One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, or less if you go to the full 3 inches for better weed suppression. Measure your bed's length and width, decide on depth based on how much foot traffic or drainage it needs, and order in full cubic yards since partial yards are hard to estimate precisely. Most front yard beds in Centralia run somewhere between 2 and 5 cubic yards depending on how much lawn is being converted.

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.
Landscaping fabric goes down first if you want this to actually last a decade without weeds working through, and edging material keeps the rock from migrating into the lawn or beds nearby. Some customers pair rock beds with a load of topsoil for the planting pockets they leave for shrubs, since rock alone does nothing for the plants sitting in it.
Service area
Lay landscaping fabric before the rock goes down, not after, and overlap seams by at least 6 inches since Centralia's wet winters will find any gap and let silt loam work up through it over a season or two. Skipping fabric means you are pulling grass and weeds out of gravel by hand within a year, which is miserable work compared to doing it right the first time.
The biggest mistake we see is treating rock beds like mulch beds and piling leaves and debris on top without clearing them. Rock traps organic matter instead of breaking it down, so leaf litter builds a thin soil layer on top of the stone within a couple seasons, and that is exactly where weed seeds germinate. A blower or a quick rake through in late fall keeps the bed doing its job through the wet season.
Rock is a one time cost compared to mulch you replace annually, so it pays for itself over several years even though the upfront yardage costs more per cubic yard. If budget matters, use rock in the high visibility front beds near the house and save cheaper bark or mulch for side yards or areas that get replanted often, since rock is a pain to remove once it is down.
Centralia's silt loam drains slower than sandy soil, so rock beds near foundations and downspouts help move water away from the house instead of letting it pool against the framing. With wet falls starting around the October frost date and a long damp winter, rock stays put where organic mulch would compact and wash. A lot of homes in the older neighborhoods near the Downtown Historic District use rock beds along walkways and foundations because they do not need refreshing before the rains hit. It also handles the freeze thaw swings through zone 8b winters without breaking down.
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.
