Easy to order, great service, and great product. We enjoy the final look of a very neglected beds we inherited!

At a 2 inch install depth, one cubic yard of rock covers about 162 square feet, so a typical 300 square foot front bed runs close to 2 cubic yards. Going to 3 inches for heavier drainage areas or slopes cuts that coverage down, so order a bit more if your bed sits low or catches downspout flow. Measure the bed in square feet first, then match it to depth before you order.

A yard is approximately 27 cubic feet. As a general guideline, one yard of material can cover an area of about 100-160 square feet at a 2-3 inch depth.

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.

Landscape fabric underneath is what makes this a decade-long install instead of a rock pile that sinks into the mud, so plan for it if you don't already have some down. Edging, whether steel or paver, keeps the rock from migrating into the lawn during heavy rain. A lot of Covington customers pair rock in the foundation beds with mulch in planting beds further out, using each material where it actually performs best.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay fabric before you spread rock, especially in Covington's silt loam, because rock without a barrier will slowly sink into the soil over a season or two as the ground shifts with wet and dry cycles. Fabric also stops silt from wicking up between the stones, which keeps the bed looking clean instead of muddy after the first big storm.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake locally is piling rock against siding or stucco without a gap. Covington's humidity and rain mean trapped moisture behind rock beds can lead to rot or pest issues at the foundation line. Leave a few inches of clearance and slope the bed slightly away from the house so water sheds outward instead of pooling against the wall.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock works best paired selectively rather than used everywhere on a property. Save it for foundation lines, downspout aprons, and low maintenance front beds, and use mulch or groundcover in planting beds where you want organic matter breaking down into the soil. This split approach means you're not overpaying for rock in areas where it won't outperform mulch anyway.

Decorative Stone in Covington

Covington's silt loam drains slower than sandy soil, and downspout runoff plus heavy Gulf storms can wash organic mulch right out of a bed. Rock stays put through that kind of water event and doesn't break down or compact into the soil the way bark does. It's a common choice near foundations and along the drip line of homes close to Bogue Falaya Park, where beds see runoff but owners want a clean, low maintenance look. Just know it sits on top of that silt loam rather than feeding it, so it's not the pick for beds where you want to build soil.

What Landscape Rock Is

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 vs Decomposed Granite

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.

Depth and Coverage

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

Will landscape rock hold up in Covington's rain and humidity?

Yes, screened rock doesn't wash out or break down the way mulch can, which matters here given how much rain the Northshore gets. It resists erosion from downspout runoff and won't mold or compact into the silt loam beneath it, as long as it has a fabric barrier underneath to keep it from sinking over time.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a 200 square foot bed?

At the standard 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 200 square foot bed needs a little over 1 cubic yard. Round up to about 1.5 cubic yards to account for depth variation and edges, especially if the bed has curves or slopes.

Answer

When is the best time to install rock in Covington?

Anytime works since rock isn't seasonal like mulch, but many people install before the wetter months hit in late fall so the bed is settled and draining properly before winter rain picks up. Avoid installing right after heavy rain when the soil underneath is still saturated and soft.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck place my rock?

We drop the load at the driveway, curb, or access point you specify when scheduling. Make sure there's clear truck access and enough space for the pile, and let us know if there are low branches, gates, or narrow drives that could limit where the truck can reach.

Answer

Should I choose rock or mulch for my Covington front yard?

It depends on the bed. Rock is the better choice near foundations, downspouts, and low maintenance areas where you want a one time install that lasts for years. Mulch is better where you're actively planting and want organic matter feeding the silt loam soil underneath as it breaks down.
