About this landscape rock

Smooth tumbled river rock, heavy enough to stay put in drainage runs and handsome enough for beds and borders.

Great service. We ordered topsoil from Mulch Mound and the best experience. Thank you so much!

One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, or a bit less if you go to the recommended 3 inch depth for better weed suppression. Measure your bed's length and width, multiply for square footage, then divide by 162 to get a starting cubic yard estimate. Round up slightly since edges and slopes eat more material than flat, open beds.

A yard is approximately 27 cubic feet. As a general guideline, one yard of material can cover an area of about 100-160 square feet at a 2-3 inch depth.

A ton is approximately 2,000 pounds. Coverage varies by stone type and depth, but as a general guideline, one ton covers roughly 80-100 square feet at 2 inches deep.

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.

We have always spread our own mulch for the past 24 years. This was our first time with the Mulch Mound - things I liked: they have online ordering and provide a digital receipt which means you can remember how much you ordered (I always forget for the next year!), they were on time, they were able to deliver in 48 hours, they were generous with the portion (we got 9 yards and it felt like a FULL nine yards!), the driver was polite! We have ordered from reputable places, and there is always a little trash in the mulch. The mulch we recv'd from Mulch Mound had barely any... we were pleasant surprised!!! Color was great! Not to mention - the price was competitive and LOWER than other mulch places around. We will use again !! Highly recommend! Thanks Mulch Mound!

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Landscape fabric goes down first to keep clay soil from working its way up through the rock over time. Edging, whether steel or paver, keeps rock from migrating into the lawn during mowing or heavy rain. Some Arlington yards mix rock with mulched planting pockets so shrubs still get organic matter while the open ground stays low maintenance.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Arlington's clay soil holds water at the surface longer than sandy soil would, so grade beds slightly away from the foundation before laying fabric and rock. If water has nowhere to go, it sits under the rock and turns the clay beneath into a sponge, which eventually pushes rock unevenly and creates low spots you will notice within a year or two.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake we see locally is skipping fabric because it seems optional. Without it, clay works up through the rock within a season or two, especially after the heavy spring rains typical here, and you end up with muddy rock instead of clean stone. Fabric is cheap insurance against redoing the whole bed.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock is a one time install, not a seasonal refresh like mulch, so it is worth ordering slightly more than your calculated minimum rather than running short and mismatching a second batch later. Stone color can vary slightly between deliveries depending on the quarry run, so buying enough up front keeps the whole bed consistent.

Decorative Stone in Arlington

Arlington sits on heavy clay that drains slow, so beds along foundations and downspouts often stay soggy after storms roll through in spring. Rock placed over landscape fabric breaks that cycle, keeping water moving instead of pooling against the house. With growing zone 8b pushing long hot stretches from May through September, rock also does not bake down or break apart the way mulch does in that heat. It is a common choice for the low maintenance front yards that fit the pace of a fast growing city like this one.

What Landscape Rock Is

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 vs Decomposed Granite

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.

Depth and Coverage

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

Will landscape rock work with Arlington's clay soil or will it just sink in?

It works well as long as fabric goes down first. The fabric is what keeps rock from sinking into clay over time, not the rock itself. Skip the fabric and the heavy clay here will slowly swallow the stone within a couple of seasons, especially in low spots that hold water after rain.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a 300 square foot bed?

At the standard 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 300 square foot bed needs just under 2 cubic yards. If you want the fuller 3 inch depth, plan closer to 3 cubic yards to be safe.

Answer

What time of year is best to install landscape rock in Arlington?

Late fall through early spring works well here, after the first frost around November 14 and before the summer heat sets in. Working clay soil in the cooler months is easier since it is less compacted and dry than during peak summer, which makes fabric laying and grading simpler.

Answer

Where will the rock be placed when it's delivered?

The truck drops the load at the driveway or curb spot you choose during checkout. Make sure that area is clear and accessible for a heavy delivery, since a cubic yard of rock weighs around 1.35 tons and cannot easily be moved once it is dumped.

Answer

Should I choose landscape rock or mulch for beds near my house?

Rock makes sense for foundation beds and areas around downspouts where drainage and permanence matter more than feeding the soil. Mulch is better where you have plants that benefit from organic matter breaking down. Many Arlington yards use rock near the house and mulch in planting beds further out.
