I contacted Mulch Mound for #57 river rocks and it was easy and fast to get a delivery right before the holiday weekend. Stone was delivered as promised and place exactly where I asked. Excellent service! I will be ordering mulch next!

At the standard 2 inch install depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a typical 300 square foot front bed runs close to 2 cubic yards. If you want more coverage against erosion in low spots where our clay holds water, bump to a 3 inch depth and figure closer to 108 square feet per yard. Measure the bed first, then decide on depth based on how much drainage help you actually need.

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.

I couldn't be happier with the speed and quality of the mulch delivery service of Mulch Mound. Every detail from ordering, to communication with on time delivery, to perfect product placement was amazing. I needed more and I got it within 2 hours! I'm never doing this with bags again.
Landscape fabric underneath is worth doing right the first time, since pulling rock back up later to fix a fabric gap is a real job nobody wants to redo. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the rock from migrating into the lawn, especially useful on the sloped yards common around this area. Some customers also order a smaller load of mulch for planting beds where they actually want organic matter feeding the soil, and rock for the parts of the yard that just need to look finished.

Little Rock's clay and silt soil does not drain fast, so grade your bed slightly away from the house before laying fabric, even an inch of fall over a few feet keeps water from pooling under the rock after our heavier spring rains. Skipping this step is the number one reason rock beds around foundations end up smelling musty or growing algae within a year or two.
Rock traps falling leaves instead of breaking them down, and Little Rock's oak and pecan cover means autumn leaf litter builds up fast in rock beds. Plan on blowing or raking beds clear a few times between late October and December, otherwise trapped leaves hold moisture against the fabric and eventually rot through it, letting weeds establish underneath.
Rock is a one time install, not a seasonal refresh like mulch, so it is worth ordering slightly more than the bare minimum coverage rather than running short and paying for a second small delivery later. Pairing rock borders with mulched planting beds lets you put organic matter only where roots actually need it, while keeping high traffic or foundation areas permanently low maintenance.
Little Rock's clay and silt soil sheds water slowly, which is exactly why rock works so well here around foundations and downspouts where mulch tends to wash out or stay soggy. Zone 7b means we get real freeze thaw cycles through the winter, and rock does not heave or break down the way organic mulch does after a hard frost. A lot of homeowners near Central High and the older neighborhoods around it are dealing with compacted clay beds that never drained right, and rock over fabric changes that instantly. It is also one of the few materials that looks right against the brick and stone facades common in this city's older housing stock.
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.
