💡 Pro Tip
Use a landscape edging product (metal, plastic, or concrete) to contain loose rock. Without edging, decorative rock migrates into lawns and planting beds within one season.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much landscape rock do I need?
For 3-inch depth: multiply square footage by 0.0309 to get cubic yards. Multiply cubic yards by 1.4–1.7 for tons depending on rock density.
Q: Is rock or mulch better for landscaping?
Rock is permanent (no replacement needed), resists wind, and keeps weeds down. Mulch decomposes and improves soil over time. Rock is better in hot/dry climates; mulch is better for plant health in rainy climates.
