Mulch Mound delivered a yard of pea gravel to us. Delivery was on time, driver was friendly and hit a bullseye on the “tarp target”. We used the pea gravel (which was diameter as specified) to fill several muskrat holes around our pond. I would definitely recommend Mulch Mound to a friend!
Stone and gravel projects depend on depth and use. Trace your path, patio, or drainage area with our satellite tool to estimate yardage at common depths. This helps avoid under-ordering heavy materials or paying for excess you don't need.

Stone handles paths and borders, but Carmel beds need more. Add mulch for weed control and soil to improve planting conditions on silt loam ground.
Permeable stone surfaces reduce stormwater runoff compared to solid concrete or asphalt and may qualify for environmental incentives, tax credits, or rebates in some Carmel area jurisdictions.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Butt landscape edging joints tightly together with no visible gaps between sections. Gaps let stone escape into lawn and allow weeds to enter. Overlapping joints work better than butt joints.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Slope all stone surfaces away from structures at minimum 1 inch per 4 feet of distance. Proper pitch prevents water from pooling against foundations and causing expensive moisture damage to your home.
The Unique Landscape of Carmel
Decorative stone is an easy way to upgrade function and curb appeal. Carmel freeze–thaw and spring rain can beat up beds if materials aren’t refreshed. In Carmel, Indiana, stone helps control mud, define spaces, and keep your landscape looking sharp. It’s great for edging, drainage zones, and decorative areas that need to stay put. Good base + grade + edging prevents ruts and keeps the finish clean. From pea gravel to river rock, size and shape change how it drains and how it stays put. Bulk delivery saves you the bag runs and puts the material right where you want it.
Frequently Asked Questions

Answer
What stone is best for drainage?
Larger angular stone like 1–2 inch crushed rock. Gaps allow water flow while edges lock together. In Carmel's clay subsoil, proper drainage stone matters.
Answer
Where will you drop the stone?
Wherever you want—driveway, side yard, curbside. Specify at checkout and include any helpful notes for our driver.
Answer
Can I leave special delivery notes?
Absolutely. Checkout includes space for gate codes, placement specifics, and other details. We review all notes.
Answer
How is delivery priced?
Pricing is based on distance. Cart shows an estimate; checkout with your address gives final pricing.
Answer
How do I install stone on a slope?
Angular crushed material grips better than round on slopes. Add terracing on steep grades. Carmel's 42-inch rainfall makes this important.
Answer
How do I clean stone beds?
Use a blower for debris, rake to redistribute. For stained stone, pressure washing does the trick.
