We had a great experience today. This was our first time using Mulch Mound, and I found the price competitive and the online ordering very easy. We are impressed with the quality of the mulch, too! It is covering well - a great value!

At a standard 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard covers roughly 162 square feet at the shallower end of that range. A typical foundation bed running 20 feet by 4 feet needs a little over 2 yards at 2 inches, so most Beaufort front yard projects land somewhere between 2 and 5 yards depending on bed size. Measure your beds in square feet first, then work backward from the 162 square foot figure.

Getting started is easy — just follow these simple steps
Adjust the quantity to match your project. One cubic yard covers about 100 to 160 square feet at a 2 to 3 inch depth.

Delivery was smooth and on time!
The triple shredded mulch was great quality and just what we were looking for.
Very easy to place order online for our exact needs and very flexible for when we needed
Most rock beds in Beaufort go down over landscape fabric, so pick that up before delivery day if you don't already have it. Edging material, whether steel or paver, keeps the rock from migrating into the lawn during heavy rain. If you're working near foundation plantings, a border of mulch or soil amendment on the planting side keeps organic matter available where roots actually need it.
Lay landscape fabric before the rock, not after, and overlap seams by at least six inches since Beaufort's sandy soil shifts easily and gaps let weeds punch through within a season. Pin the fabric down every few feet, especially near the coast where wind off the water can lift loose edges before the rock is even spread. This one step is the difference between a bed that lasts a decade and one that needs weeding by summer.
The biggest mistake we see locally is installing rock too close to live oaks and pines without planning for leaf drop. Rock beds under heavy tree canopy fill with organic debris fast, and once leaves decompose into the gaps, weeds find a foothold anyway. Rake or blow beds clear every few months, particularly after fall drop and spring pollen season, to keep the rock doing its job instead of hosting a thin layer of compost.
Rock pairs well with a mulch border around actual plantings, since foundation beds rarely need organic material but flower beds do. Ordering both in one delivery saves a second trip, and staging them separately on your driveway makes install day faster. If your yard has both sun exposed rock areas and shaded planting beds, splitting the order this way gets each area the material it actually needs.
Beaufort's sandy soil already drains quickly, so rock beds here are less about managing water and more about controlling erosion and cutting down on weeds in that same loose ground. With zone 9a summers pushing heat and humidity for months, homeowners near the historic district and out toward Lady's Island lean on rock beds to reduce the mowing and mulching that organic material demands. It also holds up better than bark mulch during the tropical downpours that roll in off the coast. Just expect it to collect live oak leaves and pine straw, so plan on blowing beds clear a few times a year.
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.
