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 a bit less if you go to 3 inches for better weed and erosion control. Measure your bed length by width, decide on depth based on how much foot traffic or drainage flow the area gets, then divide the square footage by 162. Most Dickinson front beds and downspout runs fall between 2 and 5 cubic yards.

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.

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 underneath is what makes this a decade long install instead of a rock pile that sinks into the clay loam. Steel or aluminum edging keeps it corralled along driveways and walkways, and a strip of mulch in planting beds nearby lets you keep organic matter where roots actually need it.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

In Dickinson's clay loam, skip laying rock directly on grade. Grade the bed slightly away from the foundation first, then lay landscape fabric before spreading rock. Clay loam holds water at the surface longer than sandy soils, and rock without fabric will slowly work itself down into the mud during heavy Gulf Coast rain events, losing depth and letting weeds root through from below within a year or two.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake locally is using rock in beds with shrubs or perennials that want organic matter. Rock traps falling leaves and pine needles, forming a decomposing layer that mulch would normally absorb into soil. Reserve rock for foundation lines, downspout aprons, and no-plant zones, and keep mulch in beds where you are actually feeding root systems.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your full quantity in one delivery rather than staggering small loads. This is a one time install, not a seasonal refresh like mulch, so getting the depth right the first time across the whole bed avoids color mismatches between batches and saves you a second delivery fee down the road.

Decorative Stone in Dickinson

Dickinson sits low, at just 17 feet elevation, so drainage around the house matters more than in higher ground towns. Clay loam soil here compacts and sheds water instead of absorbing it, which means rock beds around downspouts and foundations actually perform better than mulch that mats down and holds moisture against siding. With a frost window that only runs from mid December to mid February, rock also stays put and looks the same in every season instead of freezing and thawing like it would further north. It is a common choice for front yard beds that need to look finished without seasonal upkeep.

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

Does landscape rock work well in Dickinson's clay soil?

Yes, rock actually performs better than mulch in Dickinson's clay loam because it does not hold moisture against the soil or compact over time. Used along foundations and downspouts where clay already drains slowly, rock creates a stable surface that sheds water instead of trapping it, which helps protect your foundation during heavy rain.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a downspout apron and a front bed?

A typical downspout apron runs about 20 to 30 square feet, needing roughly a fifth of a cubic yard at 2 inches. A front bed of 300 square feet needs close to 2 cubic yards at the same depth. Measure both areas, add them together, then divide total square footage by 162 to get your order size.

Answer

When is the best time to install rock in Dickinson?

Anytime outside of the wettest weeks works, since rock is a one time install rather than a seasonal task. Many homeowners install after the last frost around mid February when the ground has dried out some, but because rock is not tied to a planting season, you can schedule it whenever your project timeline allows.

Answer

Where will the rock be dropped and what should I prepare?

The load is placed at your driveway or another accessible spot you specify during checkout. Clear a path for wheelbarrow access to the install area beforehand, since rock is dense and heavy to move by hand across a full yard, and make sure any gates or narrow side yards can accommodate a loaded wheelbarrow.

Answer

Should I choose rock or mulch for my front beds?

It depends on what is in the bed. Rock suits foundation lines, downspout aprons, and low maintenance zones without plants, since it lasts for years without a refresh. Mulch suits beds with shrubs or perennials that benefit from organic matter breaking down into the clay loam. Many Dickinson yards use both, rock near the house and mulch further out in planting beds.
