One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, which is the standard install depth for most residential beds. Go to 3 inches for high traffic areas or slopes where you want the stone to stay in place through Yonkers winter freeze thaw cycles. Measure your bed square footage first, then divide by 162 to get a solid cubic yard estimate before you order.

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.

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 order in for the next day online and they came right at 9 AM. The employee who dropped off the mulch did a great job, putting it right on the tarp I laid out, she even made sure none of it got on the yard and double checked the truck bed to make sure it all came out. The mulch was exactly what I needed and arrived right on time.

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!

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Landscape fabric underneath is what makes this a decade long install instead of a weed patch by next August, so lay it before the rock goes down. Steel or aluminum edging keeps stone out of the lawn on sloped yards where gravity wants to move it downhill. If any part of the bed still needs to support plant growth, keep a mulch section separate rather than mixing the two.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

On Yonkers hillside lots, install rock beds with a slight crown rather than flat, so water sheets off toward drainage instead of pooling against your foundation. Loam soil already drains slower than sandy soil, so a flat rock bed on a slope can turn into a wet mess by spring. Set your fabric, crown the base with a couple inches of compacted subgrade if the slope is steep, then place your rock on top.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake we see is skipping fabric because it seems like an extra step. Without it, loam works its way up between the stones within a couple seasons and you end up with weeds rooting right in the rock bed. Fabric is what turns this into the one time install it is supposed to be, so do not shortcut it even on small areas.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you are edging a foundation or downspout area, order rock for that section separately from any bed near shrubs or perennials, since those plants want mulch feeding the loam beneath them. Splitting the order this way means you are not paying to cover square footage with the wrong material, and each area gets what it actually needs long term.

Decorative Stone in Yonkers

Yonkers loam holds water well, which is great for lawns but means bare soil near foundations can stay damp and erode on the hillside lots common here. Rock over fabric solves that, especially on the sloped yards running down toward the Hudson River waterfront near Getty Square where runoff is a real concern. It does not feed the loam the way mulch does, so keep it away from beds where you want shrubs and perennials to thrive. It is the right call for the areas of your yard that just need to stay put and look finished, not grow anything.

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

Does landscape rock work well with Yonkers clay-heavy loam soil?

Yes, rock actually performs better than mulch on loam that holds moisture, since it does not break down or compact into the soil. Just install fabric underneath first, otherwise fine loam particles will migrate up through the stone over a season or two and you will be pulling weeds out of your rock bed.

Answer

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

At the standard 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so 300 square feet needs just under 2 cubic yards. Round up to 2 cubic yards to account for depth variation and edging waste, or go with slightly more if you want a 3 inch depth for a sloped area.

Answer

When is the best time to install rock before Yonkers winter sets in?

Anytime before the ground freezes works, but late summer through mid October is ideal since it gives you time to grade the bed and lay fabric properly before the first frost around November 5. Installing in frozen or waterlogged spring soil makes it harder to get a level, compacted base.

Answer

Will the delivery truck be able to reach my property given the hills in this area?

Most Yonkers driveways and curbside spots are accessible, but steep or narrow driveways common on hillside lots sometimes require the load to be placed at the street or driveway apron instead of closer to the bed. Let us know about access constraints when you schedule so we can plan the drop location.

Answer

Should I use landscape rock or mulch around my foundation?

Rock is the better choice against foundations since it does not hold moisture against the house the way mulch can, and it is a one time install rather than an annual refresh. Save mulch for beds with shrubs or perennials that benefit from organic matter breaking down into the loam over time.
