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 covers about 162 square feet at the standard 2 inch install depth, so a typical 300 square foot bed runs close to 2 cubic yards. If you want a deeper 3 inch layer for better weed suppression over Griffin clay, plan closer to 108 square feet per yard. Measure your bed in square feet first, then work backward from there.

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 yard is approximately 27 cubic feet. As a general guideline, one yard of material can cover an area of about 10 feet by 10 feet at a few inches deep.

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!

Landscape fabric underneath is what makes this a decade-long install instead of a five-year one, especially over Griffin's clay where weeds push through any gap. Edging, whether steel or paver, keeps the rock from migrating into the lawn after mowing season. Some customers pair a rock border with mulch in the planting beds themselves, keeping the two materials doing separate jobs.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Griffin's red clay compacts hard once it is wet, so do not skip the fabric step even if you are in a hurry. Lay it directly on graded, tamped clay, overlap seams by a few inches, and pin it every couple feet. Skipping fabric means the rock will slowly work itself down into the clay over a year or two, and then you are pulling stone out of mud instead of admiring a clean bed.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock does not feed your soil and it traps leaves instead of breaking them down, so keep it away from beds where you actually want plants pulling nutrients from organic matter. It is a strong choice for foundation lines and downspout areas, a weaker one for perennial beds. Plan on blowing or raking leaves out of it each fall, especially with the tree cover common in older Griffin neighborhoods.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Buying the full quantity in one delivery instead of doing it in stages saves you from color mismatch, since screened stone can vary slightly between batches depending on the quarry run. If your project covers a large area, order it all at once even if you plan to install in phases over a couple weekends.

Decorative Stone in Griffin

Griffin's red clay drains slow and turns to soup after a wet week, which makes rock a smart call around downspouts and low spots where mulch just floats away. With a zone 8a growing season that pushes long stretches of heat from May through September, organic mulch breaks down fast here, but rock does not care about the humidity. A lot of homes near the Bailey-Tebault House area use it along foundations where beds meet brick, since it sheds water away from the structure instead of holding it against the clay. It is also the better call for anyone tired of refreshing beds every year before the Iris City's spring bloom season.

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 with Griffin's clay soil?

Yes, and it actually performs better than mulch in a lot of clay-heavy spots because it does not hold moisture against the ground the way organic material does. Just make sure the bed is graded for drainage before you install, since rock sitting in a low spot over clay will still pool water after a heavy rain.

Answer

How much rock do I need for a 200 square foot bed?

At the standard 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 200 square foot bed needs a bit more than 1 cubic yard, roughly 1.25 yards. If you want a deeper 3 inch layer for better coverage over clay, plan on close to 1.85 yards instead.

Answer

When is the best time to install rock in Griffin?

Anytime the ground is not soaked works, but late fall after the first frost around November 6 or early spring before things green up in March tends to be easiest, since beds are cleared out and clay is easier to grade. Summer works too, just expect the clay to be harder to shape when it is dry.

Answer

Where will the rock be dropped and can the truck reach my yard?

The driver places the load at the curb, driveway, or another accessible spot you specify at checkout. Standard delivery trucks need decent clearance and a solid surface, so let us know if your access is tight or if you are on a gravel or dirt drive so we can plan for it.

Answer

Should I choose rock or mulch for a front bed near my house?

If the bed sits against your foundation or catches downspout runoff, rock is the better long-term choice since it will not need replacing every year and handles moisture better. If you have plants that benefit from organic matter breaking down into the soil, mulch is still the right call for those beds specifically.
