Landscape rock is sold by the cubic yard and runs about 1.35 tons per yard, so weight adds up fast on larger orders. At a standard 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers roughly 162 square feet, so a 300 square foot bed needs just under two yards. Measure length by width for each bed and add them together before ordering, rock is one of the few materials worth over ordering slightly since it is not a seasonal refresh.

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 yard is approximately 27 cubic feet. As a general guideline, one yard of material can cover an area of about 10 feet by 10 feet at a few inches deep.

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.

I recently ordered from mulch mound and was thoroughly impressed with every aspect of the experience. The entire process, from placing the order to delivery was seamless and efficient. The mulch arrived exactly on time, and the quality exceeded my expectations. The color was rich and consistent, and I received more than enough to complete my project with proper coverage and packing.

Customer service was equally outstanding. Communication was clear, and the team was responsive and professional throughout. It’s rare to find a company that delivers both a high-quality product and excellent service, but mulch mound did just that.

Highly recommended, and I wouldn’t hesitate to order from them again.

Most rock installs in Sandy Springs go down over landscape fabric to block red clay from working up through the stone over time. Edging, whether steel or paver, keeps rock from migrating into the lawn on sloped beds, which are common in this area. A load of topsoil or compost for the planting pockets themselves is worth ordering separately since rock does nothing for the soil underneath.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

In Sandy Springs, red clay compacts hard once it dries, so skip skipping the fabric step even on small beds. Lay landscape fabric directly on graded clay, overlap seams by a few inches, and pin it before spreading rock. Skipping fabric means clay works up through the stone within a season or two, especially in beds that stay damp near downspouts, and you will be pulling rock to fix it later rather than doing it right the first time.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake we see locally is using rock in beds with shrubs or perennials that need feeding. Rock traps falling leaves on top instead of letting them compost into the soil, and it blocks water and nutrients from reaching roots below. Reserve it for foundation lines, downspout aprons, and true groundcover zones, and keep mulch in beds with anything that needs to actually grow.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order rock and any edging or fabric together in one delivery trip since this is meant to be a one time install, not something you top off yearly like mulch. Pairing a slightly larger rock order with steel edging up front costs less in labor than coming back later to fix migration on the slopes common throughout this part of the city.

Decorative Stone in Sandy Springs

Sandy Springs sits on heavy red clay that drains slowly, so low spots near downspouts and foundation lines stay wet longer than the rest of the yard. Rock does not break down or wash out the way mulch does after the heavy spring storms this area gets before the Mar 29 last frost. Homeowners near the Chattahoochee River corridor often use it on slopes and shaded beds where grass struggles and organic mulch just feeds runoff into the creek system. Once it is down over fabric, it stays down for years with no spring refresh.

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

How long does landscape rock actually last once it is installed in Sandy Springs?

Properly installed over fabric, landscape rock lasts a decade or more without needing to be replaced or topped off. It does not break down like mulch, so the main upkeep is occasionally blowing out trapped leaves and topping up any spots where rock has migrated off a slope or been displaced by heavy rain.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a 250 square foot bed?

At the typical 2 inch install depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 250 square foot bed needs a little over 1.5 cubic yards. We recommend rounding up slightly since rock is a one time install and running short means a second delivery for a small top off.

Answer

Can I install landscape rock myself or should I have it done in fall before the first frost?

Installation is doable yourself with fabric, a rake, and a wheelbarrow, and timing is flexible since rock is not seasonal like mulch. Many homeowners here install in fall before the Nov 12 first frost so beds look finished through winter, but spring and summer work fine too as long as the clay isn't waterlogged.

Answer

Will the delivery truck be able to reach my backyard or driveway?

Trucks place material at the driveway or curb, they generally do not drive onto lawns or through gates. If your beds are in the backyard, plan on wheelbarrowing rock from the drop point, and let us know at checkout if access is tight so we can plan the drop location.

Answer

Should I use landscape rock or mulch around my foundation?

Rock is the better choice directly against foundations since it does not hold moisture against the house or need annual replacement. Mulch is better for planting beds where you want organic matter feeding the soil. Many Sandy Springs yards use rock along the foundation and downspout aprons, then switch to mulch further out where shrubs and perennials are planted.
