About this landscape rock

Smooth tumbled river rock, heavy enough to stay put in drainage runs and handsome enough for beds and borders.

Easy to order, great service, and great product. We enjoy the final look of a very neglected beds we inherited!

Landscape rock covers about 162 square feet per cubic yard at a 2 inch depth, or a bit less if you go to 3 inches which we recommend for high traffic areas or heavier clay soil like ours. Measure the bed length by width, divide by 162, and round up since rock settles into low spots over the first few weeks. Most Sheboygan front yard beds run between 2 and 5 cubic yards depending on how much lawn is being converted.

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.

Landscape fabric underneath is what turns this from a five year fix into a decade long groundcover, so it is worth doing before the rock goes down. Edging keeps the stone from migrating into the lawn during freeze thaw heave, and a few bags of steel edging or paver border handle that well. If you are working around foundation plantings, keep a strip of mulch closer to the stems since rock does not feed the soil the way organic material does.

Areas we deliver landscape rock in Sheboygan, Wisconsin

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

In Sheboygan's clay loam, skip the shortcut of dumping rock straight on bare soil. Lay landscape fabric first, since clay holds moisture and without a barrier the stone sinks and disappears into mud within two seasons. Pin the fabric edges before spreading rock so wind off the lake does not lift it while you work. This single step is the difference between a groundcover that lasts one summer and one that lasts ten years.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake we see locally is spreading rock too thin near downspouts, where heavy spring runoff needs the full 3 inch depth to resist channeling. Thin spots wash out fast and expose the fabric underneath. Check depth with a tape measure in a few spots after spreading, not just by eye, since rock compacts and looks deeper than it is until you walk on it.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock pairs well with a narrower mulch strip right against foundation plantings, since stone does not break down into organic matter the way bark does and plants that want richer soil will struggle if surrounded entirely by stone. Ordering the full amount in one cubic yard delivery instead of bag by bag also saves several trips to the store and gets you a consistent color lot instead of mismatched bags.

Decorative Stone in Sheboygan

Sheboygan's clay loam drains slowly, so beds near the house or along the driveway tend to stay soggy into May, and rock keeps that mud from splashing onto siding or tracking into the garage. With our last frost landing around May 6 and first frost by October 20, the freeze thaw cycle heaves loose gravel if it is not set on fabric, so a proper base matters here more than in milder climates. Rock also holds up well near Lake Michigan wind gusts that scatter loose mulch across a yard. It is a common choice for foundation beds and downspout aprons where organic mulch just breaks down and washes 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

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

Will landscape rock sink into my clay soil over time?

It can if installed directly on bare ground, since Sheboygan's clay loam holds moisture and softens under weight. Landscape fabric between the soil and rock solves this by keeping the stone riding on top instead of working its way down. With fabric in place, most installs stay put for a decade with no resettling needed.

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 a bit more than 1.2 cubic yards. We would round that up to 1.5 yards to account for uneven grading and settling, especially in clay loam soil where low spots are common.

Answer

Is spring or fall a better time to install rock in Sheboygan?

Either works since rock is not weather sensitive to install, but many people do it after last frost in May once the ground has dried out from spring thaw, which makes digging and grading easier. Fall after the first frost around October 20 also works well since the ground is firm but not yet frozen.

Answer

Can your truck get down a narrow driveway to drop the load?

Most Sheboygan driveways handle a standard delivery truck fine, but let us know at checkout if you have a narrow access point, low hanging trees, or a shared driveway. We place the load as close to your project area as the truck can safely reach, and you handle the final wheelbarrow distance from there.

Answer

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

Rock is the better call right against the foundation since it does not hold moisture against siding the way mulch can, and it will not need replacing every year or two. Mulch works better further out where you have plants that benefit from organic matter breaking down into the clay loam soil over time.
