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 covers about 162 square feet at the standard 2 inch install depth, or a bit less if you go closer to 3 inches for better weed suppression. Measure your bed's length and width, multiply for square footage, then divide by 162 to get a rough cubic yard count. Round up slightly, rock settles a bit once it is walked on and rained on.

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 goes down first if you want this to be a true one time install rather than a rock and weed situation in two years. Edging, whether steel or paver, keeps rock from migrating into the lawn during heavy rain, which matters in a sandy soil town like this. Some customers also order a smaller load of mulch for planting beds nearby, keeping rock for the low maintenance zones and organic material where plants actually need it.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscape fabric before the rock, not after, and overlap seams by a few inches. In sandy soil like Titusville's, skipping the fabric means the rock slowly sinks and mixes with the sand underneath within a couple of seasons, which defeats the whole point of a one time install. Pin the fabric edges down before dumping rock on top so wind off the coast does not lift it during placement.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock traps leaves and pine needles instead of breaking them down like mulch does, so plan on blowing or raking debris out a few times a year, especially under oak canopy. Skipping this turns a clean rock bed into a compost layer that grows weeds right on top of the fabric, which is the most common complaint we hear from rock customers a year or two in.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order the full cubic yard count in one delivery rather than splitting into smaller loads. Rock color can vary slightly between batches at the quarry, and matching a top off order months later is hit or miss. One yard covers 162 square feet at 2 inches, so measure carefully up front and add a small buffer rather than risk a visible seam of mismatched stone later.

Decorative Stone in Titusville

Titusville sits at 7 feet of elevation with sandy soil that drains fast and offers little resistance to erosion during summer downpours, so a settled layer of rock stays put where mulch or loose gravel migrates toward the storm drain. With growing zone 10a pushing near year round plant growth, rock beds around foundations and downspouts give homeowners here a spot that never needs weeding or replanting. It is common to see rock used along the base of block homes near Kennedy Space Center's flight paths, where low maintenance ground cover matters more than curb appeal alone. The tradeoff is it will not feed the sandy soil the way organic mulch does, so keep it away from beds with heavy feeders.

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 hold up in Titusville's sandy soil and summer rain?

Yes, once it is installed over fabric it stays put far better than loose mulch does in sandy soil, since it is heavier and does not float or wash the way lighter organic material can during heavy downpours. The fabric barrier is what keeps it from sinking into the sand over time, so do not skip that step.

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 full yards to account for settling and uneven ground, better to have a little extra than to run short mid project.

Answer

What time of year is best to install rock in Titusville?

Anytime works since rock installation is not weather dependent the way planting is, but many people schedule it outside the peak of summer storm season for easier fabric placement and drier ground to work with. With a growing zone of 10a and mild winters, there is no frost window to plan around.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck place the rock in my yard?

The driver drops the load at your driveway or another accessible spot you specify at checkout. Since rock is dense and heavy, plan for it to land as close to the install area as the truck can reach, moving a full cubic yard by wheelbarrow across a long yard adds real time to your project.

Answer

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

Rock makes sense for foundations, downspouts, and low maintenance areas where you want a one time install that will not need annual refreshing. Mulch is better where plants benefit from organic matter breaking down into the sandy soil here. Many yards use both, rock in the utility zones and mulch in the planting beds.
