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 the standard 2 inch install depth, one cubic yard of rock covers about 162 square feet, so a typical 300 square foot front bed runs close to 2 cubic yards. If you want more mass for a foundation strip or a depth closer to 3 inches for erosion control, figure your square footage and adjust up from there. Because this is a one time install rather than a seasonal refresh, it pays to size the order right the first time.

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.
Most Jacksonville jobs pair rock with landscape fabric underneath to keep sand from working its way up through the stone over time. Steel or aluminum edging holds the line cleanly against St. Augustine lawns, and a few well placed larger accent stones or boulders break up a purely flat rock bed. None of it is required, but it is what keeps a rock install looking intentional a decade in.
Service area
Lay landscape fabric before you spread rock, not after, and overlap seams by at least 6 inches. In Jacksonville's sandy soil, gaps in fabric let sand migrate up through the stone within a couple of seasons, and once that happens you are pulling rock to fix it. A stapled, overlapped fabric layer is the difference between a bed that stays clean for a decade and one that needs regrading.
Rock does not feed soil the way mulch does, so anything planted directly into a rock bed needs to tolerate lean, dry conditions or you will be amending soil under stone every year. The common mistake is treating rock beds like mulch beds and expecting them to support hungry plants. Reserve rock for foundation lines, dry creek beds, and areas around downspouts where drainage matters more than soil building.
Because this is a one time install, it is worth ordering slightly more than your calculated minimum, an extra quarter yard, rather than running short and mismatching a second delivery's stone batch. Rock color and screening can vary slightly between loads, so buying enough in one order keeps the bed looking uniform for the long haul.
Jacksonville's sandy soil drains fast, which is exactly why rock works so well here, it does not sit in mud or get pulled into the ground the way mulch eventually does. With mild winters and no real freeze to speak of, there is no frost heave pushing stone out of place along River City's foundations and walkways. The trade off is that rock traps oak and magnolia leaf litter more than mulch does, so beds near mature tree canopy need an occasional blow out. Around downspouts and low spots where sandy soil channels water, rock stays put through Jacksonville's heavy summer rain.
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.
