One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, which is the standard install depth for most bed applications. If you want more weed suppression or a heavier look, going to 3 inches drops your coverage to around 108 square feet per yard. Measure your bed square footage first, then divide by the coverage rate at your chosen depth to land on a yard count.

Mulch Mound delivered a yard of pea gravel to us. Delivery was on time, driver was friendly and hit a bullseye on the “tarp target”. We used the pea gravel (which was diameter as specified) to fill several muskrat holes around our pond. I would definitely recommend Mulch Mound to a friend!
Landscape fabric underneath is what makes this a decade-long install instead of a weed magnet, so budget for it if you do not already have it down. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the rock from migrating into the lawn, especially useful on the slightly sloped lots common around Winston-Salem. If any part of the bed borders plants that want organic matter, pair rock in the foundation zones with mulch in the planting zones rather than covering everything uniformly.
Service area
Winston-Salem's clay loam drains slower than sandy soils to the east, so grade your bed with a slight slope away from the foundation before laying fabric and rock. If water has nowhere to go, it sits under the rock layer and can eventually seep toward your foundation. A french drain or simple swale under the fabric solves this cheaply before you ever place the first stone.
The most common mistake we see is skipping fabric to save a step, then fighting weeds within a year because clay loam holds enough moisture and nutrients to germinate seeds that blow in on top of the rock. Fabric is what makes this a true one time install instead of a recurring project. Spend the extra hour, it is the difference between a decade of low maintenance and annual weeding.
Order your full estimated quantity at once rather than in batches, since color and stone size can vary slightly between deliveries depending on the quarry run. Getting it all in one delivery also means one driveway drop instead of multiple trips, which matters if you are working around Old Salem's narrower older streets and tighter access points.
Winston-Salem's clay loam holds water longer than sandy soil, which means beds against foundations and around downspouts stay damp and prone to washout if left bare. Rock over landscape fabric solves that by shedding water fast instead of letting it pool against your clay subsoil. With our zone 7b winters bringing freeze and thaw cycles into the 30s and 40s, organic mulch breaks down and shifts, but rock stays put through the season without needing a spring refresh. It is a common choice around Old Salem area homes where owners want a tidy, low-fuss bed that does not need annual attention.
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 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.
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.
