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!

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, multiply for square footage, then divide by 162 to get a rough yard count at 2 inches, and scale down slightly if you're going closer to 3 inches deep. Most front-yard groundcover beds in Dothan run somewhere between 2 and 5 cubic yards.

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.
Landscape fabric underneath is what turns this into a decade-long install instead of a weed patch, so plan on that as a companion order. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the rock from migrating into the lawn, especially useful in sandy loam where borders shift more than in heavier soil. If you're mixing rock zones with planting beds nearby, a load of mulch for the organic side pairs well without competing for the same footprint.

In Dothan's sandy loam, skip skimping on landscape fabric prep. Rake the bed smooth and remove roots before laying fabric, because sandy soil shifts more than clay and any lump under the fabric telegraphs through the rock within a season. A flat, compacted base is what makes this a decade-long install instead of a five-year one.
The biggest mistake we see locally is installing rock right up against irrigation heads or downspout outlets without a buffer. Water moving through sandy loam at speed can undercut the rock bed at these points, leaving bare patches. Leave a small gravel or splash-block transition zone at any water discharge point before you spread the rock.
If you're covering a large front yard, consider mixing rock with mulch by zone rather than picking one material for the whole property. Rock along foundations and high-traffic edges resists the region's long growing season maintenance cycle, while mulch in planting beds still feeds the soil where you actually want organic matter breaking down.
Dothan's sandy loam already drains well, so rock does not sit in standing water the way it might in heavier clay soils further north. That means less risk of the stone settling unevenly or growing algae in low spots. With a growing season that runs long, from a late February last frost to a mid November first frost, organic mulch breaks down fast here and needs regular topping off. Rock skips that cycle entirely, which is why it works well against Landmark Park style foundation plantings and downspout runs where homeowners want a permanent, low-fuss edge.
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.
