One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, or somewhat less if you go to 3 inches for better weed suppression. Measure the length and width of your bed, multiply for square footage, then use that 162 figure as your baseline before adjusting for depth. Most Steubenville front beds and foundation strips run one to three cubic yards depending on how much of the house you are wrapping.

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.

We have always spread our own mulch for the past 24 years. This was our first time with the Mulch Mound - things I liked: they have online ordering and provide a digital receipt which means you can remember how much you ordered (I always forget for the next year!), they were on time, they were able to deliver in 48 hours, they were generous with the portion (we got 9 yards and it felt like a FULL nine yards!), the driver was polite! We have ordered from reputable places, and there is always a little trash in the mulch. The mulch we recv'd from Mulch Mound had barely any... we were pleasant surprised!!! Color was great! Not to mention - the price was competitive and LOWER than other mulch places around. We will use again !! Highly recommend! Thanks Mulch Mound!

Landscaping fabric underneath is what turns this into the decade-long install it is meant to be, keeping the stone from sinking into that silt loam over time. Edging material helps keep rock out of the lawn, especially on sloped yards. Some customers also order a smaller load of mulch for planting beds that need organic matter, since rock and mulch often work side by side on the same property.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

On Steubenville's silt loam, do not skip the fabric barrier. Rock laid straight onto silt loam will slowly work its way into the soil over a few seasons as the ground swells and contracts through freeze-thaw, and you will end up with rock mixed into mud instead of a clean surface. Fabric first, then rock, keeps the install looking sharp for years instead of one or two seasons.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake we see locally is putting rock right up against homes with heavy tree cover, then never blowing out the leaves that collect in it every fall. Rock does not compost leaves the way mulch does, so debris just sits on top and traps moisture against siding. Plan on a leaf blower pass each November before frost, especially with the maple-heavy tree lines around older Steubenville neighborhoods.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you are covering a large foundation run, consider mixing rock with a mulched planting bed rather than rock everywhere. Beds where you actually want shrubs or perennials to thrive do better with organic mulch feeding the soil, while rock is better reserved for high-traffic edges, downspout zones, and areas close to the house where you want a permanent, low-fuss surface.

Decorative Stone in Steubenville

Steubenville's silt loam soil holds water and can stay soft through spring thaw, which makes rock a smart choice around downspouts and low spots where mulch would just wash out or compact into mud. With a last frost around April 20 and first frost around October 23, there is a decent window to install before winter sets in, but rock does not care about timing the way plants do since it is not going into the ground to grow. On the hillside lots common around this city, rock over fabric also resists sliding and erosion better than loose organic mulch. It is a good match for the low-maintenance, foundation-focused beds a lot of homes here favor.

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 something you refresh yearly like mulch. With fabric underneath, most Steubenville customers get a decade or more before the rock needs topping off or replacing, mainly due to settling or a small amount lost to yard work over the years.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a 200 square foot bed?

At a standard 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 200 square foot bed needs a bit more than one and a quarter yards. Most people round up to one and a half yards to account for uneven ground and slightly deeper coverage near edges.

Answer

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

Rock can go down anytime the ground is not frozen, but many Steubenville homeowners aim to finish before the October 23 first frost so the fabric and edging settle in before winter freeze-thaw cycles begin. Installing in fall or spring both work fine since rock does not depend on a growing season.

Answer

Can the delivery truck get up my driveway if it is steep or narrow?

Our drivers place loads as close to your project as the driveway or street access allows, which matters on some of Steubenville's steeper hillside lots. Let us know about tight turns or steep grades when you schedule so we can plan the drop spot that keeps the truck safe and your yard undamaged.

Answer

Should I choose rock or mulch for the beds around my house?

Rock makes sense for foundation lines, downspout areas, and spots where you want a permanent, low-maintenance surface, since it does not break down or need annual replacement. Mulch is better where you have shrubs or perennials that benefit from organic matter feeding the soil. Many Steubenville properties use both, rock near the house and mulch further out in planting beds.
