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

At a 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard covers roughly 162 square feet at the shallow end of that range. Measure your bed in square feet, divide by 162, and round up before you order since rock settles a bit once it is walked on or compacted by rain. Most Georgetown front beds run 100 to 300 square feet, so that is usually one to two 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.

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 the difference between a decade long groundcover and a rock bed full of weeds by next summer. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the stone off the lawn and out of the silt loam, which otherwise wants to swallow the border over a season or two. A lot of customers also order a bit of topsoil for the planting pockets they leave inside the rock for shrubs.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Georgetown's silt loam holds water at the surface longer than sandy soil would, so lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down, not after. Skipping fabric here means silt works up through the stone within a year or two and you end up with a muddy rock bed instead of a clean one. Fabric also keeps the rock from sinking into the soil during our wetter spring stretch before last frost.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake we see locally is installing rock right up against the house foundation without a gap or without checking the grade first. Water needs somewhere to go, and stone packed tight against siding traps moisture behind it. Leave a few inches of clearance and make sure the bed still slopes away from the foundation before you spread the first scoop.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Buying rock in bulk cubic yards instead of bagged stone saves you from stacking pallets in the truck bed, and it is worth ordering slightly more than your calculation since leftover rock never goes bad. Unlike mulch, it just sits in a pile until your next bed. Combine your rock order with edging or fabric delivery if you can, since fewer trips means less compaction on the lawn from equipment.

Decorative Stone in Georgetown

Georgetown sits on silt loam that compacts and drains slowly after the spring rains that roll through before our April 15 last frost. That kind of soil holds moisture right at the surface, which is exactly why rock beats mulch in low spots and along foundation lines here. Homeowners near the Horse Capital's newer subdivisions are using it for front yard beds that do not need replacing every year, and it holds up fine through our freeze thaw swings each winter. It is not for beds where you want the soil built up over time, it is for beds you want to stop maintaining.

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 Georgetown's clay and silt soil?

Yes, rock actually performs better than mulch in our silt loam because it does not break down or hold moisture against plant stems the way organic mulch does. The soil here already drains slowly, so a rock bed with fabric underneath keeps water moving instead of pooling at the surface. It is a solid choice for foundation beds and downspout areas.

Answer

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

At 2 inches deep, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 200 square foot bed needs a little over one cubic yard. Round up to 1.5 yards to account for settling and uneven bed edges. If you want 3 inches of depth instead, plan closer to 2 full yards.

Answer

When is the best time to install landscape rock here?

Anytime the ground is not frozen works, but late spring after our April 15 last frost or early fall before October gives you dry, workable soil for laying fabric properly. Avoid installing right after heavy rain since silt loam turns soft and makes it hard to get a flat, even base under the stone.

Answer

Where will the rock be dropped and do I need to move it myself?

The load is placed in your driveway or another accessible spot you specify at checkout, and it is on you or your crew to move it from there to the bed. Make sure the delivery area is clear and wide enough for a truck, especially if you are on a narrower street near downtown Georgetown.

Answer

Should I choose landscape rock or mulch for my front bed?

Rock is the better call if you want a one time install and do not need the bed to feed the soil, especially near foundations or downspouts where our silt loam already holds moisture. Mulch is still the right choice around plants that benefit from organic matter breaking down each season. Many Georgetown yards use both, rock up front and mulch in planting beds.
