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 the standard 2 inch install depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a typical 10 by 20 foot bed runs close to one and a quarter yards. If you're going deeper for a foundation border or a spot that gets heavy foot traffic, figure closer to 3 inches and adjust coverage down to roughly 108 square feet per yard. Measure the bed first, then decide on depth based on how the area gets used.

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 what makes rock a decade long install instead of a weed patch by summer, so plan on that layer first. Edging, whether steel or paver, keeps the stone from migrating into the lawn or driveway over time. For beds with actual plantings, some people mix in a mulched section since rock alone won't feed the soil the way organic material does.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscape fabric before any rock goes down, especially on Washington's silt loam, since that soil holds moisture and untreated ground will grow weeds up through loose stone within a season. Overlap fabric seams by at least six inches and pin them down. Skipping this step is the single most common reason people end up redoing a rock bed two or three years later instead of getting the decade of low maintenance they expected.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock traps falling leaves instead of breaking them down like mulch does, so beds near mature trees need a blower pass or a rake through in late fall before frost, especially with first frost landing around October 20 here. Left alone, matted leaves under rock create a damp layer that grows moss and holds moisture against foundations, which defeats the purpose of switching to stone in the first place.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order slightly more than your calculated total, since running short means a second delivery charge for what might be a half yard shortfall. It's more efficient to round up to the next quarter yard and keep the extra bagged for future touch ups around downspouts or spots where mowers kick stone into the grass. Pairing a small mulch order for planted areas alongside your rock order in the same delivery window also saves a trip.

Decorative Stone in Washington

Washington sits on silt loam that drains slowly and compacts when it's wet, which is exactly the kind of ground where mulch mats down and rock stays put. With frost arriving mid October and lingering into April, homeowners here want beds that don't need spring cleanup or a fall refresh before the cold sets in. Rock over fabric handles the freeze thaw cycle at 532 feet elevation without heaving or washing out, which matters on the sloped lots common around town. It's a common choice for foundation borders and downspout aprons where standing water is already a problem.

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 much landscape rock do I need for a bed along my foundation in Washington?

Measure the length and width of the bed in feet, multiply them, then divide by 162 for a standard 2 inch depth. A typical 4 by 30 foot foundation strip comes out to about three quarters of a cubic yard. Round up slightly since foundation beds often need a bit more depth where downspouts drain into them.

Answer

How many square feet does one cubic yard of landscape rock cover?

One cubic yard covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, which is standard for most groundcover beds. If you're going 3 inches deep for a heavier look or better weed suppression, that same yard covers closer to 108 square feet. Depth matters more than most people expect when sizing an order.

Answer

When is the best time to install landscape rock in Washington, Indiana?

Spring after the last frost around April 18 or fall before the ground freezes are both good windows, since you'll want to lay fabric and grade the bed on dry, workable soil. Avoid installing right after heavy rain, since Washington's silt loam gets soft and compacts unevenly under foot traffic when wet.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck place my landscape rock?

The truck drops the load at your driveway or another accessible spot you specify during checkout. Make sure there's a clear path at least as wide as a standard pickup and that low hanging branches or narrow gates won't block the route, since the crew places material where the truck can safely reach.

Answer

Is landscape rock better than mulch for beds around my house?

It depends on the bed. Rock outlasts mulch by years and handles Washington's wet silt loam without breaking down, making it a solid choice near foundations and downspouts. But it won't feed the soil or support plants that want organic matter, so beds with shrubs or perennials often do better with mulch instead.
