One cubic yard covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, which is the standard for most decorative rock beds. If you want the fuller 3 inch depth for heavier foot traffic or steeper drainage areas, figure closer to 108 square feet per yard. Measure your bed in square feet first, then decide on depth before ordering so you are not short a yard partway through.

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 what makes this a decade-long install instead of a weed patch by year two, so it is worth doing before the rock goes down. Edging, whether steel or paver, keeps the rock from migrating into the lawn during Marshfield's spring thaw. If you have planting beds mixed in, keep mulch there instead since rock will not feed the soil the way organic matter does.
Lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down, not after, and overlap seams by at least six inches. In Marshfield's silt loam, skipping fabric means fines from the soil work up through the rock within a couple seasons and you end up with a muddy, weedy mess instead of the clean permanent look you paid for. Fabric is inexpensive compared to redoing the whole bed later.
The most common mistake with rock beds here is placing them too close to trees or shrubs that need organic matter and moisture retention. Rock reflects heat and sheds water, so anything planted directly into or near it dries out faster and gets stressed, especially in Marshfield's shorter growing season. Keep rock away from root zones of anything you actually want to thrive, and save it for foundations, walkways, and pure groundcover zones.
Order slightly more than your calculated yardage, about 10 percent extra, since settling and depth variation across an uneven silt loam base always eats into your coverage. It is far more efficient to have a little leftover for future touch ups around downspouts than to schedule a second small delivery for a partial yard.
Marshfield's silt loam soil holds water well, which is good for lawns but means bare beds near foundations can stay soggy and erode without a hard groundcover on top. Rock handles that moisture without breaking down, unlike mulch that compacts into the clay-heavy silt over a season. With winters that hit hard by late September and a frost season that runs until late May, this is a material you install once and it just sits there through freeze thaw cycles without heaving apart. It is a solid pick for downspout aprons and foundation borders where standing water is a recurring problem.
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.
