Wonderful experience! They put the mulch exactly where we wanted. This mulch spread very easily and didn’t have the usual “mulch smell.” We will definitely use again!

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 for better weed suppression. Measure your bed's length and width, multiply for square footage, then divide by 162 to get a rough cubic yard count at standard depth. Most Conneaut front beds and downspout areas run somewhere between half a yard and two yards depending on the house.

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!
Great service. We ordered topsoil from Mulch Mound and the best experience. Thank you so much!
Landscape fabric underneath is what makes this a one time install instead of a weed patch by year two. Edging material helps keep rock from migrating into the lawn, especially on the sloped yards common near the harbor bluffs. If you have planting beds mixed in with rock areas, keep them separate with a metal or paver edge.
Service area
Lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down, not after, and overlap the seams by several inches. In Conneaut's silt loam, skipping fabric means the rock slowly works itself into the soil over a couple wet seasons and you end up with a muddy gray mess instead of a clean bed. Pin the fabric down every few feet so wind off the lake doesn't lift the edges before you get rock on top.
The biggest mistake locally is putting rock right up against foundation plantings that need real soil moisture and nutrients. Rock traps leaves in fall, and with Conneaut's tree cover that means raking or blowing debris out from the stone every October before first frost, otherwise you get a wet mat sitting on the rock all winter that can stain it and encourage mold.
If you are doing rock near a vegetable or perennial bed, keep the rock zones and organic mulch zones physically separated with an edge, because rock migrating into planting soil is a pain to sift out later. Pairing rock in the low maintenance zones with mulch where you actually want things to grow saves you from redoing sections down the road.
Conneaut sits on silt loam that drains slowly, especially with lake effect snow melt running off through April, so beds near the house tend to stay wet and mushy longer than people expect. Rock over landscape fabric solves that by keeping foundation beds dry and walkable even in a wet Lake Erie spring. It is also a good match for the harbor area's older homes with downspouts that dump straight into narrow side yards. Just keep in mind it will not feed your soil the way mulch does, so keep it away from anything you want to actually grow.
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.
