About this landscape rock

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

At the standard 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 square footage first, then divide by 162 to get a rough cubic yard count, adjusting down slightly if you're installing closer to 3 inches. Most Westfield front yard beds run 1 to 3 cubic yards, but larger foundation runs around new builds can go higher.

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.

A ton is 2,000 pounds of material. As a general guideline, one ton of rock covers roughly 100 square feet at 2 inches deep, depending on rock size and density.

We have always spread our own mulch for the past 24 years. This was our first time with the Mulch Mound - things I liked: they have online ordering and provide a digital receipt which means you can remember how much you ordered (I always forget for the next year!), they were on time, they were able to deliver in 48 hours, they were generous with the portion (we got 9 yards and it felt like a FULL nine yards!), the driver was polite! We have ordered from reputable places, and there is always a little trash in the mulch. The mulch we recv'd from Mulch Mound had barely any... we were pleasant surprised!!! Color was great! Not to mention - the price was competitive and LOWER than other mulch places around. We will use again !! Highly recommend! Thanks Mulch Mound!

Landscape fabric underneath is worth installing before the rock goes down, since it is what keeps this a decade-long groundcover instead of a weedy mess by year two. Edging, whether steel or paver, keeps rock from migrating into the lawn during mowing. Some customers pair a rock border with a mulch bed further from the foundation where they still want plants to get organic matter.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscape fabric before rock, not after, and overlap seams by at least 6 inches since Westfield's silt loam pushes moisture upward and seams that gap will let weeds punch through within a season. Pin the fabric every few feet rather than just at the edges. This single step is the difference between a bed that stays clean for ten years and one you're fighting by year three.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock beds trap leaves instead of breaking them down, and Westfield's tree cover means fall leaf litter will sit on top of rock all winter if you don't blow or rake it off before the first snow. Left alone, decomposing leaf matter creates a thin soil layer on top of your rock where weed seeds germinate, undermining the whole point of a low-maintenance install.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order slightly more than your calculated yardage, around 10 percent extra, since spreading rock evenly at 2 to 3 inches always uses more material at edges and around downspout splash zones than flat math predicts. It's more efficient to have leftover rock for a small future project than to schedule a second delivery for a shortfall of half a yard.

Decorative Stone in Westfield

Westfield's silt loam drains slowly enough that mulch beds near downspouts and foundations tend to stay soggy and grow weeds fast. Rock does not break down or compact into that soil, so it stays put through freeze thaw cycles between our April 25 last frost and October 15 first frost. Around new construction and the newer subdivisions near Grand Park, rock beds are common because they hold their line against silt loam runoff better than shredded mulch. It is a strong pick anywhere you want a border that does not need annual attention.

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 a landscape rock bed actually last in Westfield before I need to redo it?

With fabric underneath and basic leaf cleanup, a rock bed here typically holds its look for a decade or more since the stone doesn't break down or wash away like mulch does in our silt loam soil. You may need to top off a thin spot every few years, but it is not an annual redo like bark mulch.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a bed along my foundation?

Measure the length and width of the bed, multiply for square footage, then divide by 162 since one cubic yard covers about that much at 2 inches deep. A typical 100 square foot foundation bed runs a little under a cubic yard, so most homeowners round up to one full yard.

Answer

Is there a bad time of year to install rock in Westfield?

Rock can go down anytime the ground isn't frozen, but installing before our October 15 first frost or after the April 25 last frost avoids working fabric and edging into muddy or icy soil. Late spring and early fall are the easiest windows for a clean install.

Answer

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

You choose the drop spot at checkout, usually a driveway or curb area, and the truck places the load there rather than distributing it around your yard. You don't need to be home, but the area should be clear and accessible for a full size delivery truck.

Answer

Should I choose rock or mulch for a bed near my downspouts?

Rock is the better call around downspouts since it won't float, wash out, or compact into Westfield's silt loam the way mulch can during heavy spring runoff. Mulch feeds soil and suits planting beds where you want organic matter, but for pure drainage zones rock holds up longer with less maintenance.
