At a standard 2 inch depth, one cubic yard of rock covers about 162 square feet, so a typical 300 square foot bed along a foundation runs close to two yards. If you want a deeper 3 inch layer for better weed suppression, plan on roughly 108 square feet per yard instead. Measure your bed length and width first, then decide on depth based on how much weed pressure you're dealing with.

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!

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Landscape fabric underneath is what makes this a decade-long install instead of a weed patch by next summer, so plan on laying that first. Edging, whether metal or paver, keeps the rock from migrating into the lawn during mowing. A lot of Ashland customers pair rock beds with mulch elsewhere on the property, using rock at the foundation and mulch around plantings that actually benefit from organic matter breaking down.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscape fabric before you spread rock, not after, and overlap seams by at least six inches so soil can't push through as it settles. In Ashland's clay heavy soil, skipping fabric means the rock will slowly sink into the ground over a couple seasons and you'll be topping it off sooner than you'd like. Pin the fabric down every few feet, especially near downspouts where water moves fast enough to shift it.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock traps leaves instead of breaking them down, and Ashland's tree cover means fall leaf litter is a real issue. Plan on blowing or raking beds clean a couple times each autumn, otherwise decomposing leaf matter builds a thin soil layer on top of the rock that lets weed seeds take hold. A leaf blower on a low setting works better than raking, which can drag fabric or stone out of place.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Because this is a one time install rather than a yearly refresh like mulch, it's worth ordering slightly more than the bare minimum calculation to have extra on hand for settling or future bed expansion. Buying a small surplus now costs less in trips and labor than ordering a partial yard again in a year or two. Keep it in a covered spot near where you'll eventually use it.

Decorative Stone in Ashland

Ashland sits low along the Ohio River at 551 feet, and that silt clay loam holds water longer than a sandy soil would, which makes bare mulch beds prone to washing out on a slope. Rock stays put through spring runoff and doesn't break down the way organic mulch does in zone 6b's freeze thaw cycles. It's a common choice around foundations near the river where owners want something that won't need refreshing every year. It also works well against downspouts, where a bark mulch bed would just wash away with the first hard rain off the Paramount Arts Center rooftops downtown.

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

How long will landscape rock actually last before I need to redo it?

Rock over fabric typically lasts a decade or more without needing replacement, unlike mulch which breaks down annually. It may need topping off in high traffic spots or where fabric wasn't properly overlapped, but this is a one time install for most Ashland yards, not a seasonal refresh.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a 400 square foot bed?

At 2 inches deep, one yard covers about 162 square feet, so 400 square feet needs roughly 2.5 yards. If you're going with a deeper 3 inch layer for better coverage, plan closer to 3.7 yards. Measure your bed first and round up slightly to account for uneven depth.

Answer

When's the best time to install rock beds in Ashland?

Late spring after the last frost around April 15 or early fall before October 13 both work well, since the ground isn't frozen or saturated from spring thaw. Avoid installing right after heavy rain when Ashland's clay soil is soft, since equipment and foot traffic will compact it unevenly under the fabric.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck drop the rock, and do I need to be home?

The driver places the load wherever you specify, usually a driveway or curbside spot with truck access. You don't need to be home, but you should clear the area beforehand and let us know at checkout if there are gate or access restrictions at your property.

Answer

Should I use rock or mulch around my foundation?

Rock works better right against foundations and downspouts where you want something permanent that won't wash out or need yearly replacement. Mulch is better for planting beds where you want organic matter feeding the soil. Many Ashland yards use rock near the house and mulch further out around shrubs and flower beds.
