About this landscape rock
Smooth tumbled river rock, heavy enough to stay put in drainage runs and handsome enough for beds and borders.

How Much Landscape Rock Do I Need?
How Much Landscape Rock Do I Need?
One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, or a bit less if you go to 3 inches for better weed suppression. Measure your bed's length and width, multiply for square footage, then divide by 162 to get a rough yard count at standard depth. Round up slightly, since edges and uneven grading always eat a little extra.

One of the easiest customer service experiences I've had in a long time! Mulch Mound made it so simple. After putting it off for a while, I looked at the weather and knew I needed to get to mulching ASAP before the rain came if I didn't want to wait another week. I put my order in for the next day online and they came right at 9 AM. The employee who dropped off the mulch did a great job, putting it right on the tarp I laid out, she even made sure none of it got on the yard and double checked the truck bed to make sure it all came out. The mulch was exactly what I needed and arrived right on time.

We have always spread our own mulch for the past 24 years. This was our first time with the Mulch Mound - things I liked: they have online ordering and provide a digital receipt which means you can remember how much you ordered (I always forget for the next year!), they were on time, they were able to deliver in 48 hours, they were generous with the portion (we got 9 yards and it felt like a FULL nine yards!), the driver was polite! We have ordered from reputable places, and there is always a little trash in the mulch. The mulch we recv'd from Mulch Mound had barely any... we were pleasant surprised!!! Color was great! Not to mention - the price was competitive and LOWER than other mulch places around. We will use again !! Highly recommend! Thanks Mulch Mound!
Complete Your Outdoor Project
Landscaping fabric underneath is what makes rock a decade-long solution instead of a weed magnet, so budget for it if your bed does not already have some down. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the rock from migrating into the lawn, especially useful on the sandy, loose soil common around Mastic. Some customers also order a run of mulch for planting beds where they want organic matter to build, and rock for the foundation lines and downspout areas separately.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip
In Mastic's sandy loam, skip skimping on fabric prep. Because the native soil drains so fast and has little organic bulk to hold rock in place from below, any gaps in your fabric barrier let rock sink into the sand within a season or two. Overlap fabric seams by at least 6 inches and pin every 2 feet, tighter than you'd bother with in heavier clay soil elsewhere.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
The most common mistake locally is installing rock right up against foundation plantings that actually want organic matter, azaleas and rhododendrons common in South Shore Hamlet yards will decline over a few seasons without leaf litter or compost feeding the roots. Keep rock for open groundcover zones and downspout aprons, and leave mulch for anything that needs a soil ecosystem.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Order rock and edging material as one delivery when possible, since a single load lets you set the perimeter before you spread stone rather than adjusting rock after the fact. If you are covering multiple zones, ask about a slightly larger single order rather than two smaller ones, since it reduces the handling and placement time on install day.
Decorative Stone in Mastic
Mastic's sandy loam drains quickly, which is good news for rock, there is no standing water to worry about undermining a base or floating fabric loose. At 32 feet elevation with a mild coastal influence, freeze thaw heaving is less of an issue here than inland, so a properly bedded rock installation holds its line season after season. South Shore Hamlet yards tend to be small and visible from the street, so a lot of homeowners use rock for the front bed facing the road and keep mulch in back where soil building matters more. It also handles the sandy soil's tendency to erode around downspouts better than any organic material would.
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.
