Stone or Mulch?
Landscape stone costs more up front than mulch, but it doesn't fade, blow away or break down, so you don't replace it every spring. Mulch is the better pick around plants that need their soil fed. Many yards use both: mulch in the planting beds, stone along the house, walkways and drainage areas.
How Much Decorative Stone Do I Need?
Multiply the length and width of the area in feet, multiply by the depth in inches, then divide by 324 to get cubic yards. At 2" deep, one cubic yard covers about 162 sq. ft. Most beds and borders look best at 2" to 3" deep.
Put landscape fabric under the stone to keep weeds down and the stone from sinking into the soil.
