    I used Mulch Mound to have 3 cubic yards of garden soil delivered. The process was easy and I love that I didn't have to call anyone. I placed my order online, picked my delivery date, laid out my tarp and the dirt was delivered. My delivery had to be pushed back, but I was kept informed via text, which was great. So why not 5 stars? The description of garden soil on the website is "A balanced mix of topsoil and organic amendments ready for raised beds, flower gardens, and new planting areas. Good drainage, solid nutrients, easy to work with." What I got was more like fill dirt. It had a lot of gravel, a lot of clay, and random trash mixed in. I didn't test the soil to see if it actually had "amendments" because I already have compost and alpaca manure ready to add, but if I'd known the quality of the dirt was going to be the same as the bagged dirt I bought last year, I probably would have gotten 2 yards of top soil and a yard of leaf compost for better quality, especially since the leaf compost is cheaper.

    Measure length and width of the area, then choose your depth, keeping in mind stone is sold by weight or volume depending on the product. Because rock is dense, err on the generous side rather than ordering a second small load. Enter your numbers in the calculator and we will convert square footage and depth into tons or cubic yards for you.

    Complete Your Outdoor Stone Project

    Pair your stone with landscape fabric and steel edging to keep rock separated from Lee's Summit silt loam, and pick up sand or screenings if you are setting pavers over the base. Boulders and flagstone finish out drainage swales and give them an intentional look.

    Mulch Mound Pro Tip

    Always put fabric under decorative stone, even though we advise against it under mulch. The reason is simple. Stone does not decompose into the soil, so the fabric is not blocking anything beneficial, and without it Lee's Summit silt loam works its way up between the rocks after a few wet springs until your clean river rock looks muddy. Use a woven landscape fabric rather than the thin plastic type, which tears during installation.

    Mulch Mound Pro Tip

    Compact your base in lifts. Dumping eight inches of crushed limestone at once and running a plate compactor over the surface leaves the bottom half loose, and Lee's Summit freeze and thaw cycles will find that weakness by the second winter. Spread and compact in three to four inch layers, lightly dampening each one so the stone dust binds. It takes an extra hour and doubles the life of the surface.

    Mulch Mound Pro Tip

    Think about heat before you replace mulch with rock. Stone beds on a south or west facing Lee's Summit wall can run considerably hotter than mulched beds in July, which stresses hydrangeas, boxwoods, and hostas that are already dealing with our humid summers. Reserve stone for drainage areas, walkways, and plantings of sedum, ornamental grasses, and junipers that actually appreciate the reflected warmth.

    The Unique Landscape of Lee's Summit

    Lee's Summit's 42 inches of annual rain has to go somewhere, and on the rolling terrain around town it usually finds the low corner of somebody's yard. Decorative and drainage stone gives that water a path, holding grade on slopes and keeping silt loam from washing toward the street during the intense storms that roll through Jackson County each spring. Because stone does not decompose, it is the right answer for downspout outfalls, side yards that never dry out, and high traffic paths where mulch would simply float away. Local limestone products also blend naturally with the region's geology and with the stone accents common on Lee's Summit homes. Add in freeze and thaw cycles between the October 20 first frost and April 15 last frost, and a proper gravel base becomes essential under any patio or walkway you expect to stay level.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Click a question to see the answer

    Answer

    What size stone works best for a French drain in Lee's Summit?

    Use a clean washed rock in the three quarter to one and a half inch range with no fines, since our silt loam will migrate into anything smaller and clog the drain within a couple of seasons. Wrap the trench in filter fabric and slope it at least one percent. Given how much runoff comes off a Lee's Summit roof during a spring storm, size the trench generously.

    Answer

    Will river rock hold up better than mulch on my sloped side yard?

    In most cases yes. Lee's Summit slopes shed water fast during heavy rain, and shredded mulch floats out onto the sidewalk while two to three inch river rock stays put. Just be aware stone reflects heat, so avoid it directly against foundation plantings on a west facing wall.

    Answer

    How deep should the gravel base be under a patio here?

    Plan on four to six inches of compacted crushed limestone base for a walkway and six to eight inches for a patio or driveway. Lee's Summit goes through repeated freeze and thaw cycles between late October and mid April, and a shallow base lets frost heave lift pavers out of level within a season or two.

    Answer

    Does stone stop weeds better than mulch?

    It slows them, but nothing stops them. Silt and organic debris blow into stone beds and over two or three Lee's Summit growing seasons that fine material becomes a seedbed sitting right on top of your rock. The difference is that pulling weeds out of gravel is harder than pulling them out of mulch, so plan on a spring preemergent application.

    Answer

    What stone should I use for a gravel driveway or parking pad?

    Crushed limestone base rock, often sold as AB3 or three quarter minus, is the standard around Lee's Summit because the angular fragments and stone dust lock together under traffic. Lay it six to eight inches thick over compacted subgrade and crown the center so our heavy rains run off instead of soaking in and creating potholes.

    Answer

    How do I keep gravel from washing into my lawn during storms?

    Edge restraint is the answer. Steel edging, concrete curbing, or a trenched border set at least four inches deep keeps stone contained when a two inch Lee's Summit rain event hits in an hour. On steeper runs, use larger angular rock rather than smooth pea gravel, which rolls easily once water starts moving.

    Answer

    Can I put stone around my downspouts to fix erosion?

    That is one of the best uses for it here. Extend the downspout at least four feet from the foundation, dig a shallow basin, line it with fabric, and fill with river rock to break the force of the water. It stops the crater that forms in Lee's Summit silt loam and keeps runoff moving away from your basement wall.
