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.

At a 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard of landscape rock covers roughly 162 square feet at the shallow end of that range. Measure your bed's length and width, decide whether you want 2 inches for a lighter groundcover look or closer to 3 inches for better weed suppression, then order by the yard rather than guessing with bags. Most front bed refreshes in Tupelo run somewhere between 1 and 4 cubic yards depending on the size of the house and lot.

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 underneath is worth doing right the first time, since rock over fabric can hold up for a decade with minimal maintenance. Edging material helps keep rock contained and out of the lawn, especially useful on the sloped lots that show up around the hills near downtown Tupelo. If you have planting beds mixed into the same area, consider keeping mulch there instead, since rock does not feed the soil the way organic material does.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down, not after, and overlap the seams by at least six inches. In Tupelo's clay loam, skipping the fabric means the rock slowly works its way into the soil over a few wet seasons, and by year three you are pulling rock and mud together instead of just rock. The fabric is the difference between a decade-long install and a five year one.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake we see locally is installing rock right up against the house foundation without a gap. Water runs off the roof, hits the rock bed, and if there is no slight grade away from the foundation it sits there against the clay loam and slowly stresses your foundation drainage. Leave a slope away from the house, even a subtle one, before you spread the first scoop.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order the full amount in one delivery rather than splitting it across two trips, since rock from different batches can vary slightly in tone even within the same regional stone type. It also saves a second delivery charge. If you are pairing rock with mulch beds elsewhere on the property, plan both deliveries for the same day to make the most of one cleared driveway.

Decorative Stone in Tupelo

Tupelo's clay loam soil holds water after the heavy spring rains that come through before last frost in late March, and that means mulch beds against the house can stay damp longer than people expect. Landscape rock does not break down or wick moisture the way organic mulch does, so it holds up better in those low spots and around downspouts where water concentrates. It also does not need a seasonal refresh before the next growing cycle in zone 8a, which matters if you are trying to get a bed looking finished once and done. The tradeoff is it traps fallen leaves from the oaks and pines common in older Tupelo neighborhoods, so beds near mature trees need occasional blowing out.

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 in Tupelo before I need to redo it?

Unlike mulch, rock is not an annual refresh. Installed over fabric with proper drainage, it commonly holds up for a decade or more with just occasional leaf cleanup and the rare handful of new stone added around edges. That is the main reason people choose it over organic mulch for front beds they do not want to maintain every spring.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a typical front bed?

One cubic yard covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth. For a standard 200 square foot front bed at 2 to 3 inches deep, plan on roughly 1.5 to 2 cubic yards. Measure your actual bed and round up slightly, since rock is heavy and running short means scheduling another delivery.

Answer

When is the best time to install rock beds around here?

Late fall through early spring works well since Tupelo's growing season is quieter then and you are not fighting active plant growth or heavy leaf drop from the oaks. That said, since rock is a one time install rather than a seasonal task, you can really do it any time the ground is not saturated from recent rain.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck place the rock, and do I need to be home?

The load gets dropped at a spot you specify, usually the driveway or a curbside area with clear truck access, and you do not need to be present as long as the access point is clear and identified ahead of time. Make sure there is a path from the drop spot to your bed for wheelbarrow trips.

Answer

Should I use rock or mulch around my downspouts and foundation?

Rock tends to hold up better in those spots since it does not break down or hold moisture against the house the way organic mulch can over time, and Tupelo's clay loam already drains slowly. Just make sure there is a slight grade away from the foundation so water does not pool under the rock bed near the house.
