Placing an order online was so easy. Delivery was on time. When the driver realized we had a newly poured driveway they erred on the side of caution and opted not ti drive in it. The company even sent me a message explaining that call. Would recommend!

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. For a deeper 3 inch layer, figure closer to 108 square feet per yard. Measure your bed's square footage first, then decide between 2 and 3 inches depending on whether you're covering fabric or bare clay soil that needs more coverage to suppress weeds.

Great service. We ordered topsoil from Mulch Mound and the best experience. Thank you so much!

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.
Landscape fabric underneath is worth adding if you want this to be a true decade-long install instead of a bed that grows weeds through bare clay. Steel or paver edging keeps rock from migrating onto the lawn during mowing, which matters more here where yards slope toward the street. A few cubic yards of mulch elsewhere in planting beds pairs naturally with rock in high-traffic zones like foundations and downspout areas.

In Cleveland's clay soil, skip the temptation to lay rock straight onto bare ground. Fabric matters more here than in sandy regions because clay holds water and pushes rock down into mud over a few winters, especially near downspouts where runoff concentrates. Lay fabric, pin it well, then install rock at 2 to 3 inches. This keeps the rock riding on top instead of sinking into the clay after a few freeze thaw cycles.
The most common mistake we see locally is installing rock too close to mature shade trees without planning for leaf drop. Forest City lives up to its name, and leaves collect in rock beds every October, trapping moisture against fabric and eventually growing moss. Plan on a fall blow-out or light raking each year, it takes ten minutes and keeps rock beds looking installed rather than neglected.
Rock is a one time material cost since it does not break down like mulch does, so buying the full amount you need up front, even at 3 inches for high-wear zones, saves you from ordering twice. Combine rock zones with mulch in planting beds on the same delivery when possible, since both are billed by the yard and a single trip covers the whole yard's needs.
Cleveland sits on heavy clay that drains slowly, and rock beds around downspouts and foundations handle that runoff without turning to mush the way bark mulch can after a wet spring. With a Zone 6b winter bringing repeated freeze thaw cycles from October through May, rock does not compact, wash out, or need replacing after ice melt like organic material does. It is a common choice here for front yard groundcover in older Cleveland neighborhoods where mature shade trees drop leaves into beds all fall, since rock does not decompose or grow moldy under wet leaf litter. It just needs occasional blowing out or raking to keep it from filling in like a leaf trap.
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.
