At the standard 2 inch depth, one cubic yard of rock covers about 162 square feet, so a typical 300 square foot front bed runs close to 2 cubic yards. Going to 3 inches for heavier foot traffic or drainage areas near downspouts will cut that coverage down, so order slightly heavier if you're building up a base against Bayou Cane's clay soil. Measure the bed first, then decide on depth based on how much water that spot usually holds.

I recently ordered from mulch mound and was thoroughly impressed with every aspect of the experience. The entire process, from placing the order to delivery was seamless and efficient. The mulch arrived exactly on time, and the quality exceeded my expectations. The color was rich and consistent, and I received more than enough to complete my project with proper coverage and packing.
Customer service was equally outstanding. Communication was clear, and the team was responsive and professional throughout. It’s rare to find a company that delivers both a high-quality product and excellent service, but mulch mound did just that.
Highly recommended, and I wouldn’t hesitate to order from them again.

I couldn't be happier with the speed and quality of the mulch delivery service of Mulch Mound. Every detail from ordering, to communication with on time delivery, to perfect product placement was amazing. I needed more and I got it within 2 hours! I'm never doing this with bags again.
Landscape fabric underneath is what makes rock last for years instead of sinking into the clay below. A lot of Bayou Cane jobs pair rock beds with a topsoil or mulch delivery for the planted sections nearby, keeping rock strictly to the foundation lines and downspout areas where organic matter isn't wanted. Edging material also helps keep rock from migrating into the lawn during heavy rain events.
Service area
Lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down, especially in Bayou Cane's silty clay, because without it the rock will slowly work its way into the soil over a couple wet seasons and you'll end up topping it off sooner than expected. Overlap fabric seams by a few inches and pin them down before spreading rock, since a gap under a foundation bed is where weeds find their way through first.
The most common mistake locally is spreading rock right up against siding without a gap. In a humid zone 9b climate, trapped moisture between rock and foundation can lead to problems over time, so leave a few inches of clearance and slope the bed slightly away from the house so runoff has somewhere to go besides sitting against the wall.
Rock is a one time cost that outlasts several mulch cycles, so if you're deciding between the two for a foundation bed, think in years rather than seasons. Pairing rock with a mulched planting bed nearby, rather than using rock everywhere, keeps your soil-fed plants healthy while still getting the low-maintenance groundcover where you want it, like along downspouts or a side yard that never gets attention.
Bayou Cane sits at just 7 feet of elevation on silty clay, which means water moves slowly through the ground and low spots hold moisture after storms roll off the Gulf. Rock over landscape fabric sheds that surface water instead of letting it pool against your foundation, which matters here more than in a sandy soil town. It also skips the mulch problem of washing out in a downpour and needing a refresh every season. Zone 9b's long humid growing season pushes weeds hard, and rock over fabric keeps that pressure down around downspouts and bed edges for the long haul.
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.
