    I used Mulch Mound to have 3 cubic yards of garden soil delivered. The process was easy and I love that I didn't have to call anyone. I placed my order online, picked my delivery date, laid out my tarp and the dirt was delivered. My delivery had to be pushed back, but I was kept informed via text, which was great. So why not 5 stars? The description of garden soil on the website is "A balanced mix of topsoil and organic amendments ready for raised beds, flower gardens, and new planting areas. Good drainage, solid nutrients, easy to work with." What I got was more like fill dirt. It had a lot of gravel, a lot of clay, and random trash mixed in. I didn't test the soil to see if it actually had "amendments" because I already have compost and alpaca manure ready to add, but if I'd known the quality of the dirt was going to be the same as the bagged dirt I bought last year, I probably would have gotten 2 yards of top soil and a yard of leaf compost for better quality, especially since the leaf compost is cheaper.

    Measure length and width in feet, then multiply by your planned depth converted to feet, such as 0.25 for three inches. Divide the result by 27 to get cubic yards, and remember that stone is sold by weight as often as by volume. Add ten percent for the compaction and settling that always happens in the first month.

    Heavy woven landscape fabric and steel edging keep stone from sinking into damp silt loam or drifting off the edges during a downpour. Pair a gravel drainage channel with mulched beds alongside it for a finished look that handles Hot Springs rain.

    Mulch Mound Pro Tip

    Size your stone to the water it will carry. A drainage channel that handles routine rain fine can move an inch and a half of gravel like marbles when Hot Springs gets three inches overnight. For any channel collecting runoff from a roof plus a slope, step up to three to six inch river rock in the center and anchor the outlet with a few larger cobbles so the whole run does not unravel from the bottom up.

    Mulch Mound Pro Tip

    Compact in lifts and never all at once. Spreading six inches of crushed base and running a plate compactor over the top only firms the upper two inches, leaving a soft layer beneath that will settle after our first wet winter. Place three inches, wet it lightly, compact, then repeat. The extra hour on install day saves you from re leveling pavers two years later.

    Mulch Mound Pro Tip

    Plan for pine and oak litter before you install. Hot Springs yards drop a heavy load of needles and leaves from October through November, and that debris composts fast in the local humidity, seeding weeds right on top of your clean gravel. Use a leaf blower rather than a rake so you move the litter without pulling stone, and consider larger stone sizes in heavily wooded areas since they blow clean more easily.

    The Unique Landscape of Hot Springs

    Water management drives most stone projects in Hot Springs, because 57 inches of annual rain moving down Ouachita hillsides carves ruts through mulch and turf in a single season. Gravel swales, dry creek beds, and rock aprons give that runoff a hard surface to travel on instead of your topsoil. Stone also solves the shade problem common in a town full of mature pine and oak, where grass will not grow but a clean gravel path always looks intentional. Because the local silt loam packs tight, a compacted base of crushed stone is essential under any patio, walkway, or driveway you want to stay level. Unlike mulch, stone does not decompose in our humidity, so it holds its place year after year. For steep lots and heavy rain, it is often the only material that stays put.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Click a question to see the answer

    Answer

    What size gravel works best for a driveway on a Hot Springs hillside?

    Use a compacting crushed stone with fines, commonly sold as base or crusher run, rather than round river rock. Round stone rolls downhill during our heavy rain and ends up in the street. On grades over about ten percent, install the base in two lifts with compaction between them so it locks in place.

    Answer

    How do I stop runoff from washing out my beds after a storm?

    A rock lined swale or dry creek bed is the standard fix in Hot Springs. Dig a shallow channel along the natural flow path, line it with fabric, place three to six inch river rock in the center, and taper smaller stone at the edges. Sizing the rock to the flow is key, since one to two inch stone will simply relocate during a two inch rain event.

    Answer

    Will gravel work in the shade under my pines where grass fails?

    Yes, and it is one of the most practical solutions in a town with this much tree canopy. Just plan on blowing or raking pine needles off two or three times a year, because organic debris breaks down in Hot Springs humidity and creates a soil layer that grows weeds. A three inch depth over quality fabric keeps maintenance low.

    Answer

    How deep should my base be for a patio or walkway here?

    Plan on four to six inches of compacted crushed base under a walkway and six inches or more under a patio. Our silt loam holds water and shifts, so skimping on base thickness leads to settled, wobbly pavers within a couple of wet seasons. Add an inch of leveling sand on top before setting stone.

    Answer

    Does landscape fabric actually help under stone in this climate?

    It helps considerably by keeping stone from sinking into wet silt loam, which is the main way gravel areas disappear over time in Hot Springs. It will not stop weeds forever, because leaves and needles decompose on top and seed themselves. Use a heavy woven fabric rather than the thin plastic type sold in rolls at big box stores.

    Answer

    How much does a yard of gravel weigh and will my driveway handle it?

    A cubic yard of crushed stone runs roughly 2,500 to 2,800 pounds, so a five yard load is around seven tons. Older Hot Springs driveways, especially steep or narrow ones near the historic district, sometimes need a split delivery. Let us know your access situation and we will size the load appropriately.

    Answer

    Is river rock or crushed stone better around my foundation?

    Crushed stone compacts and stays put, which makes it better on any slope, while river rock looks cleaner and drains freely on flat ground. For foundation perimeters in Hot Springs, most people use washed river rock at downspout outlets to break the force of roof runoff and crushed stone elsewhere. Keep any stone bed graded away from the house at least a quarter inch per foot.
