Placing an order online was so easy. Delivery was on time. When the driver realized we had a newly poured driveway they erred on the side of caution and opted not ti drive in it. The company even sent me a message explaining that call. Would recommend!

At a 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard of landscape rock covers roughly 162 square feet at the shallow end of that range. Measure your bed's length and width, decide if you want closer to 2 inches for a lighter layer or 3 inches for better weed suppression, and order in full cubic yards since this is a one time install you don't want to redo.

One of the easiest customer service experiences I've had in a long time! Mulch Mound made it so simple. After putting it off for a while, I looked at the weather and knew I needed to get to mulching ASAP before the rain came if I didn't want to wait another week. I put my order in for the next day online and they came right at 9 AM. The employee who dropped off the mulch did a great job, putting it right on the tarp I laid out, she even made sure none of it got on the yard and double checked the truck bed to make sure it all came out. The mulch was exactly what I needed and arrived right on time.
Landscape fabric underneath is what makes rock a decade-long groundcover instead of a weed bed by next summer, so plan on it before delivery day. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the rock from migrating into the lawn or the clay soil from working its way up into the stone over time.
Service area
Kokomo's silty clay loam doesn't drain fast, so grade your bed slightly away from the foundation before you lay fabric, even an inch of fall over a few feet keeps water from sitting under the rock and turning the clay beneath it into mud. Skipping this step is the number one reason rock beds here end up soggy and sinking within a year or two.
The biggest mistake we see is skipping fabric entirely because it seems like an extra step. Without it, clay works its way up between the stones within a couple seasons and you're pulling weeds out of gravel by year three. Fabric is what turns this from an annual chore into the one time install it's meant to be.
If you're covering a large front yard bed, pair a lighter colored rock near the house with a slightly larger stone size along walkway edges, it reads as intentional landscaping instead of one flat gray sheet. Ordering the full amount in one cubic yard delivery also saves you from color mismatches that happen when you buy in smaller batches over time.
Kokomo's silty clay loam holds water longer than sandy soil, which is exactly why rock earns its keep here, especially around downspouts and foundation edges where the ground stays soggy into spring. With a last frost around April 15 and a first frost near October 18, there's a workable window to set fabric and rock before winter, and once it's down it stays put through freeze thaw cycles that heave looser mulch. It won't feed the soil or break down like organic mulch does, so it's better suited to the low-maintenance front beds around Seiberling Mansion style older homes than to plantings that need yearly organic matter.
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.
