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!

Landscape rock covers about 162 square feet per cubic yard at a 2 inch depth, or less if you go to 3 inches for better weed suppression. A typical foundation bed running the length of a ranch house might take 2 to 3 cubic yards, while a small front bed around a mailbox or downspout could use less than one. Measure the square footage of your bed first, then decide on depth based on how much weed barrier you want.

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.
Landscaping fabric underneath keeps the rock from sinking into Ashtabula's clay over time and is worth installing before the rock goes down, not after. Steel or plastic edging keeps a rock bed looking sharp against lawn edges instead of scattering into the grass. Some customers also order a small amount of mulch for planting islands within the rock bed where they actually want soil to stay alive.
Service area
In Ashtabula's clay soil, skip laying rock directly on bare ground. Grade the bed, compact the clay, then lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down. Without that fabric layer, rock will slowly work its way into the clay over a few winters of freeze and thaw, and you will end up raking rock out of mud instead of enjoying a clean bed. The fabric is the difference between a decade-long install and a five year one.
Rock beds near Ashtabula's tree-lined streets collect leaves every fall, and unlike mulch, rock does not absorb them, it just holds them on the surface. Plan to blow or rake leaves off rock beds each October before the ground freezes, otherwise decomposing leaf litter builds a thin soil layer on top of the rock that lets weeds root in by spring.
If you are covering a large area, mixing a slightly larger rock size on the outer edges with a finer decorative rock in the visible front beds can stretch your order further without sacrificing curb appeal near the Smolen-Gulf Bridge corridor's more visible properties. Larger rock also resists scattering in heavy spring runoff better than fine gravel.
Ashtabula sits on heavy clay that holds water long after the lake effect snow melts, and rock does not break down into that clay or feed weeds the way organic mulch can. With a first frost around October 20 and a growing season that resets each April, homeowners here want beds that do not need annual attention, and a properly laid rock bed with fabric underneath can sit through a decade of freeze and thaw without much fuss. It works especially well against foundations and downspouts, both common trouble spots when Ashtabula gets a heavy spring runoff.
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.
