At the standard 2 inch install depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 300 square foot bed along a foundation or walkway runs close to 2 cubic yards. Going to 3 inches for heavier drainage areas drops coverage to around 108 square feet per yard, so measure your bed first and decide on depth before ordering. We deliver by the cubic yard so you can order the exact volume your project needs.

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.

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 rich and consistent, and I received more than enough to complete my project with proper coverage and packing.

Customer service was equally outstanding. Communication was clear, and the team was responsive and professional throughout. It’s rare to find a company that delivers both a high-quality product and excellent service, but mulch mound did just that.

Highly recommended, and I wouldn’t hesitate to order from them again.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Landscape fabric underneath is what actually makes this a decade install instead of a weed farm, so plan on it for any bed over 20 square feet. Edging, whether metal or paver, keeps the rock from migrating into the lawn during Wilson's heavier summer storms. Some customers pair rock borders with mulch in the planting beds themselves, using rock only where nothing organic needs to grow.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

In Wilson's sandy clay loam, skip skimping on fabric prep. Grade the bed so it slopes slightly away from the foundation before laying fabric, because clay-heavy soil here doesn't drain fast and rock alone won't fix a low spot. Overlap fabric seams by at least six inches and pin every two feet. Done right, this bed won't need touching again for ten years or more, which is the whole point of choosing rock over mulch.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake we see locally is skipping fabric to save money, then fighting weeds and sunken rock within two summers. Wilson's warm, humid stretch from May through September pushes weed seed germination hard, and bare rock over soil gives them a perfect foothold. Fabric first, rock second, no exceptions if you want the low maintenance payoff this material is supposed to deliver.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock beds pair well with a narrow mulch ring right at the base of shrubs or perennials that actually want organic matter, since rock alone starves roots of nutrients over time. Order rock for the open groundcover zones and keep mulch in tight planting pockets. This mixed approach costs a little more planning but means you're not re-mulching a whole yard every spring, just the small planted sections.

Decorative Stone in Wilson

Wilson sits on sandy clay loam that holds water longer than straight sand, which means bare soil near foundations and downspouts can stay damp and soft between rains. A layer of screened rock over fabric sheds that water instead of letting it pool against the house. With zone 8a summers running hot and long, rock also won't bake down or blow away like lighter mulch does by August. It's a common choice around the older brick homes near downtown where drainage off the roofline has worn channels into the beds.

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 well in Wilson's clay soil without extra drainage work?

It works, but only with fabric and a slight grade away from structures first. Wilson's sandy clay loam holds water longer than sandy soils, so rock laid directly on ungraded soil can trap moisture underneath and shift over time. Grade the bed, lay fabric, then add rock, and it'll perform well for years without settling or pooling.

Answer

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

At 2 inches deep, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so measure your foundation strip's length and width first. A typical 100 foot by 2 foot strip is 200 square feet, needing just over one yard. Going to 3 inches deep for better drainage drops coverage to about 108 square feet per yard, so order slightly more.

Answer

Is fall a good time to install rock before Wilson's first frost hits?

Yes, fall through early spring works well since the ground isn't frozen and you're not fighting summer heat while spreading. With first frost around October 29 and last frost around April 2, you have a wide window before and after that avoids the harshest summer stretch for outdoor labor.

Answer

Can the delivery truck access a narrow driveway or do I need a drop in the street?

Let us know your access constraints when you schedule, since standard dump trucks need a reasonably wide, flat path to the drop spot. If your driveway is narrow or sloped, we can often place the load closer to the street and you wheelbarrow it in from there. Just have the area clear and marked before delivery day.

Answer

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

Rock makes sense if you want a one time install and don't mind that it won't feed the soil, especially near foundations or downspouts where drainage matters more than plant nutrition. Mulch breaks down and needs refreshing but adds organic matter, which plants in Wilson's clay loam often benefit from. Many yards here use both, rock for open areas, mulch around plantings.
