What Factors Influence the Amount of Rock Required?

There are many factors that can affect the amount of rock you need to landscape your property. How much rock is required will depend on the size and shape you have to work with, as well as the rock type and depth you use.

Your Area Size and Shape

How much rock you will need depends on the size and shape you have to work with. You will need less rock if your area is small than if it is large. You will need to use more rock to completely cover a curved area or with many nooks.

What Type of Rock Do You Choose

You will need more material depending on the type of rock you choose. You will need less material to cover an area because some rocks are smaller than others. The same goes for rocks with a more texture than others. This will aid in holding the soil in place.

Depth of Coverage

The depth of your coverage will also impact how much rock you require. You will need less rock if you are only covering the surface with a thin layer.

Here are some guidelines that will help you decide how much landscaping rocks you need.

• You will need approximately one cubic yard of rock for small areas (less that 100 square feet).
• Two cubic yards of rock is sufficient to cover medium-sized areas (100-500 sq. feet).
• You will need approximately four cubic yards to cover large areas (500-2500 square feet).
• You will need approximately six cubic yards to cover large areas (over 2000 square feet).

Do You Have the Time?

It's best to hire a professional if you are unsure whether you can landscape by yourself. You can have your landscape designed, installed, and maintained by a landscaping company.

If you are just covering the surface with rock, less material is required than if your goal is to completely bury the rock. Here are some guidelines that will help you decide how much landscaping rock is necessary.
