About this landscape rock

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

Easy to order, great service, and great product. We enjoy the final look of a very neglected beds we inherited!

At a 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 length and width, multiply for square footage, then divide by 162 to get a rough yard count at 2 inches, and adjust down a bit if you are going closer to 3 inches deep. Most single-bed residential jobs in Wichita Falls run somewhere between 2 and 6 cubic yards depending on how much of the yard is in rock versus turf.

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.

Landscape fabric underneath is what actually makes this a one-time install instead of a five-year regret, since without it the rock works itself into the clay loam and weeds punch through anyway. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the rock out of the lawn and off the driveway after mowing season starts. Some Wichita Falls customers pair a rock border with mulch in the planting beds themselves, using rock only where nothing is meant to grow.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

In Wichita Falls clay loam, always lay landscape fabric before rock, not after. Skipping it means the rock gradually presses into the clay during wet spells and disappears a little more each year, and by year three you are topping off a bed that should have needed nothing. Fabric also stops clay from working its way up between the stones, which keeps the rock looking clean instead of muddy after a hard rain off the Wichita River watershed.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock beds near live oaks or pecan trees fill with leaves every fall and winter, and unlike mulch, rock will not absorb or break down that debris, it just sits on top. Plan on blowing or raking rock beds out once after the first frost in mid November and again before spring green up in March, or the leaf litter will smother anything planted in the bed.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Because rock is a one-time install rather than an annual refresh like mulch, it is worth ordering slightly heavier upfront, closer to 3 inches than 2, especially in beds that get foot traffic or runoff from a downspout. The extra half yard now costs less than a return delivery in two years once the base layer has settled and thinned out.

Decorative Stone in Wichita Falls

Wichita Falls clay loam sheds water fast when it is compacted and dry, which means rock beds near downspouts need a fabric base or the rock will slowly sink into the soil over a few seasons. With zone 8a summers pushing long stretches of heat and little rain, rock does not stress the way mulch does, it just sits there and holds. A lot of homeowners here use it around foundations and AC units where nothing green wants to grow anyway. It is a common choice for the low-water front yard look you see in newer Wichita Falls developments.

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 in Wichita Falls clay soil without extra prep?

It works better with prep. Clay loam holds moisture and shifts slightly through wet and dry cycles, so rock laid straight on bare clay will sink and mix into the soil over a few years. Laying landscape fabric first keeps the rock on the surface and separates it from the clay, which is what makes it a true one-time install instead of a repeat job.

Answer

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

At a 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 to account for uneven ground and edges, and go closer to 2 yards if they want a fuller 3 inch depth.

Answer

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

Not really, since rock does not depend on growing season the way plants or sod do. That said, installing before the first frost around November 10 or before the spring wet season starting in late March avoids working in mud or freezing ground, and gives you a clean base before leaf drop or spring rain complicates the fabric install.

Answer

Where will the rock be dropped and can the truck get down my driveway?

Delivery trucks place the load at a single accessible spot, typically the driveway or curb closest to your project area, since we do not spread material by hand. Make sure there is a clear path at least 10 to 12 feet wide with no low branches or gate obstructions, and let us know at checkout if your access is tight.

Answer

Should I use rock or mulch in my front bed?

Rock makes sense for foundation lines, downspout areas, and beds with no plants, since it lasts for years and needs almost no upkeep beyond the occasional leaf clearing. Mulch is the better call anywhere you have shrubs or perennials that benefit from organic matter breaking down into the clay loam, since rock never feeds the soil the way mulch does.
