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. Measure your bed's length and width, multiply for square footage, and divide by 162 to get a rough yard count. Round up slightly since edges and downspout zones tend to eat more material than flat rectangles suggest.

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, so plan for it if you have not already got it down. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the rock from migrating into the lawn, especially useful on sloped yards near the bluffs. Some homeowners keep a small pile of matching rock on hand for touch ups after heavy spring runoff.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

In La Crosse's silt loam, skip skipping the fabric. Without a barrier, rock sinks into the soil within a couple seasons as freeze thaw cycles work the ground underneath it, and you end up with rock mixed into mud by year three. Lay heavy landscape fabric first, overlap seams by several inches, and pin it down before the rock goes in. That single step is what separates a one time install from a project you're redoing in five years.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock over fabric traps fallen leaves instead of letting them break down into the soil, which is a real issue given how many mature trees line La Crosse neighborhoods near the bluff. Plan on blowing or raking leaves off the rock each fall before they mat down and rot in place. Skipping this for even one autumn creates a thin layer of compost that grass and weed seeds will happily root into.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order slightly more than your calculated yardage, maybe an extra 5 to 10 percent, rather than running short mid project. Landscape rock is a one time purchase for most beds, so a small overage costs little and saves you from a second delivery for what amounts to a few bags worth of shortfall. Extra rock also comes in handy for touch ups after spring snowmelt shifts things around.

Decorative Stone in La Crosse

La Crosse's silt loam holds water well, which is good for lawns but means bare soil near foundations can stay soggy and erode during spring snowmelt. Rock over landscape fabric solves that by shedding water instead of absorbing it, which matters here with a last frost as late as May 15 and heavy spring runoff. It also holds up through zone 5a winters without breaking down or needing a spring refresh like mulch does. The tradeoff is it will not feed the soil, so keep it away from beds where you want organic matter building up.

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 against my house foundation with our clay heavy spring runoff?

Yes, this is one of the best uses for it. Rock sheds water instead of absorbing it, which helps keep foundations dry during La Crosse's spring melt when silt loam soil is already saturated. Just make sure grading slopes away from the house before you install, rock will not fix a grading problem on its own.

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 roughly 1.25 cubic yards. Most people round up to 1.5 yards to cover uneven spots and edges without running short mid job.

Answer

Is spring or fall a better time to install landscape rock here?

Either works since this is a one time install, not a seasonal refresh, but many La Crosse homeowners prefer fall after leaf drop slows down, so the fabric goes down clean without needing to clear debris first. Installing before the ground freezes around early October also gives the base time to settle.

Answer

Can the delivery truck reach my backyard bed or does it have to go in the driveway?

Delivery is placed at a driveway or curb access point, the truck cannot drive onto lawns or through gates. For backyard beds, plan on wheelbarrowing the rock from the drop point, and make sure any gate width is measured ahead of time since a full cubic yard load is heavy and takes several trips.

Answer

Should I choose landscape rock or mulch for beds near my foundation?

Rock makes sense against foundations and in downspout zones since it does not break down and handles water runoff well, while mulch is better where you want soil building around perennials. A lot of La Crosse yards actually use both, rock along the house and mulch further out in planting beds.
