One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, which is the standard install for most beds and groundcover areas. Go to 3 inches in spots that get heavy foot traffic or runoff, like under downspouts, and figure closer to 108 square feet per yard. Measure your bed square footage first, then divide by the coverage number for your chosen depth to land on a yard count.

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.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Landscape fabric goes down first if you want this to actually last a decade without turning into a weed bed. A steel or aluminum edging strip keeps the rock from migrating into the lawn when Spring Hill gets its summer thunderstorm runoff. Some customers pair a rock border with mulch in the planting beds themselves, since rock alone starves plants that want organic matter.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

In Spring Hill's sandy soil, skip loose rock directly on grade if the bed sits near a downspout or low spot. Lay landscape fabric first, then rock, so the fabric bridges over sand instead of letting rock work its way down and disappear into the ground over a couple of seasons. This is the single biggest reason rock beds look thin two years after install here.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock traps oak and laurel leaves instead of breaking them down like mulch does. Plan on blowing or raking rock beds out at least twice a year, especially before hurricane season winds start dropping debris, or the bed will look gray and dirty year round instead of clean.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order slightly more than your calculated yardage if your project includes curves or irregular bed edges, since straight math undercounts real coverage on curved lines. It is cheaper to have a little extra on hand than to schedule a second small delivery for a partial yard.

Decorative Stone in Spring Hill

Spring Hill sits on sandy, fast draining ground, which means rock does not sink or shift the way it might in clay soil further north. That drainage is an asset around foundations and downspouts, since water moves through fast and the rock never holds a soggy pocket against your slab. With zone 9b heat most of the year, homeowners here lean toward low-maintenance beds instead of mulch that bakes out and needs replacing every season. Rock also holds up better near Weeki Wachee area landscaping where irrigation runoff and sandy grading are common.

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 the sandy soil here over time?

It can, especially without a barrier. Sandy soil in Spring Hill drains fast, but that same looseness lets rock settle and work downward if there is no landscape fabric underneath. Installing fabric first keeps the rock layer sitting on top where it belongs, rather than slowly disappearing into the ground over a couple of years.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a 300 square foot bed?

At the standard 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 300 square foot bed needs just under 2 cubic yards. Round up to 2 yards to cover edges and any low spots. Going to 3 inches deep instead would push that closer to 2.75 yards.

Answer

When is the best time to install rock in Spring Hill?

Anytime works since this is a one time install, not a seasonal refresh, but many homeowners prefer to lay it before the summer rainy season hits so fabric and edging are set before heavy runoff starts. Installing in the drier months between the last frost and early summer also makes grading easier.

Answer

Where will the truck place the rock on delivery day?

The driver places the load at a spot you specify, typically a driveway or curb area near your project. Make sure there is clear truck access, since a full load is heavy, and have a tarp or plywood down if you want to protect a paved surface.

Answer

Should I use rock or mulch for beds near my house foundation?

Rock works better against foundations since it does not hold moisture against the slab and lasts far longer without needing replacement. Mulch is the better call for planting beds where you want organic matter feeding the soil. Many Spring Hill yards use rock as a foundation border and mulch in the beds further out.
