This rock covers about 162 square feet per cubic yard at a 2 inch depth, or a bit less if you go to 3 inches for better weed suppression and long term settling room. Measure your bed's length and width, multiply for square footage, then divide by 162 to get a rough cubic yard count at 2 inches. Round up slightly since edges and depth always eat more material than the flat math suggests.

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.

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.

I couldn't be happier with the speed and quality of the mulch delivery service of Mulch Mound. Every detail from ordering, to communication with on time delivery, to perfect product placement was amazing. I needed more and I got it within 2 hours! I'm never doing this with bags again.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Landscape fabric underneath is what makes this a decade-long install instead of a five year one, so lay it before the rock goes down. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the rock from migrating into lawn or gravel driveways over time. If any part of the bed still holds plants that want organic matter, keep a separate mulched zone rather than mixing rock and bark in the same run.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

South Hill's gravelly sandy loam already drains fast, which means rock beds here rarely need a drainage layer underneath, fabric alone usually does the job. Where people go wrong is skipping fabric entirely to save a step, then fighting weeds pushing up through gravelly native soil within a year. Lay fabric, overlap seams by several inches, and pin it before any rock goes down, that single step is what turns this into a true one time install instead of a recurring headache.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest maintenance mistake with rock in this area is planting it under deciduous trees or near maple canopy without a plan for leaf drop. Rock traps leaf litter instead of breaking it down the way bark does, and by the second wet fall you're pulling wet leaves out of the stone by hand. If your bed sits under trees, plan on a leaf blower pass every few weeks through October and November rather than letting debris compact into the rock.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Buying rock in bulk cubic yards instead of bagged material matters most on larger foundation runs or front yard groundcover projects, where bags add up fast in both cost and trips. Pair a bulk rock order with a smaller bark or compost delivery if part of your yard still needs planting beds, that way you're not paying two separate delivery trips for two materials that could arrive the same day.

Decorative Stone in South Hill

South Hill's gravelly sandy loam already drains well, so rock does not fight standing water the way it might in heavier clay soils closer to the Sound. That makes it a strong match for the downspout zones and foundation perimeters common on the split-level and rambler lots around Thun Field. With wet Pacific Northwest winters running November through March, rock beds keep soil off siding and walkways without washing out or compacting like bark can. It is a one time install here, not a spring project you redo every year.

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

Does landscape rock work well with South Hill's soil and rain?

Yes, gravelly sandy loam already drains quickly, so rock beds here rarely pond or shift the way they might on heavier clay soil. With fabric underneath, rock handles our wet November through March stretch without settling or channeling, making it a solid long term choice for foundation beds and downspout areas.

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 little over 1.2 cubic yards. Round up to 1.5 yards to account for uneven ground and edges, or go to 2 yards if you're installing at 3 inches for better long term coverage.

Answer

When is the best time to install rock before winter hits?

Late summer through early fall works well here, ideally before South Hill's first frost around November 5, so the ground is dry and workable when you lay fabric and set the rock. Installing before winter rain starts also means the bed settles into place before it's dealing with saturated soil underneath.

Answer

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

We place the load in your driveway or another clear access point you specify when you check out. Let us know if your access is tight, since a full cubic yard load of rock is heavy and needs solid, flat ground that can take a dump truck's weight without damaging pavement or lawn.

Answer

Should I choose rock or bark mulch for a South Hill front yard?

Rock makes sense for foundation lines, downspout zones, and beds you don't want to redo yearly, since it's a one time install rather than an annual refresh. Bark is better where you have plants wanting organic matter feeding the soil. Many South Hill yards use both, rock near the house and bark in planted beds further out.
