I contacted Mulch Mound for #57 river rocks and it was easy and fast to get a delivery right before the holiday weekend. Stone was delivered as promised and place exactly where I asked. Excellent service! I will be ordering mulch next!

One cubic yard covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, which is the standard for decorative rock over landscape fabric. For a typical Beachwood foundation bed or front strip, measure length times width, divide by 162, and round up rather than down since running short mid-job on a stone delivery is a hassle. Going to 3 inches deep, common for areas that see heavier foot traffic or runoff, will use noticeably more per yard covered.

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 this a decade install rather than a weed patch by next August, so order enough to cover the full bed footprint before the rock goes down. Steel or aluminum edging keeps rock from migrating into the lawn on sandy soil that shifts more than clay ever would. A lot of Beachwood customers pair rock beds with a load of mulch elsewhere on the property since rock and organic beds usually split a yard between them anyway.
Service area
Lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down, not after, and overlap the seams by a few inches since Beachwood's sandy loam shifts enough that gaps let soil migrate up through the rock within a season. Skip fabric near foundation plantings you might want to change later, since pulling rock off fabric to replant is more work than just topping bare soil. Fabric is what turns this into the ten year install instead of a two year weed bed.
Rock traps leaves and pine needles instead of breaking them down, so plan on blowing or raking beds clear each fall, especially near tree cover close to Jakes Branch. Skipping this for a season or two builds a thin layer of decomposing debris on top of the fabric, which then lets weeds seed into the rock itself. A leaf blower on a low setting handles it faster than raking without disturbing the stone.
Order slightly more than your calculated yardage if you are running rock and mulch beds on the same property, since leftover rock never rots or needs replacing next season the way mulch does. It just sits in a pile or gets used for a small drainage fix around a downspout later. That flexibility makes rounding up a low risk call compared to over-ordering organic material.
Beachwood sits low and close to the bay, at 26 feet elevation, with sandy loam that drains almost too well for plants that want moisture retention. Rock does not care about that, it just sits on top and sheds water, which makes it a good match for the downspout runoffs and foundation strips common in this Shore Community's older ranch and cape homes. Near Jakes Branch County Park the ground stays sandy and loose too, so rock beds hold their line better than mulch that washes or blows in nor'easters off the bay. It is a one-time install that does not fight the sandy soil, it just sits above it.
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.
