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!

One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, or a bit less if you go to 3 inches for better weed suppression. Measure your bed's length and width, multiply for square footage, then divide by 162 to get a rough yard count at standard depth. Most front yard beds in Berea run somewhere between half a yard and two yards depending on how much of the property you're converting.

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.
Landscape fabric underneath is what actually makes this a decade-long install instead of a weed patch by year two. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the rock from migrating into the lawn, especially useful on sloped lots around Berea where runoff pushes material downhill. Some customers also order a bit of mulch for the planting beds that still need organic matter, since rock and mulch usually split a property rather than compete for it.
In Berea's silt loam, skip skimping on the fabric barrier. Silt loam is fine grained enough that it migrates up through thin or torn fabric over a few wet seasons, and once soil works its way into the rock layer, weeds follow right behind it. Use a woven landscape fabric rated for heavier duty, overlap seams by at least six inches, and pin it every few feet. That upfront work is what separates a rock bed that still looks clean in year eight from one that needs to be dug out and redone.
The biggest mistake we see locally is installing rock right up against the house without a gap or grade check first. Berea gets heavy spring rain, and if the bed doesn't slope away from the foundation, rock just becomes a permanent puddle holder instead of a drainage solution. Check that the ground already pitches away from the house before you spread anything, and add a few inches of gravel base under the rock in low spots to keep water moving instead of sitting.
Because this is a one time install rather than an annual refresh like mulch, it pays to order the full depth you want on day one rather than doing a thin layer now and topping off later. A thin 1 inch layer wears down to bare fabric within a couple years under foot traffic or leaf litter, while a proper 2 to 3 inch layer holds its coverage for a decade. Buying the extra half yard upfront costs less over time than a second delivery down the road.
Berea sits at nearly 1,000 feet with a soil profile that's mostly silt loam, fine grained and quick to compact when it's wet. That combination makes rock a smart call around foundations and downspouts where runoff pools before it drains. A lot of the older homes near Berea College have narrow side yards where organic mulch breaks down fast and needs constant topping off, rock skips that cycle entirely. Once it's set over fabric it stays put through the wet Kentucky winters and the summer thunderstorms alike.
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.
