About this landscape rock

Smooth tumbled river rock, heavy enough to stay put in drainage runs and handsome enough for beds and borders.

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 heavier coverage or slope stability. Measure your bed's length and width, decide on depth, then order by the cubic yard rather than by the bag, since bulk delivery is almost always more efficient for anything over a few hundred square feet. Corner beds and curved borders in typical Fishers subdivisions usually run 2 to 6 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.

A ton is 2,000 pounds of material. As a general guideline, one ton of rock covers roughly 100 square feet at 2 inches deep, depending on rock size and density.

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 rock a decade long install instead of a weed farm, so it is worth pairing with your order. Steel or aluminum edging keeps stone from migrating into the lawn, especially useful where silt loam settles unevenly after heavy rain. Some customers also order a small amount of mulch for planting pockets within a rock bed, since rock alone won't feed anything growing in it.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

In Fishers' silt loam, skip laying rock directly on bare soil. The fine particles in silt loam migrate up through gaps in fabric over a few seasons if the base isn't compacted first. Lay landscape fabric over a lightly compacted sub base, pin it every few feet, then place rock at a full 3 inches in high traffic zones like walkway borders. This extra step is what separates a bed that still looks sharp in five years from one that's grown a crop of silt and weeds by year two.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake we see locally is treating rock beds like mulch beds and expecting them to feed nearby plants. Rock traps falling leaves from mature shade trees common in older Fishers neighborhoods, and if left through winter that leaf litter breaks down into a thin soil layer that seeds weeds. Blow or rake leaves off rock beds each fall before frost, ideally before that October 14 average, so debris doesn't sit trapped all winter.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you are pairing rock with foundation planting beds, order mulch separately for the actual planting pockets and keep rock for the perimeter and downspout runoff areas. This keeps your rock order lean, since rock priced by the cubic yard is a bigger investment than mulch and you don't want to cover square footage that would be better served by organic material feeding root zones near shrubs and perennials.

Decorative Stone in Fishers

Fishers sits on silt loam, a soil that compacts and drains slowly, which means beds along foundations and downspouts stay soggy well into spring. Rock over landscape fabric keeps that moisture from wicking up against siding and gives you a surface that will not wash out during Indiana's spring melt. It will not survive winters here any differently than anywhere else, but with a 6a frost line running roughly October 14 to April 22, freeze thaw cycling can shift loose stone if it is not set on fabric with a proper base. Once it is in, it stays put for years without the spring refresh mulch demands.

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

How much landscape rock do I need for a bed along my Fishers home's foundation?

Measure the bed's length and width, then multiply by your target depth. At 2 inches, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet. Most single side foundation beds in Fishers run 1 to 3 cubic yards, but measure first since lot sizes vary a lot between older Nickel Plate area homes and newer Geist subdivisions.

Answer

Will one delivery cover my whole yard or do I need multiple loads?

A single cubic yard covers about 162 square feet at 2 inches deep, so most whole yard rock projects need multiple cubic yards delivered at once rather than multiple deliveries. We recommend measuring all beds together and ordering the full total in one load to avoid a second delivery fee and downtime waiting for more material.

Answer

When is the best time of year to install landscape rock in Fishers?

Late spring after the last frost around April 22 or early fall before the first frost around October 14 both work well, since the ground is workable and not frozen or waterlogged. Avoid installing right after heavy spring rain when silt loam is saturated, since it complicates compacting a stable base under your fabric.

Answer

Where will the rock be dropped and do I need to be home?

You choose the drop location at checkout, typically a driveway or curb area near your project. You do not need to be present, but the area should be clear and accessible for the delivery truck, since we place the load and do not move it further onto the property.

Answer

Should I choose rock or mulch for beds around my downspouts?

Rock is the better choice around downspouts since it resists washing out during heavy runoff and does not break down or need replacing. Mulch around downspouts tends to float and scatter during Indiana's heavier spring rains, while rock stays in place over fabric and holds up to repeated saturation from silt loam runoff.
