At a 2 inch install depth, one cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet, so a typical 200 square foot bed runs a bit over a yard. Going to 3 inches for heavier foundation coverage drops that yard's coverage closer to 110 square feet. Measure the bed footprint first, then match depth to how much wear or drainage the spot actually gets.

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.

I couldn't be happier with the speed and quality of the mulch delivery service of Mulch Mound. Every detail from ordering, to communication with on time delivery, to perfect product placement was amazing. I needed more and I got it within 2 hours! I'm never doing this with bags again.
Landscape fabric underneath is what makes this a one time install instead of a weed problem waiting to happen, so budget for it if you don't already have it down. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the rock from migrating into the lawn on sloped Greer lots. If any part of the bed is meant to feed plants rather than just cover ground, keep a mulch zone separate since rock and organic matter don't mix well long term.

Greer's red clay compacts hard once it's wet, so don't skip the fabric barrier even if the bed looks firm. Without it, rock slowly presses into the clay over a season or two and you end up with bare spots where fabric would have kept the layer intact. Lay fabric, overlap seams by a few inches, then place rock at your target depth. This is the step that makes the install last a decade instead of three years.
The most common mistake on rock beds here is piling it against siding or foundation without a gap. Between summer humidity and the freeze thaw cycle Greer gets each winter, moisture trapped against wood or vinyl siding causes problems rock alone won't fix. Leave a couple inches of clearance at the base of the structure and slope the bed slightly away from it so water sheds instead of sitting.
If you're covering a large front yard area, mixing rock with a mulched planting zone can cut your total yardage without losing the low-maintenance look. Use rock for the high-traffic or downspout-heavy sections and reserve mulch for beds where you actually want plants to root into real soil. It also breaks up a large all-rock yard visually, which matters more on the open lots outside the Greer Station district.
Greer's red clay drains slowly, so beds that stay soggy after a storm are common, especially on the flatter lots outside the historic district. Rock over landscape fabric keeps that clay from turning into a mud problem right against your foundation. It also holds up through zone 8a's swing from summer downpours to the occasional winter freeze without breaking down or needing a refresh. For downspout zones and low-maintenance front yards, it is one install that stays put.
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.
