One cubic yard covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, which is the standard install depth for most residential beds here. For a deeper 3 inch install around foundations or high traffic areas, plan closer to 108 square feet per yard. Measure your bed square footage first, then decide on depth based on how much water that area sees.

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-long install instead of a weed patch in two seasons. Edging keeps the stone from migrating into the lawn on sloped Boone lots, and a lot of customers pair rock beds with mulch in the planting areas nearby where soil actually needs to breathe.
Boone's rocky clay does not drain the way sandy soil does, so grade the bed slightly away from the foundation before laying fabric. If you skip this step, rock traps water against clay instead of shedding it, and you will see standing water after the heavy spring rains that come off Grandfather Mountain. A shallow swale under the fabric solves this permanently, it takes an extra hour and saves you from redoing the bed.
Rock is not an annual refresh like mulch, but it is not maintenance free either. Leaves from oak and maple canopies common around Boone collect in the stone every fall and will smother anything trying to grow beneath it if you do not blow or rake them out before winter. Plan on two cleanups a year, one after leaf drop and one in spring, or the bed starts looking neglected fast.
If your yard has both plant beds and permanent hardscape zones, split your budget. Use rock only where you actually want a decade-long, no-refresh surface, like foundation lines and downspout runouts, and keep mulch where plants need organic matter breaking down into that clay soil. Mixing materials by zone instead of covering everything in one saves money and keeps the beds that need feeding actually healthy.
Boone sits at 3,333 feet with rocky clay soil that already drains slowly and holds water after storms rolling off Grandfather Mountain. Landscape rock over fabric sheds that runoff instead of holding it against your foundation, which matters when freeze thaw cycles hit through a 6b winter. A lot of homes here are built into slopes, and rock holds a bed in place better than mulch does when heavy spring rain moves downhill. It is a solid choice for the parts of the yard where you are fighting erosion more than growing anything.
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.
