At a 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard of landscape rock covers roughly 162 square feet at the shallow end of that range. Measure your bed length by width, decide whether you want 2 inches for a lighter look or 3 inches for better weed suppression, then order in full cubic yards since this material is not sold by the bag at this volume. Most South Yarmouth front yard beds run 1 to 3 cubic yards.

Mulch Mound delivered a yard of pea gravel to us. Delivery was on time, driver was friendly and hit a bullseye on the “tarp target”. We used the pea gravel (which was diameter as specified) to fill several muskrat holes around our pond. I would definitely recommend Mulch Mound to a friend!
Landscape fabric underneath is what makes rock a decade-long install instead of a weed patch by next summer, so budget for it if you have not already got it down. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the stone from migrating into the lawn, especially useful in loose sandy soil that does not hold a hand-cut edge. If you are running rock near planting beds instead of foundations, keep a mulch or compost zone separate since rock will not feed those plants.
Service area
Because South Yarmouth soil is sandy outwash, rock beds without fabric will slowly sink into the ground over a couple seasons as the stone works its way down through loose soil. Lay landscape fabric first, overlap seams by at least 6 inches, and pin it every 2 feet. This keeps your rock sitting on top where it belongs instead of disappearing into the sand, and it is the single biggest factor in whether a rock bed still looks sharp in year five.
The most common mistake with rock beds near Bass River properties is piling it right against downspout discharge points without a splash pad or larger stone buffer underneath. Fine decorative rock gets displaced fast by concentrated runoff, leaving bare fabric exposed within a season. Use a coarser stone or a dry well right at the discharge point, then transition to your finer decorative rock further out where the water has already dispersed.
Rock and mulch pair well on the same property even though they do not mix in the same bed, use rock for foundation lines and drainage-heavy spots, and reserve mulch for planting beds where soil health actually matters. Ordering both in the same delivery window saves a second trip charge and lets you finish the whole yard in one weekend instead of stretching the project across separate deliveries.
South Yarmouth sits on sandy outwash, so water already moves through the ground quickly, and rock beds here do not hold moisture the way a clay soil would elsewhere. That makes rock a solid match for foundation borders and downspout aprons near Bass River where you want water to shed, not pool. The tradeoff is that this sandy base gives rock little to lock into, so a fabric barrier underneath matters more here than in heavier soils. Zone 7a winters are mild enough that freeze thaw heaving is a minor concern compared to colder inland zones.
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 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.
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.
