At the standard 2 inch install depth, one cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet, so a typical 300 square foot bed runs close to 2 cubic yards. If you want the fuller 3 inch depth that holds up better under Savannah's downpours, plan on roughly 25 percent more material. Measure your bed's length and width first, then we'll help you land on a whole yard number.

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.

One of the easiest customer service experiences I've had in a long time! Mulch Mound made it so simple. After putting it off for a while, I looked at the weather and knew I needed to get to mulching ASAP before the rain came if I didn't want to wait another week. I put my order in for the next day online and they came right at 9 AM. The employee who dropped off the mulch did a great job, putting it right on the tarp I laid out, she even made sure none of it got on the yard and double checked the truck bed to make sure it all came out. The mulch was exactly what I needed and arrived right on time.

We have always spread our own mulch for the past 24 years. This was our first time with the Mulch Mound - things I liked: they have online ordering and provide a digital receipt which means you can remember how much you ordered (I always forget for the next year!), they were on time, they were able to deliver in 48 hours, they were generous with the portion (we got 9 yards and it felt like a FULL nine yards!), the driver was polite! We have ordered from reputable places, and there is always a little trash in the mulch. The mulch we recv'd from Mulch Mound had barely any... we were pleasant surprised!!! Color was great! Not to mention - the price was competitive and LOWER than other mulch places around. We will use again !! Highly recommend! Thanks Mulch Mound!

Landscaping fabric goes down first if you want the rock to actually stay a decade-long solution instead of sinking into Savannah's sandy topsoil. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the stone from migrating into the lawn during heavy summer rain. Some customers pair rock beds with mulch in planting islands, using rock for the foundation line and mulch where they actually want shrubs and perennials to feed.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

In Savannah's sandy soil, skip the shortcut of laying fabric straight on loose dirt. Tamp the area first or you'll get soft spots where the rock settles unevenly within a year. A thin compacted base, even just walked over a few times with a plate or hand tamper, keeps the fabric flat and the rock layer even long after installation, which matters since this is meant to be a one time job.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake with rock beds here is forgetting about the live oak canopy. Unlike mulch, rock won't absorb falling leaves and acorns into the soil, it just holds them on the surface. Plan on blowing or raking beds a few times through fall and winter, especially near mature trees, or the bed will look neglected within a season even though the rock itself never breaks down.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Buying in bulk cubic yards instead of bagged stone cuts cost per square foot significantly once you're covering more than a small border. It also pairs well with steel edging bought in the same trip, since keeping rock contained means you never have to buy replacement material for washout, which is common during Savannah's summer thunderstorm season.

Decorative Stone in Savannah

Savannah's sandy soil drains fast, which is good for rock beds since water doesn't pool and shift the stone over time. The catch is that sandy soil also means fabric barriers can settle unevenly if the base isn't tamped first, so prep matters more here than in clay-heavy regions. With a Zone 9a growing season that barely pauses, leaf and pine straw litter falls nearly year round from the oak canopy, and rock will trap it on top rather than let it break down into the soil like mulch does. It's a strong choice for the low-maintenance, foundation-line look common in Savannah's historic and coastal neighborhoods.

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 wash out during Savannah's summer storms?

Properly edged rock beds hold up well even in heavy downpours since Savannah's sandy soil drains quickly and doesn't create the runoff channels that clay soil does. The main risk is beds without edging on a slope, where stone can migrate toward the lower side over several storm seasons. Steel or aluminum edging solves this for good.

Answer

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

At the standard 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 400 square foot bed needs close to 2.5 cubic yards. Round up to 3 for a cleaner number and a slightly deeper, more durable layer, especially if you're covering ground near downspouts.

Answer

What time of year is best to install landscape rock in Savannah?

Late fall through early spring, roughly November through March, is ideal since it's before the region's heavy growing season kicks in and before summer humidity makes fabric and stone work miserable. It also gets the bed settled before spring rains test the edging and base prep.

Answer

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

The load is placed in your driveway or another accessible spot you specify at checkout, delivery day and time are scheduled there rather than promised in advance. Make sure there's a clear path for a delivery truck, especially on narrower Savannah lots near live oaks or low branches.

Answer

Should I use landscape rock or mulch around my foundation?

Rock is the better call around foundations and downspouts since it won't break down, won't need replacing, and handles the sandy soil drainage well. Mulch is still the better choice anywhere you want organic matter feeding the soil, like planting beds with shrubs or perennials, since rock traps leaf litter instead of enriching the ground beneath it.
