About this landscape rock

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

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 groundcover applications. If you want a deeper 3 inch layer for heavier foot traffic or better weed suppression, plan on roughly 108 square feet per yard instead. Measure your bed length and width first, then match it to the depth you want before ordering.

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.

First time going with this company for mulch and it was an efficient process from start to finish. Website was easy—I told them exactly where I wanted the mulch put on my driveway, and it was delivered perfectly when I got home from work the next day. Best deal around when I compared it to competitors and I will definitely be becoming back.

Landscape fabric underneath is what makes rock a decade-long install instead of a weed patch, so it is worth doing right the first time. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the rock from migrating into the lawn, especially useful in Waco where clay soil shifts and can push borders around. Some customers also order a bit of mulch for planting pockets within the rock bed, since plants that want organic matter will struggle in straight stone.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Blackland Clay expands and contracts more than people expect, and it will eventually push thin fabric up at the seams if you skimp on overlap. Overlap fabric strips by at least 6 inches and pin every 18 inches, especially along bed edges that see afternoon sun. This one step is the difference between rock that stays flat for ten years and rock that starts showing black fabric within two summers.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock traps leaves and pecan husks instead of breaking them down, which is a bigger issue in Waco neighborhoods with mature oak and pecan trees than people realize going in. Plan to blow or rake beds clean each fall before leaf drop peaks, ideally before the first frost around November 15. Skipping this turns a clean rock bed into a compost layer sitting on top of your stone within a couple of seasons.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock is a one-time material cost but a permanent one, so it pays to get the depth right on the first delivery rather than ordering a top-off later. Pair it with mulch only in planting pockets where you actually want organic matter, since straight rock against foundation lines and downspouts holds up better with zero maintenance than mixed beds do over the long run in this climate.

Decorative Stone in Waco

Waco sits on Blackland Clay, a soil that swells when wet and cracks hard when dry, which makes organic mulch beds a constant battle against erosion and soil movement. Landscape rock does not care. It sits on top of fabric and stays put through the clay's expansion cycles, through Waco's hot summers, and through the occasional gully washer off the Brazos. It is a strong pick for foundation lines, downspout aprons, and low beds where you do not want to fight the clay 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

Will landscape rock work with Waco's clay soil or will it sink over time?

It works well as long as fabric is installed first. The fabric barrier stops rock from working its way down into the clay as the soil expands and contracts through wet and dry cycles. Without fabric, you will see rock slowly disappear into the clay over a year or two, especially in low spots that hold water after storms.

Answer

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

At the standard 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 200 square foot bed needs a little over 1.2 cubic yards. Most people round up to 1.5 yards to account for uneven grading and edge loss, and it is cheaper to have a little extra on hand than to reorder a small top-off later.

Answer

When is the best time to install landscape rock in Waco?

Late fall through early spring, roughly between the first frost on November 15 and the last frost on March 13, is easiest since the ground is cooler and drier for laying fabric. Summer installs work fine too, but Waco heat makes the physical work harder and clay soil can be rock hard for digging edging trenches.

Answer

Where will the truck place the rock and do I need to prep anything?

The load is dropped at the driveway or curb spot you specify during checkout, so make sure that area is clear and accessible for a dump truck. If your access is tight or on a slope, mention it ahead of time so the delivery can be placed where it is actually usable for your project.

Answer

Should I use landscape rock or mulch for my front bed?

Rock is the better call for foundation lines, downspout areas, and beds where you want a permanent, low-maintenance look, since it is a one-time install rather than an annual refresh. Mulch is better where you have plants that benefit from organic matter breaking down into the soil. Many Waco yards use both, rock near the house and mulch around planting beds further out.
