Wonderful experience! They put the mulch exactly where we wanted. This mulch spread very easily and didn’t have the usual “mulch smell.” We will definitely use again!

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 heavier foot traffic areas. Measure your bed in square feet, decide on depth based on how exposed the area is to runoff, then divide to find your yardage. Most Eugene front yard beds run half a yard to two yards depending on how much lawn is being converted.

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!
Great service. We ordered topsoil from Mulch Mound and the best experience. Thank you so much!
Landscape fabric underneath is what turns this into a decade long install instead of a weed patch, especially given how fast things sprout in Eugene's wet spring. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the rock from migrating into the lawn on sloped lots. Some customers pair a narrow rock border with bark mulch in the planting beds themselves, since the plants still want organic matter even if the perimeter does not.

Lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down, not after, and overlap seams by at least 6 inches since Eugene's clay soil holds moisture long enough for weeds to punch through gaps. Skip fabric near existing trees or shrubs you want to keep feeding, since it blocks water and organic matter from reaching their roots the way rock over bare soil does not.
The biggest mistake we see in Eugene yards is rock installed flush against siding without a gravel or French drain underneath. With silty clay slow to drain, water can wick up against foundations during the wet months. Leave a slight slope away from the house and consider a perforated drain pipe under heavy runoff zones before you spread the final layer.
Rock is priced by density, not volume, so a ton of rock covers less ground than a ton of bark since it weighs about 1.35 tons per cubic yard. Order slightly less than you think for tight budgets and expand a bed later, rather than overordering rock that then needs to be hauled off if plans change.
Eugene's silty clay soil holds water through the long wet stretch between October and April, which is exactly why rock outperforms bark around foundations and downspouts here. It will not break down or wash into the storm drain the way bark does after a heavy Willamette Valley rain. In zone 8b, freeze and thaw cycles are mild, so rock stays put once it is set instead of heaving or shifting. It is a common choice for the low slope beds around Eugene's older craftsman homes where drainage is already a fight.
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.
