How Much Landscape Rock Do I Need?
How Much Landscape Rock Do I Need?
One cubic yard covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, which is the standard install for decorative rock beds. If you want a slightly heavier 3 inch depth for better weed suppression, figure closer to 108 square feet per yard. Measure your bed's length and width first, then decide on depth based on whether it is a foundation border or a wide open groundcover area.

We needed mulch for our HOA common areas. Local providers were all holding high prices even for 40 yards of mulch. Mulch mound was easy to wowith & has great price for natural mulch + delivery schedule options. They called before delivery to ensure Delivery was exactly where we wanted it.
Complete Your Outdoor Project
Landscape fabric underneath is what makes rock a decade long install instead of a weed patch, so plan on laying it before delivery. Many South Farmingdale customers pair rock borders with mulch in the planting beds themselves, keeping rock for the foundation line and walkways where organic matter is not wanted. Edging material also helps keep the stone from migrating into the lawn over time.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down, not after, and overlap the seams by at least six inches. In South Farmingdale's sandy loam, skipping fabric means the rock slowly sinks into the soil over a season or two, and then weeds root right through from underneath. Done right, that fabric layer is what turns a one time delivery into a groundcover that holds for a decade without regrading.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Rock traps fallen leaves instead of breaking them down like mulch does, which matters here given the tree cover around older South Farmingdale lots. Plan on blowing or raking leaves out of rock beds each fall before your first frost, usually mid November, so they do not mat down and rot in place over winter, staining the stone and feeding weed seeds.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Rock costs more upfront than mulch per yard but you are not reordering it every spring, so total cost over five or six years often comes out lower. Consider using rock for the high visibility foundation strip and walkway borders while keeping mulch in the actual planting beds where soil around perennials still needs organic matter. That split gets you permanence where it counts and nutrients where it counts.
Decorative Stone in South Farmingdale
South Farmingdale's sandy loam already drains quickly, so rock beds here do not fight standing water the way clay soils do elsewhere on Long Island. That makes rock a strong choice around foundations and downspouts where you want water moving away from the house, not pooling in mulch. With zone 7b winters bringing frost by mid November, organic mulch breaks down and needs topping off every year, but rock stone sits through freeze and thaw without shifting or rotting. A lot of homeowners near Ellsworth W. Allen Town Park use it for that low upkeep front bed that never seems to need attention.
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.
