It depends on your landscaping, are they pavers or step stones?

What to do to make a good compost?
You can make a compost bin from almost anything: cinder blocks, lumber, rubber garbage cans ...; to me the question is: "How large or small do you want it to be?" If you live in an area where you get a lot of rain, then you should keep it covered; also, by covering it, you will keep out the night-time critters.
As an example: you could make it 2 feet wide by 2 feet long by 3 feet high with 3 or 4 sides. It may be placed under cover out of the weather or fitted with some type of a lid.
The most important things about composting are:
- Put only vegetables, peelings from the kitchen, cut-up newspapers, leaves, grass, coffee grounds, egg shells [no fish or whole eggs]; and keep the contents as wet as a sponge.
- Turn it over at least once a week.
But you don't even have to make a bin to have good compost. You can just make a pile and get the same results.

How many square feet does 1 ton of landscape rock cover?
It depends on what size/kind of rock you want to use. Let's start with what I'll assume is the largest rock one would use in a rock garden - 3 to 5 in. River Rock: 1 Ton will cover about 80 sq. ft. if you want to make sure there are no "holes" 1 to 3 in. River Rock: 1 Ton will cover about 100 sq. ft. (no holes) 3/4 in. Rock: 1 Ton will cover about 150 sq. feet at 1.5" deep... & 120 sq. ft. at 2" deep 3/8 in. Rock - or crusher finds cover about the same as 3/4 in. Rock, but when using smaller rock, I like to cover at least 2" deep because there's more of a tendency for smaller rock to move around & settle, and you want to make sure you aren't looking at the weed barrier in half a year.
