At the standard 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard covers roughly 162 square feet at the shallow end of that range. A typical 200 square foot front bed runs a little over a yard, so most Hot Springs homeowners order 1 to 2 yards depending on bed size and whether they are going 2 or 3 inches deep. Measure length by width first, then decide on depth based on how much weed and erosion control you want.

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 goes down first and matters more with this material than almost any other, since rock traps leaves and silt loam fines instead of letting them wash through. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the stone from migrating into the lawn on sloped lots. A lot of customers also order a few bags of soil or compost separately for the planting pockets they leave inside the rock.
Service area
Hot Springs silt loam sheds water slowly, so grade your bed with a slight slope away from the foundation before you lay fabric. If the bed sits flat, rock traps runoff against the house instead of shedding it, and that moisture works against the fabric over years. A few minutes with a rake to establish pitch now saves you from soggy pockets and shifting stone later, especially near downspouts where volume concentrates fast.
The most common mistake we see locally is skipping fabric because rock looks fine without it the first season. By year two, silt loam fines work up through the gaps and support weed germination right in the stone bed. Since this is meant to be a one time install rather than an annual refresh, put the fabric down correctly from the start. Pulling rock back up to add fabric later costs far more time than doing it right once.
If you are covering a large front yard bed, consider mixing rock sizes rather than one uniform product, larger stone along walkway edges resists scattering from foot traffic and mower wheels, while smaller screened rock fills the interior for a tighter look. This also stretches your cubic yardage slightly since larger stone has less pore space per yard than fine gravel.
Hot Springs sits on silt loam that holds water and compacts easily, especially on the slopes common around this city's hillier neighborhoods. Rock over fabric keeps that heavy soil from splashing onto siding and stops erosion on grade changes near downspouts. In zone 8a, the ground rarely freezes hard, so there is no frost heave to worry the base over winter. It is a strong match for the low-maintenance, foundation-facing beds that dominate front yards near the National Park.
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.
