Easy to order, great service, and great product. We enjoy the final look of a very neglected beds we inherited!

One cubic yard covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, which is the standard install for groundcover beds. For a heavier 3 inch depth against a foundation or in a high traffic bed, plan closer to 108 square feet per yard. Measure your bed length by width first, then decide depth based on whether it is decorative or functional drainage work.

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.

I recently ordered from mulch mound and was thoroughly impressed with every aspect of the experience. The entire process, from placing the order to delivery was seamless and efficient. The mulch arrived exactly on time, and the quality exceeded my expectations. The color was rich and consistent, and I received more than enough to complete my project with proper coverage and packing.

Customer service was equally outstanding. Communication was clear, and the team was responsive and professional throughout. It’s rare to find a company that delivers both a high-quality product and excellent service, but mulch mound did just that.

Highly recommended, and I wouldn’t hesitate to order from them again.

Landscape fabric underneath is what makes this a one time install instead of a yearly chore, so budget for it if you don't already have it down. Edging material keeps the rock from migrating into the lawn or a gravel drive, which is a common issue on Farmington's sloped older lots. If you're working around plants that want richer soil, keep the rock to hardscape zones and use mulch where things are actually growing.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

In Farmington's silt loam, water moves slower than people assume, so if you're placing rock against a foundation, slope the base slightly away from the house before laying fabric. Skipping this step is the number one reason people end up with standing water under the stone a year later. A couple inches of fall over a few feet is enough, you don't need a dramatic grade.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake we see is skipping fabric to save a step, thinking rock alone will block weeds. Without it, silt loam works its way up between the stones within a season or two and you're pulling weeds out of gravel by hand, which is worse than pulling them from mulch. Fabric first, every time, even on small beds.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock is a one time cost compared to mulch you replace annually, so if you're deciding between the two for a long term bed, factor in that you won't be reordering this every spring. It pairs well with mulch in the same yard, use rock for foundation strips and downspout zones, save the mulch budget for actual planting beds where soil health matters.

Decorative Stone in Farmington

Farmington sits on silt loam that drains slower than sandy soil, so beds near the house can stay damp longer than people expect, and rock against the foundation helps move water away instead of holding it against the walls. With winter lows that push into frost by mid October and stay there into April, organic mulches compress and wash out over a freeze thaw cycle, but stone stays put. Around here that matters most on the downspout runs and the front beds facing the Courthouse Square side of town, where a lot of the older lots have tight drainage.

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

Will landscape rock work against my house foundation in Farmington's soil?

Yes, and it's one of the most common uses here. Silt loam drains slower than sandy soil, so rock against the foundation with a slight slope away from the house helps move water off instead of holding it against the walls like mulch can over time.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a 200 square foot bed?

At a standard 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 200 square foot bed needs a little over 1.2 yards. Round up to about 1.5 yards to have enough for edges and uneven spots without running short.

Answer

Is there a bad time of year to install rock in Farmington?

Rock can go down anytime the ground isn't frozen solid, so outside of the deep winter stretch after the October frost, you're fine. Many people install in fall before frost hits, since it's a one time job and there's no rush tied to a growing season.

Answer

Where will the delivery be placed and what should I clear beforehand?

The load is dropped in your driveway or another spot you specify at checkout. Clear that area ahead of time and make sure there's a reasonable path to the bed if you're moving material by wheelbarrow, since the truck won't drive across the lawn.

Answer

Should I use rock or mulch for my front bed?

It depends on what's planted there. Rock is a one time install that lasts for years but doesn't feed the soil, so it's better for foundation strips, downspout areas, and low maintenance groundcover. If you have plants that benefit from organic matter breaking down, mulch is still the better call for those specific beds.
