About this landscape rock

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

Easy to order, great service, and great product. We enjoy the final look of a very neglected beds we inherited!

At a standard 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard covers roughly 162 square feet at the shallow end of that range. Measure your bed's square footage first, then order by the yard rather than by the bag, since bagged rock gets expensive fast on anything bigger than a small border. Most front yard beds in Terryville run 2 to 5 cubic yards depending on how much of the lawn is being converted.

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.

Landscape fabric underneath is what makes rock a one time install instead of a weed patch by August, so plan on laying that first. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the stone from migrating into the lawn, especially useful where beds border mowed grass. Some customers also order a bit of topsoil for planting pockets within the rock if they want occasional shrubs or perennials mixed in.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down, not after, and overlap seams by at least six inches. In sandy loam like Terryville's, skipping fabric means the rock will slowly work itself into the soil over a couple seasons and you will be topping it off sooner than expected. Fabric is what turns this into the decade long install it is supposed to be instead of a yearly chore.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock traps fallen leaves instead of breaking them down like mulch does, so beds near mature trees need a blower pass or two each fall before leaves mat down and rot in place. This is the most common complaint we hear from rock bed owners, and it is entirely avoidable with basic upkeep rather than a full redo.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If your beds run along a foundation, rock beats mulch on cost efficiency over time since you are not reordering every spring. But avoid it directly around plants that want organic matter working into the soil, shrubs and perennials do better with a mulch ring even if the rest of the bed is stone.

Decorative Stone in Terryville

Terryville's sandy loam drains fast, which is actually good news for rock beds since you will not get the standing water that causes stone to sink or shift over time. With winters cold enough to freeze the ground by late October and a frost season running into April, rock also holds up better than mulch against freeze thaw heaving near foundations. A lot of homes near Heritage Park use rock beds along the shaded north sides of houses where grass struggles anyway. It is a practical choice for anyone tired of redoing beds every spring.

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

Is landscape rock a good choice for foundation beds in Terryville?

Yes, it holds up well against our freeze thaw cycles and does not need annual replacement like mulch does. It also sheds water away from the foundation instead of holding moisture against it, which matters given how wet sandy loam can get in spring. Just make sure grading slopes away from the house before installing.

Answer

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

At a 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 account for uneven ground and edging loss. Going to 3 inches deep would push that closer to 2.75 yards.

Answer

When should I install landscape rock, does timing matter?

Anytime the ground is not frozen works, but many Terryville customers install in fall before the October 27 frost date so beds are finished before winter cleanup. Spring after the April thaw is the other common window, once the ground has firmed back up from mud season.

Answer

Can the delivery truck reach my backyard beds?

Trucks place material at the driveway or curb, they do not drive across lawns or through gates. For backyard beds, plan on wheelbarrowing the rock back, or have a path at least 3 feet wide cleared for a walk behind buggy if you are moving a larger volume.

Answer

Should I choose landscape rock or mulch for my beds?

Rock is a one time install that lasts many years, while mulch needs refreshing annually but feeds the soil as it breaks down. If you have plants that want organic matter, mulch is the better fit, but for foundation lines, downspout areas, or low maintenance groundcover, rock is the more permanent option.
