About this landscape rock

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

One of the easiest customer service experiences I've had in a long time! Mulch Mound made it so simple. After putting it off for a while, I looked at the weather and knew I needed to get to mulching ASAP before the rain came if I didn't want to wait another week. I put my orde...

At a 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard of rock covers roughly 162 square feet at the thinner end of that range. Measure your bed's square footage first, then decide if you want a thinner decorative depth or a fuller 3 inch layer for better weed suppression, since that changes your yardage. Most Wyoming front yard beds run somewhere between half a yard and two yards depending on size.

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 yard is approximately 27 cubic feet. As a general guideline, one yard of material can cover an area of about 10 feet by 10 feet at a few inches deep.

Landscape fabric underneath is the single biggest factor in whether this stays a decade long groundcover or becomes a weedy mess by year three. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the rock from migrating into lawn areas during mowing season, and a load of screened topsoil nearby is handy if you are also refreshing planting beds elsewhere on the same property.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Wyoming's sandy loam compacts less than clay, which actually makes fabric prep more important, not less, since loose soil lets rock settle and sink over time without a barrier. Lay fabric flush against the soil, overlap seams by a few inches, and pin every 18 inches. Skipping this on sandy ground is the number one reason rock beds here look thin and uneven within two years.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Because this is a one time install, not an annual refresh, resist the urge to skimp on depth to save a trip. A true 3 inch layer over fabric will outlast a 2 inch layer by years, especially near downspouts where runoff pushes thin rock aside during heavy spring rain before the ground fully thaws.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order in slightly larger batches than you think you need if you are doing multiple beds around the same property, since matching rock color and size later can be inconsistent between deliveries. Pairing rock beds with a mulched planting area nearby, rather than covering everything in stone, keeps your soil-loving plants fed while the rock handles the low maintenance zones.

Decorative Stone in Wyoming

Wyoming's sandy loam drains fast, which means rock beds here do not stay soggy or heave much once installed, a real advantage over heavier clay soils. With frost arriving mid October and the ground not fully waking up until early May, this is a material you install once and let sit through the freeze thaw cycle without worrying about it shifting. It suits the foundation plantings and low water beds common around the newer builds near Lamar Park, where homeowners want structure without a mowing or mulching schedule. Just keep in mind it traps falling leaves from the neighborhood's maple cover, so fall cleanup around rock beds takes a little more raking.

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 rock beds hold up through a Wyoming winter without shifting?

Yes, once installed over fabric and edged properly, rock stays put through freeze thaw cycles. Sandy loam drains well so you avoid the heaving that heavier clay soils cause. The main upkeep is clearing fall leaves before the first hard freeze around October 12 so they do not mat into the rock.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a 300 square foot front bed?

At 2 inches deep, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 300 square foot bed needs close to 2 cubic yards. If you want a fuller 3 inch depth for better weed control, plan on closer to 2.5 to 3 yards for the same area.

Answer

What is the best time of year to install rock in Wyoming?

Late spring after the last frost around May 7 or early fall before October 12 both work well, since the ground is workable and you avoid installing over frozen or waterlogged soil. Avoid mid winter installs when frost can interfere with proper fabric anchoring.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck place the rock on my property?

The load gets dropped at the driveway or spot you specify when scheduling, so make sure there is clear truck access beforehand. Have a plan for moving material from the drop point to the bed, since the driver places the pile but does not spread it.

Answer

Should I choose rock or mulch for beds near my downspouts?

Rock is the better choice around downspouts since it will not wash away or break down the way mulch does under repeated runoff. It also will not need replacing every year, though it will not feed the surrounding soil the way organic mulch does, so nearby plants that want richer soil may do better with mulch instead.
