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 standard 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard of landscape rock covers roughly 162 square feet at the shallow end of that range. For a typical Corpus Christi front bed or foundation border, most homeowners land between 2 and 5 cubic yards depending on how much of the yard is getting covered. Measure your bed square footage first, then work backward from the 162 square foot figure to land on a yard count.

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 instead of a weed patch, so budget for it if you do not already have it down. Edging, whether steel or paver, keeps rock from migrating into the lawn during heavy rain, which matters here given how hard Corpus Christi storms can push water across a yard. Some customers pair rock in the front beds with mulch in planted areas that need organic matter, since rock alone will not feed soil.
Service area
Lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down, not after, and overlap seams by a few inches since Corpus Christi's sandy clay shifts slightly with seasonal moisture swings. Skipping fabric means rock works its way into the clay within a year or two and becomes nearly impossible to clean out. Pin the fabric edges down before delivery day so wind off the bay does not lift it while you are spreading.
The most common mistake here is putting rock directly against plants that want organic matter, like azaleas or hydrangeas that are popular in this area. Rock traps leaf litter and heat against the base of those plants and starves the soil underneath since nothing breaks down into it. Keep rock to foundation lines, downspout aprons, and true low-maintenance beds, and use mulch anywhere you actually want the soil to improve over time.
Because this is a one time install rather than an annual refresh like mulch, it is worth ordering slightly more than the bare minimum so you are not paying for a second delivery over a small shortfall. A little extra rock also gives you a stockpile for future touch ups around new downspouts or bed expansions without measuring and ordering again from scratch.
Corpus Christi's sandy clay soil sheds water slowly, which means low spots near downspouts and foundations stay soggy after a coastal storm blows through. Rock over landscape fabric solves that by giving water somewhere to go instead of pooling against your slab. With growing zone 9b keeping things warm most of the year, organic mulches break down fast here, but rock does not, so it holds its look through the humidity and heat without turning to sludge. It is a common choice for front yards near the bay where salt air and wind make maintaining soft groundcover a losing battle.
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.
