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!

One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, or less if you go to the recommended 3 inches for better weed suppression. Measure your bed's length and width, decide your depth, and order in full cubic yards since this is a one time install you want done right the first time. Most front bed projects in KC run somewhere between 2 and 5 cubic yards depending on how much lawn is being converted.

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 before the rock and is what actually keeps this a decade long install instead of a weedy mess by year two. Steel edging or paver edging keeps rock from migrating onto the lawn during mowing and heavy rain. If you are also planting anything that wants real soil contact, keep that area separate since rock and organic matter do not mix well long term.
Service area
Lay landscape fabric before the rock, not after, and overlap seams by at least 6 inches since KC clay heaves enough over winter to open gaps in fabric that was cut too tight. Skip the fabric and you will be pulling rock out of mud within two seasons, especially in beds that stay damp near downspouts or foundation lines with poor drainage.
The biggest mistake we see is spreading rock too thin to stretch the yardage. At under 2 inches, wind and foot traffic push fabric into view fast, and weeds seed into the exposed gaps. Stick to the 2 to 3 inch range even if it means ordering slightly more, because this is a one time job and thin coverage means redoing sections within a year or two.
Order slightly more than your calculated yardage, maybe half a yard extra, since rock settles into the fabric weave over the first few months and low spots appear. Keeping the leftover on hand for spot fills is cheaper and easier than scheduling a small second delivery later for a partial yard.
Kansas City's clay soil holds water and swells and shrinks through our freeze thaw winters, which is exactly the kind of ground that pushes organic mulch around and invites weeds. Rock laid over fabric stays put on that clay instead of migrating into low spots the way bark does after a hard rain off Union Station way or anywhere the grade drains slow. It also handles the swing from our October frost to spring thaw without decomposing or needing a spring top off. It is a common choice for foundation beds and downspout areas where standing water is already a problem and organic material would just rot.
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.
