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!

Landscape rock is sold by the cubic yard, and one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet at the standard 2 inch install depth. For heavier coverage or areas that see runoff, like around downspouts common on Dalton's clay lots, plan for closer to 3 inches, which drops your coverage per yard down accordingly. Measure your bed square footage first, then work backward from the depth you want.

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.
Landscaping fabric underneath is what makes this a decade-long install instead of a weed patch, so it is worth laying before the rock goes down. Edging keeps the rock out of your lawn and out of Dalton's clay when heavy rain pushes water across a bed. Some customers pair a rock border with mulch in planting beds further from the foundation, keeping rock where drainage matters most.
Dalton's red clay does not drain fast, so grade your bed slightly away from the foundation before laying fabric and rock. Without that slope, water sits under the rock layer during our wetter months and the clay underneath stays saturated, which can undermine fabric over time. A couple inches of fall across a 10 foot bed is enough to keep water moving instead of pooling against your house.
The biggest mistake we see is skipping fabric to save a step, then fighting weeds pushing up through rock within a year. Clay soil in this area is full of dormant seed and weeds root right through bare rock beds. Lay a commercial grade fabric, overlap seams by several inches, and pin it down before you spread anything, since this is the one shortcut that costs the most later.
Because this is a one-time install rather than an annual refresh like mulch, it pays to order slightly generous rather than short. A partial second delivery later costs more in time and hassle than a little extra rock sitting in reserve. If you are also mulching planting beds elsewhere on the property, scheduling both deliveries together is worth asking about.
Dalton's red clay holds water and compacts hard, so a lot of homeowners here are moving beds away from organic mulch toward rock that will not break down or wash into the clay. With Zone 8a summers and a growing season that runs late April to early November, rock also does not attract the fungus and rot issues that wood mulch can in our humid stretches. It works well tucked against foundations and downspouts around Dalton's older brick homes where clay soil already holds moisture close to the house. It is not the pick for beds where you want the soil actively feeding shrubs or perennials.
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.
