I contacted Mulch Mound for #57 river rocks and it was easy and fast to get a delivery right before the holiday weekend. Stone was delivered as promised and place exactly where I asked. Excellent service! I will be ordering mulch next!

At a standard 2 inch install depth, one cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet, so a 300 square foot bed runs close to 2 cubic yards. If you want a deeper 3 inch layer for better weed suppression on clay loam, figure closer to 108 square feet per yard. Measure your bed in square feet first, then match it to depth before ordering.

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 rock a decade-long groundcover instead of a weedy mess, so plan on that if you don't already have it down. Edging, whether steel or stone, keeps the rock from migrating into the lawn or driveway, which matters on the sloped yards around town. Some customers also order a thin bed of topsoil or compost for the planting pockets they leave within the rock.
Service area
Clay loam like Hillsdale's holds water, so grade your bed slightly away from the foundation before laying fabric, otherwise rock just sits over a soggy pocket and grows algae or moss in shaded spots. A shallow crown in the middle of the bed, even an inch or two, keeps water moving instead of pooling under the stone where you can't see it happening until the fabric starts to sag.
The most common mistake is skipping fabric to save money, then fighting weeds through the rock every summer. Once soil and rock mix, you can't cleanly separate them again, and the bed needs a full teardown to fix. Lay fabric first, overlap seams by a few inches, and pin it down before the stone goes on, it is the only step that actually determines how low maintenance this ends up being.
Rock pairs well with a mulched planting bed nearby rather than trying to make one material do everything, since plants that want organic matter struggle surrounded by stone. Keep rock to foundation lines, dry creek beds, and downspout aprons, and save mulch for beds with shrubs or perennials. That split use is how most Hillsdale yards actually end up looking balanced instead of all rock or all mulch.
Hillsdale sits on clay loam, which drains slowly and turns to mud in a wet spring around the Hillsdale Train Station area. Rock over landscape fabric keeps that soil from splashing onto siding and gives downspout runoff somewhere to go besides a puddle. With winters that push into the 20s and a first frost around Oct 29, rock also won't heave or wash out the way loose mulch can after a freeze thaw cycle. It works well in the tight foundation beds common on the older lots near the borough center where organic mulch just breaks down too fast anyway.
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.
