About this landscape rock

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

Online ordering was really simple and I liked the transparent pricing.

One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, which is the standard install depth for most bed and border work. If you want the fuller 3 inch depth for heavier foot traffic or drainage areas, plan closer to 108 square feet per yard. Measure your bed square footage first, then work backward from there before you order.

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

Most rock installs here go down over landscape fabric, so budget for that separately if you don't already have it on hand. Edging, whether steel or paver, keeps the stone from migrating into the lawn during mowing season. A lot of Statesboro customers pair a rock border with mulch in the deeper planting beds nearby, using rock only where nothing needs to be fed.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down, not after, and overlap the seams by at least 6 inches. In Statesboro's sandy loam, skipping fabric means the rock slowly works its way into the soil over a couple of seasons and you end up weeding rock out of dirt instead of the other way around. Pin the fabric edges under the border material so wind and rain don't lift them before the stone covers it.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake we see locally is putting rock in beds under big oaks or pecans expecting it to stay clean. It won't, leaf drop from October through December will bury a rock bed and trap moisture underneath, which defeats the low-maintenance pitch. If your bed sits under heavy canopy, plan on a leaf blower pass every few weeks in fall or skip rock there entirely.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Because this is a one time install rather than an annual refresh like mulch, it pays to size the order slightly generous rather than short. Running out mid-project means a second delivery charge for what might be half a yard, and rock color batches can vary slightly between loads. Order for the full bed footprint up front, even the sections you plan to finish next weekend.

Decorative Stone in Statesboro

Statesboro's sandy loam sheds water quickly, so rock beds here rarely stay soggy the way they might in heavier clay soils, which makes rock a solid pick against foundations and along the downspout runs common on Boro lots. The tradeoff is leaf litter, and with the tree canopy around older neighborhoods near Georgia Southern, rock beds will need blowing out a few times a year or they'll look shaggy fast. This is not a plant bed material, it's a decade-long groundcover for the spots where you've decided nothing organic needs to grow. Zone 8b winters are mild enough that there's no frost heave to worry about once it's down.

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

Answer

How long does landscape rock actually last before I need to redo it?

Landscape rock is a one time install, not a seasonal refresh like mulch. With fabric underneath and occasional topping off for settling or leaf debris, a rock bed in Statesboro's climate can look good for a decade or more before it needs any real rework.

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 slightly to account for uneven ground or a deeper edge along the border, most people order 2 yards for that size bed.

Answer

Can I install rock myself or should I plan for extra time around the weather?

Rock installs go down fine any time of year in zone 8b since there's no frost to fight once it's in place. Plan for a dry weekend though, wet sandy loam gets heavy and messy to work with, and fabric lays flatter and pins better when the ground isn't soaked.

Answer

Where will the rock get dropped on delivery day, and do I need to be home?

We place the load in your driveway or another spot you specify when you order, whichever gives the truck clear access. Someone should be available to confirm placement, and it helps to have the drop zone cleared ahead of time since we deliver the pile, we don't move or spread it for you.

Answer

Is landscape rock better than mulch for beds around my house here in Statesboro?

It depends on the bed. Rock works well against foundations and around downspouts where you want permanent, low-maintenance coverage, but it never feeds the soil the way mulch does, so it's a poor choice near plants that benefit from organic matter breaking down. Many of our customers use both, rock near the house and mulch in planting beds further out.
