Placing an order online was so easy. Delivery was on time. When the driver realized we had a newly poured driveway they erred on the side of caution and opted not ti drive in it. The company even sent me a message explaining that call. Would recommend!

At a 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard covers roughly 162 square feet at the shallow end of that range, less as you go deeper. Measure your bed's length and width, decide on 2 or 3 inches based on how much foot traffic or drainage the area gets, then order in full cubic yards rather than rounding down. Most Amarillo front-yard beds run somewhere between 2 and 5 cubic yards, but a quick measurement will get you a precise number.

One of the easiest customer service experiences I've had in a long time! Mulch Mound made it so simple. After putting it off for a while, I looked at the weather and knew I needed to get to mulching ASAP before the rain came if I didn't want to wait another week. I put my order in for the next day online and they came right at 9 AM. The employee who dropped off the mulch did a great job, putting it right on the tarp I laid out, she even made sure none of it got on the yard and double checked the truck bed to make sure it all came out. The mulch was exactly what I needed and arrived right on time.
Landscape fabric underneath keeps the rock from working itself into the sandy loam over time and cuts down on weeds pushing through. Steel or aluminum edging holds a clean line where rock meets lawn, which matters more here than in yards with heavier clay soil. Some customers also order a contrasting mulch for planting beds nearby to break up an all-rock front yard.
Lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down, not after, and overlap the seams by a few inches so wind driven sand from Amarillo's sandy loam does not work its way underneath over a few seasons. Skipping fabric means the rock slowly sinks into the soil and you end up topping it off within a couple years, which defeats the point of a one time install.
The biggest mistake we see locally is installing rock right up against a home's foundation without a gap for drainage, then wondering why water pools during a summer thunderstorm. Leave a slight grade away from the house and keep the rock a few inches below any siding or stucco so splash back does not stain the exterior over time.
Rock costs more up front per yard than mulch, but you are not buying it again next spring, which is the real math to compare. If you are covering a large front yard, consider mixing a decorative rock border with a cheaper base rock in the middle sections that get less visibility, then reserve the premium material for the areas closest to the street.
Amarillo's wind is the real design constraint here, and loose organic mulch tends to migrate across yards after a few dry fronts blow through. Landscape rock stays put, which is why so many front yards along the flatter parts of town lean on stone beds instead of turf or bark. Sandy loam drains quickly already, so rock over fabric does not sit in standing water even after a hard spring storm. It is a good match for the low-maintenance look a lot of Yellow City homeowners want, especially in beds that get full sun most of the day.
Landscape rock is stone chosen for how it looks as much as what it does. River rock is smooth and rounded, decomposed granite is fine and packs firm underfoot. Both are sold by the cubic yard for beds, borders, paths, and dry creek beds.
River rock stays loose and rolls, so it suits beds, borders, and drainage runs where it can sit in place. Decomposed granite compacts into a firm surface, so it suits paths, patios, and anywhere you will walk or roll a wheelbarrow.
Spread river rock 2 to 3 inches deep over landscape fabric so it stays put and weeds stay down. Lay decomposed granite 3 to 4 inches deep, wet it, and compact it in lifts for a surface that sheds water instead of rutting.
