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 covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, which is the standard install depth for most front yard rock beds. For a typical 400 to 500 square foot bed, that puts most Kennewick jobs in the 2.5 to 3 cubic yard range, and going to 3 inches deep in high traffic spots will use noticeably more. Measure your bed's length and width first, then decide on depth based on whether it's decorative or a walkway.

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 underneath is what makes this a decade long install instead of a seasonal chore, since without it the rock slowly works its way into the silt loam beneath. Steel or paver edging keeps everything contained and looks clean against Kennewick's typical xeriscape borders. Many customers pair a rock front yard with a smaller mulch bed near foundation plantings that still need organic matter.
Service area
In Kennewick's silt loam, skip skimping on landscape fabric thickness. The soil here is fine grained enough that standard woven fabric eventually lets rock and dirt intermix at the edges within a few years if it's thin or overlapped poorly. Spend the extra effort on a heavier commercial grade fabric with generous overlaps, especially near downspouts where water pressure during spring runoff will find any weak seam and push soil up through it.
The biggest mistake locally is treating rock beds like mulch beds and forgetting they trap every leaf that blows off a nearby tree instead of breaking it down. Come October, as leaves start dropping ahead of the first frost, plan on blowing or raking rock beds clear a few times through fall. Left alone, decomposing leaf litter builds a thin soil layer on top of the rock that weeds will find within a season or two.
Because this is a one time install rather than an annual refresh like bark mulch, it pays to slightly oversize your order rather than run short. A leftover quarter yard is easy to store dry in a bin or tarp for future touch ups after wind or shoveling snow off walkways during Kennewick's colder months. Running short mid job means a second delivery and a visible color seam if the batch varies at all.
Kennewick's silt loam drains fast and dries hard, so rock beds here don't fight the mud problems you'd see in heavier clay soils further west. The tradeoff is that in a zone 7b summer, bare rock over dark landscape fabric can bake and radiate heat back at nearby plants, so placement against south facing foundations works better than tucking it around anything that wants shade at the roots. Around downspouts it also does real work, since Kennewick's occasional heavy spring runoff needs something that won't wash out or compost down like bark does. It's a common choice here for the low water, low fuss yards that fit the high desert climate along the Columbia.
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.
