About this landscape rock
Smooth tumbled river rock, heavy enough to stay put in drainage runs and handsome enough for beds and borders.

How Much Landscape Rock Do I Need?
How Much Landscape Rock Do I Need?
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, which is worth doing near foundations or downspouts where extra depth resists washout. Measure your bed length and width, multiply for square footage, then divide by 162 to get a rough yard count at standard depth. Round up slightly, since clay soil settling in Bozeman beds tends to eat a little material the first season.

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.

We have always spread our own mulch for the past 24 years. This was our first time with the Mulch Mound - things I liked: they have online ordering and provide a digital receipt which means you can remember how much you ordered (I always forget for the next year!), they were on time, they were able to deliver in 48 hours, they were generous with the portion (we got 9 yards and it felt like a FULL nine yards!), the driver was polite! We have ordered from reputable places, and there is always a little trash in the mulch. The mulch we recv'd from Mulch Mound had barely any... we were pleasant surprised!!! Color was great! Not to mention - the price was competitive and LOWER than other mulch places around. We will use again !! Highly recommend! Thanks Mulch Mound!
Complete Your Outdoor Project
Landscape fabric underneath is what keeps this a decade-long install instead of a yearly chore, so budget for it if you have not already got it down. Steel or paver edging keeps rock from migrating into lawn areas, which matters more here given how often snowplows and shoveling push material around foundation beds. Some customers also order a smaller load of bark mulch for planting pockets within the rock bed where they want shrubs to actually get organic matter.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip
In Bozeman's clay soil, skip laying rock directly over bare ground even if you are in a hurry. Fine clay particles migrate up through gaps in cheap fabric within a couple seasons and start mixing with the stone, turning a clean gray bed muddy and hard to weed. Use a heavier woven landscape fabric rated for at least ten years, overlap seams by several inches, and pin it every couple feet. It costs a bit more upfront but it is the difference between a bed that stays clean and one you are fighting by year three.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
The most common mistake locally is installing rock right up against siding without a gap. Bozeman gets heavy spring snowmelt runoff off rooflines, and rock packed tight to the foundation holds moisture against wood or stucco longer than mulch would. Leave a few inches of clearance or slope the rock slightly away from the house, and make sure downspout extensions actually clear the rock bed instead of dumping straight into it.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
If you are covering a large front yard, mix rock sizes intentionally rather than ordering one uniform load. A base layer of larger stone resists wind scatter better through Bozeman's gusty spring weather, while a smaller decorative topcoat gives you the clean look most people want near entryways. This also stretches your cubic yardage further than a single all-decorative order would.
Decorative Stone in Bozeman
Bozeman's clay soil holds water through the long snowmelt season, and a lot of yards near the Gallatin Valley end up with standing moisture against foundations well into May. Rock over landscape fabric solves that by giving water somewhere to drain instead of pooling in organic mulch. With a growing season that does not really open until after May 20, homeowners here are also drawn to a material that looks finished without waiting on plants to fill in. It is a common choice for the low-water, low-maintenance beds that show up all over the newer subdivisions between downtown and the Museum of the Rockies.
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.
