Easy to order, great service, and great product. We enjoy the final look of a very neglected beds we inherited!

One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, which is the standard install depth for most beds. If you want it a bit deeper, at 3 inches you will get closer to 108 square feet per yard, so measure your bed and pick your depth before you order. Most Binghamton front yard beds run somewhere between 1 and 3 cubic yards depending on size.

A yard is approximately 27 cubic feet. As a general guideline, one yard of material can cover an area of about 100-160 square feet at a 2-3 inch depth.

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.

Landscape fabric underneath is what makes rock a decade-long install instead of a weedy mess, so lay it before the stone goes down. A lot of customers pair rock beds with edging to keep the stone from migrating into the lawn, and if you have planting beds mixed in with the rock areas, keep a separate load of topsoil or mulch on hand for those since rock does not feed the soil the way organic material does.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down, not after, and overlap the seams by a few inches. In Binghamton's climate, freeze thaw cycles work fabric edges loose faster than in milder regions, so pin it every 12 inches rather than the usual 18. Skimping here means weeds pushing through by the second summer and rock that is much harder to lift and relay.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock beds here trap maple and oak leaves all fall, and if you leave them, they mat down into a layer that holds moisture right at the stone's surface. Plan on blowing or raking leaves out of rock beds at least twice between October and when the ground freezes, otherwise you are looking at organic buildup that defeats the low-maintenance point of going with rock in the first place.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If your bed touches the house foundation, keep rock at least a few inches below siding or brick to avoid moisture wicking up during spring thaw, when Binghamton's silt loam holds a lot of water near the surface. Ordering the full yardage in one delivery instead of buying bags over several weekends also means consistent color throughout the bed, since stone can vary slightly between batches.

Decorative Stone in Binghamton

Binghamton's silt loam drains slower than sandy soil, so beds near downspouts and along foundations tend to stay damp longer into spring, which is exactly where rock earns its keep over mulch. With first frost landing around October 5 and the ground staying cold into May, organic mulch breaks down slowly here anyway, so a lot of homeowners are switching low-traffic beds over to stone and being done with it. Rock also handles the freeze thaw heaving that silt loam is prone to better than a soil amendment would. It is a common choice around the foundations of the older frame houses near downtown and up toward Ross Park.

What Landscape Rock Is

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 vs Decomposed Granite

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.

Depth and Coverage

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

Will landscape rock actually last through a Binghamton winter without shifting?

Yes, once it is down over fabric it stays put through freeze thaw cycles far better than mulch does. The stone itself does not break down or get pushed around by frost heave the way soil can, though you may need to top off low spots near downspouts every few years as fabric settles.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a 200 square foot front bed?

At the standard 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 200 square foot bed needs a little over 1 cubic yard, call it 1.25 yards to have enough for full edge coverage. If you want a deeper 3 inch layer, plan closer to 2 yards.

Answer

Is there a bad time of year to install landscape rock here?

Late fall right before the October 5 first frost is workable but not ideal, since you will be fighting falling leaves right after install. Spring after the ground firms up in May tends to be easier, but rock installs fine any time the ground is not frozen or saturated.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck place the rock, and do I need a clear driveway?

You choose the drop location at checkout, typically the driveway or curb, and it helps to have that spot clear and accessible before the truck arrives. If your access is tight, narrow driveways near some of the older downtown lots, let us know the layout so we can plan the drop appropriately.

Answer

Should I use landscape rock or mulch around my foundation plantings?

If the bed has plants that want organic matter and moisture, mulch is the better fit since rock traps leaves and never feeds the soil. But for straight foundation coverage with no plantings, or areas around downspouts where mulch washes out, rock is the more permanent, lower-maintenance choice.
