running short mid install.

Answer

What time of year should I install landscape rock here?

Anytime between last frost in April and first frost in November works, since rock does not depend on planting season the way mulch or soil amendments do. A lot of Salisbury customers install in early fall once summer heat breaks, since it is more comfortable to spread fabric and rock without dealing with midsummer humidity.

Answer

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

The load gets dumped at a spot you choose, typically a driveway or curb area with clear truck access. Delivery day and time get scheduled at checkout once your order is placed. Have that spot cleared ahead of time since a cubic yard of rock is not something you want to relocate by hand.

Answer

Should I use rock or mulch around my foundation plantings?

Rock works well right against the foundation itself since it does not hold moisture against siding, but plants that want organic matter and steady soil feeding do better with mulch nearby. A common approach in Salisbury yards is rock in the first foot or two out from the house, transitioning to mulch where the actual plantings are.
