We had a great experience with mulch mound! Our mulch arrived when we requested. The delivery fee was so reasonable. We’ll use them again for sure!

One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, or a bit less coverage if you go to 3 inches for better weed suppression. Measure your bed's length and width, decide on depth based on how much foot traffic or erosion you are dealing with, and order in full cubic yards since this is a one time install you want to get right the first time. Most single bed projects around Lima homes run between 2 and 5 cubic yards.

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.

First time going with this company for mulch and it was an efficient process from start to finish. Website was easy—I told them exactly where I wanted the mulch put on my driveway, and it was delivered perfectly when I got home from work the next day. Best deal around when I compared it to competitors and I will definitely be becoming back.

Landscape fabric underneath is worth doing right the first time since rock is not something you want to pull up and relay in a year. Steel or aluminum edging keeps it contained against lawn edges, especially useful in Lima's clay heavy silt loam where grass roots creep. Some customers pair a rock border with mulch in the planting beds further from the foundation where they still want organic matter feeding the soil.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

In Lima's silt loam, skip laying rock directly on bare soil even for a small bed. Fabric is worth the extra afternoon of work because without it, the rock sinks into the soil within a couple wet seasons and you end up with mud showing through by year three. Use a landscape staple every 12 to 18 inches on the fabric before spreading rock, especially on any slight slope where runoff wants to shift it.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake locally is piling rock right up against siding or wood trim. With Lima's freeze thaw winters, moisture that collects between rock and foundation can wick into wood over time. Leave a couple inches of clearance from siding and keep the rock sloped slightly away from the house so water sheds outward instead of pooling against the foundation edge.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock is a one time cost compared to mulch you replace annually, so it pays to get the depth right up front rather than adding a thin top up layer next year that never blends visually with sun faded rock underneath. If budget matters, use rock only in the highest visibility beds near the entrance and street, and save mulch for beds further back where plants benefit more from organic matter breaking down.

Decorative Stone in Lima

Lima sits on silt loam that holds water and compacts easily, which is exactly why rock works so well around foundations and downspouts here, it does not break down or wash into the soil the way mulch does after a wet spring. With a last frost around April 25 and first frost by mid October, the freeze thaw cycle each winter can heave loose material, so a properly bedded rock installation with fabric underneath stays put season after season. It is a common choice for the low maintenance front yard beds you see around newer Lima subdivisions and older neighborhoods near Ottawa Metro Park alike. Just know it will trap falling leaves in autumn and needs occasional blowing out.

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

Answer

How long does landscape rock actually last in Lima before it needs replacing?

Properly installed over fabric, landscape rock is essentially a one time install, most homeowners never fully replace it. It does not decompose like mulch, though color can fade slightly with UV exposure over many years and you may need to top off after wind or heavy rain events shift the surface layer.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a bed along my foundation?

One cubic yard covers about 162 square feet at 2 inches deep. Measure your foundation bed's length times width, then divide by 162 for a rough yard count. Most Lima homes need 1 to 3 cubic yards for a standard foundation bed run, more if you go to 3 inch depth.

Answer

Is spring or fall a better time to install rock in Lima?

Either works since rock does not depend on growing season, but many people prefer fall installs after leaves drop so they are not immediately covering the bed, or early spring before the last frost around April 25 so beds look finished for the season. Avoid installing on frozen or waterlogged silt loam soil.

Answer

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

You choose the drop location at checkout, typically a driveway, curb, or a spot near the work area. Make sure there is clear truck access and enough room for the load, and keep in mind rock is heavy so placing it close to the final bed saves a lot of wheelbarrow trips.

Answer

Should I choose rock or mulch for beds near my downspouts?

Rock is generally the better call around downspouts since it does not float, wash away, or break down from constant moisture the way mulch does. It also will not feed the soil there, so if you have plantings right at the downspout that need organic matter, consider mulch instead or rock with occasional compost top dressing.
