About this landscape rock

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

I recently ordered from mulch mound and was thoroughly impressed with every aspect of the experience. The entire process, from placing the order to delivery was seamless and efficient. The mulch arrived exactly on time, and the quality exceeded my expectations. The color was r...

At a 2 inch install depth, one cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet, so a typical 300 square foot front bed runs close to 2 cubic yards. Going to 3 inches for better weed suppression drops coverage to around 108 square feet per yard, so size up accordingly. Measure the bed in square feet first, then match it against 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.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Most Warner Robins jobs pair landscape rock with edging to keep it out of the lawn and off red clay that wants to migrate stone into the grass line. Landscape fabric underneath is worth doing right the first time, since this is meant to be a one-time install, not something you pull up next year. A few cubic yards of soil or mulch nearby handles any planting pockets left inside the rock bed.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Warner Robins clay does not drain fast, so grade the bed slightly away from the house before laying fabric under your rock. If water pools under the fabric it will eventually push stone and sediment up through low spots, and you will be re-leveling a bed that was supposed to be permanent. A few inches of fall toward the yard solves this before the truck even arrives.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake locally is skipping fabric to save a step, then fighting Bermuda grass through the rock within a year. Zone 8b's long growing season means grass roots push through bare gaps fast. Lay commercial-grade fabric, overlap seams by several inches, and pin it well, since this is the one part of the job that determines whether the install actually lasts a decade instead of three seasons.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you have both rock beds and mulch beds on the same property, order them together for one delivery instead of two. Rock stays where you put it for years, so there is no reason to split trips, and consolidating the order into one cubic yard delivery is simpler to schedule than staggering separate loads for each material.

Decorative Stone in Warner Robins

Warner Robins sits on heavy red clay that drains slowly and turns to soup after a hard rain, which makes organic mulches slump and compact faster than they should. Rock does not care. Laid over fabric it sheds water instead of holding it against clay that is already saturated half the year. It suits the low-maintenance front beds and foundation lines common in this city's newer subdivisions near Robins Air Force Base, and it holds up through zone 8b's long, humid growing season without breaking down. The tradeoff is it traps oak and pecan leaves in fall, 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

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

Will landscape rock sink into our clay soil over time?

Not if it is installed over fabric. The fabric keeps the stone separated from the clay underneath, so it stays on the surface instead of working its way down into wet soil. Skipping the fabric is when rock starts disappearing into red clay after a few rainy seasons.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a 400 square foot bed?

At a 2 inch depth, one yard covers about 162 square feet, so 400 square feet needs roughly 2.5 cubic yards. At 3 inches for heavier coverage, plan on close to 3.7 cubic yards. Always round up slightly since edges and uneven ground use a bit more than flat math suggests.

Answer

Is there a bad time of year to install rock here?

Late fall works fine since rock is not seasonal like mulch, but if you install right before oak and pecan leaves drop, expect to blow the bed out once trees are bare. Many Warner Robins customers wait until after the first frost around mid-November so leaf drop is mostly done before the rock goes down.

Answer

Can the truck get into a tight suburban driveway?

Most Warner Robins driveways handle delivery without issue, but let us know at checkout if you have a narrow gate, low-hanging trees, or a shared driveway. The load gets placed as close to your work area as the truck can safely reach, so clearing space ahead of time helps the driver place it exactly where you want it.

Answer

Should I use rock or mulch around my house foundation?

Rock is the better call against foundations since it does not hold moisture against the house the way mulch can, and it will not need refreshing. Mulch is better suited to planting beds where you want organic matter feeding the soil. A lot of Warner Robins yards use rock along the foundation and mulch further out in the planting beds.
