At the standard 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard covers roughly 162 square feet at the thinner end of that range. Measure your bed length by width, decide if you want 2 or 3 inches, and that tells you how many cubic yards to order. Most front yard groundcover beds in Ashburn run somewhere between 2 and 5 cubic yards.

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.

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!

Landscape fabric underneath is what makes this a decade long install instead of a weed patch by next summer. Edging, whether steel or paver, keeps the rock from migrating onto the lawn after mowing season. Some homeowners layer a strip of mulch closer to foundation plantings and rock further out where nothing needs feeding.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Ashburn's clay loam holds water longer than sandy soils, so grade the bed with a slight slope away from the house before you lay fabric. If rock sits over a low spot, it becomes a permanent puddle liner instead of a groundcover. A five minute check with a level before installing fabric saves you from digging the whole bed back out later.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake is skipping fabric to save a step, then fighting weeds pushing through rock within one growing season. Clay loam here is fertile enough that anything blown in will root fast. Lay commercial grade fabric, overlap seams by at least six inches, and pin it every few feet, especially along bed edges where mulch mowers tend to catch and lift it.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock is a one time cost compared to mulch, which needs refreshing most years in this climate. Order slightly more than your calculation, an extra half yard costs far less than a second delivery fee if you run short mid project. Leftover rock stores fine in a covered bin for touch ups around downspouts or future beds.

Decorative Stone in Ashburn

Ashburn's clay loam drains slowly, and rock over landscape fabric solves the standing water problem that mulch beds get every spring thaw. With a zone 7a swing from hard frost in October to last frost in April, organic mulch breaks down and needs replacing, but rock does not care about freeze thaw cycles. It is a common choice around foundations and downspouts here where erosion from clay runoff is a real issue. Just keep it away from beds where you actually want plants pulling nutrients from decomposing organic matter.

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 in Ashburn's clay soil without drainage problems?

Yes, as long as the bed is graded to shed water rather than collect it. Clay loam drains slowly, so rock over fabric on a flat or low spot can trap moisture underneath. Grade a slight slope away from the house first, then the rock actually helps by keeping soil from staying saturated at the surface.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a typical front bed here?

At 2 inches deep, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 300 square foot bed needs roughly 2 cubic yards. Go to 3 inches deep near downspouts or clay runoff areas and you will use closer to 2.7 to 3 cubic yards for that same footprint.

Answer

Is spring or fall a better time to install rock in Ashburn?

Fall works well here, after the October frost slows plant growth but before the ground gets hard, since you are not racing weeds or heat. Spring after the April last frost also works, just expect faster weed pressure around bed edges if fabric seams are not sealed tight.

Answer

Can the delivery truck reach my backyard or does it stop at the driveway?

Delivery is curbside or driveway drop, the truck does not drive onto lawns or through gates. Plan a wheelbarrow path to the bed location and clear about 10 feet of access space for the truck before your scheduled delivery.

Answer

Should I choose rock or mulch for beds around my house foundation?

Rock is the better call right against foundations since it will not hold moisture against siding the way mulch can, and it is a one time install instead of an annual refresh. Save mulch for beds with plants that benefit from organic matter breaking down into Ashburn's clay loam.
