How to measure and calculate material
Measure
Measure the centerline length and average width, then include extra for curves and high edges.
Recommended depth
3 to 4 inches is typical where rock needs weight and drainage.
Example math
A creek bed 3 ft wide x 35 ft long is 105 sq ft. At 3 inches deep, 105 / 108 = 1 yard. Wider curves and larger rock may need more.
How to order from Landscape Rock Direct
Message the creek bed length, width, rock size, drainage goal, and delivery access photos.
For a faster quote, include the project name, material choice, square footage, desired depth, photos of the dump area, and the delivery city. This helps confirm quantity, access, and scheduling before the truck is sent.
Weekend project plan
Friday: lay out the curve with a hose and mark the edges.
Saturday: dig shallow shape, fabric the bed, and place larger stones first.
Sunday: fill with river rock and tune the natural flow lines.
