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

One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, or less if you go to 3 inches for better weed suppression. Measure your bed's length and width, decide on depth based on how much foot traffic or erosion you are dealing with, and order in full cubic yards since this is bulk delivered material, not bagged.

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.

A ton is 2,000 pounds of material. As a general guideline, one ton of rock covers roughly 100 square feet at 2 inches deep, depending on rock size and density.

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.

We have always spread our own mulch for the past 24 years. This was our first time with the Mulch Mound - things I liked: they have online ordering and provide a digital receipt which means you can remember how much you ordered (I always forget for the next year!), they were on time, they were able to deliver in 48 hours, they were generous with the portion (we got 9 yards and it felt like a FULL nine yards!), the driver was polite! We have ordered from reputable places, and there is always a little trash in the mulch. The mulch we recv'd from Mulch Mound had barely any... we were pleasant surprised!!! Color was great! Not to mention - the price was competitive and LOWER than other mulch places around. We will use again !! Highly recommend! Thanks Mulch Mound!

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Landscape fabric goes down first to keep the rock from sinking into the clay over time. Edging, whether steel or stone, keeps rock from migrating into the lawn during heavy rain. Some customers also order a load of mulch for planting beds nearby so the rock and organic areas stay visually separated and easy to maintain.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

In Cumming's clay soil, skip laying rock directly on bare ground. Water sits on clay longer than it does on sandy soil, and without fabric underneath, rock will slowly work itself down into the mud over a season or two, especially near downspouts. Lay heavy duty landscape fabric first, overlap the seams by a few inches, and pin it down before spreading rock. This single step is what separates a bed that still looks sharp in five years from one that needs to be redone.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake we see locally is treating rock beds like mulch beds and forgetting they trap leaves instead of breaking them down. With oak and hickory cover common around Forsyth County, fall leaf drop will bury a rock bed if it is not blown out regularly. Plan on a leaf blower pass every couple weeks from October through early December, since Cumming's first frost lands around November 5 and leaf drop often continues past that.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Buying rock by the cubic yard instead of in bags saves money on larger beds, but it also means committing to a look for the long haul since this is not a material you refresh each spring. If you are unsure on color, order a small test area first, since screened decorative stone can look different against Cumming's red clay backdrop than it does in a bag photo or a showroom bin.

Decorative Stone in Cumming

Cumming sits on heavy clay that drains slowly, so rock beds near the house or along downspouts need a base that will not compact into mud after a wet spring. With creeks running through so much of this area, a lot of yards deal with runoff paths that mulch just floats away in, rock stays put. It is also a one time install rather than a yearly chore, which matters here where the growing season runs long from April into November and there is not much of a slow season to redo beds. Once it is down over fabric it will outlast most of what is planted around it.

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

How much landscape rock do I need for a bed along my foundation in Cumming?

Measure the length and width of the bed, then multiply to get square footage. At a standard 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet. Foundation beds often benefit from the deeper end, around 3 inches, especially where downspouts drain, which reduces coverage per yard slightly but holds up better against runoff.

Answer

Will one cubic yard be enough for a small front bed?

It depends on size, but one cubic yard at 2 inches deep covers about 162 square feet, which handles most small to mid sized front beds in a single load. Measure first and round up rather than down, since running short mid project means a second delivery and a mismatched batch if the quarry's stock shifts.

Answer

When is the best time to install rock in Cumming?

Anytime the ground is not frozen or saturated works, and with a last frost around April 5 and first frost around November 5, that leaves a wide window. Many people install in late fall after leaf drop slows down, since rock is a one time project and there is no rush tied to a planting season the way there is with mulch.

Answer

Where will the rock be placed on delivery day?

The truck places the load as close to your work area as driveway or street access allows. Steep driveways, low tree limbs, or narrow gates can affect exact placement, so clear a path in advance. If you need it dropped in a specific spot, a driveway or curb area, let us know your access details when you order.

Answer

Should I choose rock or mulch for beds near my house in Cumming?

Rock makes sense for foundation beds, downspout areas, and spots where you want a permanent, low-maintenance look, since it will not break down or need replacing yearly. Mulch is better where you are planting shrubs or perennials that benefit from organic matter feeding into Cumming's clay soil over time. Many yards use both, rock near hardscape and mulch in true planting beds.
