Easy to order, great service, and great product. We enjoy the final look of a very neglected beds we inherited!

At a 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard of rock covers about 162 square feet at the low end of that range. Measure the bed in square feet, decide if you want a 2 inch or 3 inch depth, and divide by that coverage figure to land on your yardage. Most Jackson front beds and downspout aprons run somewhere between half a yard and two yards.

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.

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.

Landscape fabric underneath is what makes this a decade-long install instead of a rock pile that sinks into the clay, so budget for it if you don't already have it down. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the stone from migrating into the lawn, especially useful on the clay soil here where beds tend to shift after heavy rain. A lot of customers pair rock near the foundation with mulch in the planting beds further out, using rock where drainage matters most.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

In Jackson's clay, skip laying fabric directly on bare soil, grade the bed first so water doesn't pool against the fabric and rot it early. A shallow crown in the middle of the bed, even an inch or two, keeps water moving toward the edges instead of sitting under the rock where clay already drains slowly. This one step adds years to how long the bed looks right.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake we see is skipping edging to save money. Without a hard edge, rock walks into the lawn every time it rains hard, and Jackson gets its share of downpours between March and June. A steel or plastic edge restrained the first week saves you from re-raking rock out of the grass every spring after.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock is a one time cost compared to mulch, which most people refresh yearly. If you're deciding between the two for a foundation bed, rock costs more up front but you're not buying it again next season. Order slightly extra, an unopened bag or leftover pile stores fine outdoors for future touch ups around new plantings.

Decorative Stone in Jackson

Jackson's clay base means water sits on the surface before it soaks in, and a lot of yards around the City with Soul end up with soggy mulch beds by midsummer. Rock over fabric solves that, it sheds water instead of absorbing it and won't compact into the clay the way organic mulch does over a season. It's a common choice for beds near foundations and downspouts where nothing but eroded clay used to be. Just know it won't feed the soil, so it's not the pick for beds full of perennials that want organic matter worked in.

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 in Jackson's clay soil without shifting?

Yes, as long as fabric goes down first. Rock sits on top of the fabric rather than mixing into the clay, so it won't sink or get muddy the way loose mulch can on wet clay. Grading the bed with a slight crown before installing helps water move off instead of pooling underneath.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a 200 square foot bed?

At a 2 inch depth, coverage runs about 162 square feet per cubic yard, so a 200 square foot bed needs roughly 1.25 cubic yards. Round up to 1.5 yards if you want a fuller 3 inch depth or expect some loss at the edges.

Answer

When is the best time to install rock in Jackson?

Anytime outside of the wettest stretches works, but late fall after the first frost around November 10 or early spring before March 15 avoids installing over saturated clay. Dry ground makes grading and fabric placement much easier and gives you a cleaner base from day one.

Answer

Can you deliver a full load to a tight driveway or sloped yard?

We schedule delivery at checkout and place the load as close to your work area as truck access allows. Let us know if your driveway is narrow, gated, or on a slope so we can figure out the best drop spot ahead of time, most Jackson properties handle a curbside or driveway drop without issue.

Answer

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

Rock is the better call near foundations since it doesn't hold moisture against the house and it's a one time install rather than an annual refresh. Mulch is better where you want organic matter feeding the soil for plants. Many Jackson yards use rock right against the house and mulch further out in planting beds.
