I contacted Mulch Mound for #57 river rocks and it was easy and fast to get a delivery right before the holiday weekend. Stone was delivered as promised and place exactly where I asked. Excellent service! I will be ordering mulch next!

At a 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard of landscape rock covers roughly 162 square feet at the shallow end of that range. Measure your bed's square footage first, then decide if you want a lean 2 inch layer for a tight budget or a fuller 3 inch layer for better weed suppression. Because this is a one time install rather than a seasonal refresh, it pays to size the order right the first time.

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.
Landscape fabric underneath is what makes this a decade-long install rather than a rock pile sinking into silt loam, so lay it before the stone goes down. Edging along the bed line keeps rock from migrating into the lawn during mowing season. Some customers pair a rock border with mulch in planting beds nearby, since rock suits foundations and downspouts better than areas with heavy plantings that want organic matter.
Cookeville's silt loam compacts differently than the sandy soils rock suppliers usually talk about, so skip skimping on fabric prep. Lay a woven landscape fabric, not the cheap spunbond kind, before you spread stone, and overlap seams by a few inches. In this soil, a poorly bedded fabric lets silt work up through gaps within a season or two, and once fines mix into the rock layer, you cannot cheaply undo it.
The biggest mistake we see locally is installing rock right up against foundation plantings that need real organic matter. Rock traps falling leaves instead of breaking them down, which starves nearby shrubs and can smother small perennials over a winter. Keep rock beds for foundations, downspout runs, and low-maintenance stretches, and reserve mulch for anything you actually want to feed.
If you're covering a long foundation run and a separate downspout apron, order both in a single cubic yard calculation rather than two small orders. One delivered load spread across connected areas saves on wasted partial yards, and since this is a permanent install rather than something you're refreshing every spring, getting the total right the first time matters more than usual.
Cookeville sits in a silt loam belt, which drains slower than sandy soil and holds water after the spring rains that roll through before the April 15 last frost. Rock over fabric sheds that water instead of holding it against your foundation, which matters more here than in sandier regions. It also holds up fine through zone 7a winters without breaking down or floating like lighter mulch can in a hard freeze. Around Cummins Falls and the rest of the county, a lot of yards run on slopes, and rock stays put where organic mulch tends to migrate downhill in heavy rain.
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.
