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

Landscape rock installs at 2 to 3 inches deep, and one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet at the 2 inch depth. A typical foundation bed or downspout apron in Kingsport runs somewhere between 100 and 300 square feet, so most homeowners are ordering 1 to 2 yards, with larger front yard groundcover projects running higher.

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.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Landscape fabric underneath is what makes this a decade-long install instead of a weed patch by year two, so budget for it if the bed does not already have some. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the rock from migrating into the lawn on sloped sections common around here, and a few larger accent stones or boulders can break up a big flat rock bed near the house.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

In Kingsport's clay soil, water tends to sheet across yards instead of soaking in, so grade the bed slightly before laying fabric, even a half inch fall over a few feet keeps rock from sitting in standing water after a heavy rain. Skipping this step is the number one reason rock beds here develop algae film and mud stains within the first year, especially on the shadier north side of a house.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock does not feed your soil and it traps falling leaves instead of breaking them down, so if the bed sits under oaks or maples common around Kingsport neighborhoods, plan to blow or rake it out each fall. Left alone, decomposing leaf litter over rock creates a thin soil layer where weeds take hold, which defeats the low-maintenance point of choosing rock in the first place.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Since this is a one time install rather than an annual refresh, it pays to order slightly more than the bare minimum calculation, a half yard extra costs far less than scheduling a second delivery later. Pairing the rock order with fabric and edging in the same delivery trip also saves a separate errand once you start digging and realize you are short on either.

Decorative Stone in Kingsport

Kingsport sits on heavy clay that drains slowly, and rock over landscape fabric solves the standing water problem that mulch never quite fixes near downspouts and foundation lines. With a first frost around November 15 and last frost around April 15, this region gets freeze thaw cycles that heave loose soil and gravel paths if there is no fabric barrier underneath. A lot of homes near Bays Mountain Park use rock beds specifically because the terrain slopes and rock does not wash out or compact the way bark mulch does on a grade. It is also the material of choice for people tired of the annual mulch refresh in a city where spring comes late enough that timing a mulch install is a hassle anyway.

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 Kingsport's clay soil without drainage problems?

Yes, as long as the bed is graded before install. Clay soil sheds water rather than absorbing it, so rock placed in a low spot will pool. Grading the bed with a slight slope and using fabric underneath lets water move off the surface instead of collecting, which is the main issue we see in flatter yards around town.

Answer

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

At the standard 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 200 square foot bed needs a little over 1 yard, and most people round up to about 1.5 yards to account for uneven ground and edges.

Answer

What time of year is best to install landscape rock here?

Anytime the ground is not frozen works, but many Kingsport homeowners install after the last frost around April 15 when they are doing other yard work anyway. Since this is a one time project and not a seasonal refresh, there is no real deadline, just avoid installing over frozen or waterlogged clay.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck place the rock on my property?

The driver places the load at the driveway or curb spot you specify at checkout. Kingsport's hillier lots sometimes mean a longer wheelbarrow haul to the bed, so it helps to point the load as close to the work area as the truck can safely reach.

Answer

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

Rock is the better call for foundation beds and downspout areas because it does not need annual replacement and handles moisture better than mulch in clay soil. Mulch is a better fit if you are planting things that benefit from organic matter breaking into the soil over time, since rock never feeds the ground underneath it.
