We had a great experience today. This was our first time using Mulch Mound, and I found the price competitive and the online ordering very easy. We are impressed with the quality of the mulch, too! It is covering well - a great value!

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 length and width, decide whether you want a 2 inch or fuller 3 inch depth, and order in full cubic yards since rock is heavy and partial loads are not worth the delivery trip. For most Deerfield Beach front yards and foundation borders, that puts a single load in the range of 3 to 6 cubic yards depending on bed size.

Landscaping fabric goes down first if you want the rock to stay a true decade-long groundcover instead of a weed magnet within a year. Edging, whether metal, paver, or poured concrete, keeps rock from migrating into St. Augustine lawns during heavy rain, which is common with the sandy grade here. Many Deerfield Beach customers pair rock borders with mulch beds around foundation plantings, using rock where drainage matters most and mulch where they want organic buildup.
Service area
In Deerfield Beach's sandy soil, skip skipping the fabric step. Without a barrier, rock settles into loose sand within a season and starts sinking instead of floating on top, which means you lose depth and end up seeing bare patches. Lay heavy-duty landscape fabric, overlap seams by a few inches, and pin it before spreading rock so the stone stays where you put it for years instead of months.
The most common mistake locally is piling rock right against stucco or siding without a gap. Salt air combined with trapped moisture behind rock beds can accelerate staining and mildew on exterior walls. Leave a few inches of clearance at the foundation line and slope the bed slightly away from the structure so rainwater runs off instead of sitting against the wall.
Rock is a one-time material cost with no annual refresh, unlike mulch that needs replacing every year or two in this climate. If budget matters, use rock in the highest-visibility, highest-drainage areas like front entry beds and downspout zones, and save mulch for planting beds further from the house where organic matter actually helps the plants.
Sandy soil in Deerfield Beach drains so well that organic mulches break down fast and need topping off almost every year, which is exactly the maintenance cycle rock skips. With a 10b growing zone pushing near year-round sun and heat, rock does not fade or cook down the way bark products do along south-facing beds. It is a common choice against foundations and around downspouts here, where sandy runoff can wash lighter material out of place after a heavy Florida downpour. It will not feed the soil, so it is better suited to low-maintenance beds than to areas planted with anything that wants regular organic matter.
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.
