Placing an order online was so easy. Delivery was on time. When the driver realized we had a newly poured driveway they erred on the side of caution and opted not ti drive in it. The company even sent me a message explaining that call. Would recommend!

At a standard 2 inch depth, one cubic yard of rock covers about 162 square feet, so a typical 300 square foot front bed runs close to 2 cubic yards. If you want more substantial coverage or plan to go 3 inches deep for better weed suppression, figure closer to 110 square feet per yard. Measure the bed in square feet first, then divide by the coverage number for your chosen depth.

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.
Landscape fabric goes down before the rock, not after, and it is worth doing right since this is a one time install. Steel edging or a paver border keeps rock from migrating into lawn or clay soil over the years. Many Medford customers pair rock beds with a strip of bark mulch around actual plantings, since rock alone stops organic matter from ever reaching the roots.
Service area
In Medford's clay soil, grade the bed slightly away from the foundation before laying fabric, even an inch of fall over a few feet keeps winter rain from pooling under the rock and softening the clay beneath it. Skipping this step is the number one reason rock beds here develop soggy low spots by the second wet season.
Rock beds near oak or maple trees fill with leaves every fall and winter, and blowing them out is harder than raking mulch since leaves wedge between stones. If your bed sits under mature trees, plan on a leaf blower pass every few weeks from October through the first frost in mid April, or the rock stops looking like a clean install.
Because this is a one time install rather than an annual refresh like bark mulch, it pays to order slightly heavier on depth up front, closer to 3 inches, rather than doing a thin 2 inch layer you will need to top off later. The extra cubic yardage now costs less in effort than a second delivery and reinstall down the road.
Medford sits on heavy clay that drains slowly, and anyone who has dug a bed here knows water sits on top before it moves through. Rock over fabric solves that standing water problem around foundations and downspouts better than organic mulch, which mats down and holds moisture against the clay. With our dry summers and wet winters, rock also does not break down or blow around the way bark does after a Rogue Valley windstorm. It is a common choice for the low-water, low-maintenance front yards you see all over town, especially on properties that back up toward Table Rocks where irrigation is limited.
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.
