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!

One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, which is the standard install for groundcover beds and downspout aprons. For heavier coverage or areas with more foot traffic, figure closer to 3 inches and adjust your square footage down accordingly. Measure your bed length and width first, then decide depth based on how much the area gets walked on.

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 first if you want this to actually be a decade-long install rather than a rock garden full of weeds by next summer. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the rock from migrating into the lawn, especially useful on the sloped lots common around Meridian's newer developments. A load of mulch for the planting beds nearby rounds out a yard that mixes low-maintenance rock zones with actual plantings.

Silt loam holds water longer than sandy soil, so grade your bed with a slight slope away from the house before you lay fabric. If the base underneath stays soggy, rock on top will not fix drainage, it just hides the problem until the fabric sags and the stone settles unevenly. A few inches of coarse base material under the fabric solves this permanently in Meridian's clay-heavy pockets.
The most common mistake is skipping fabric because it seems like an extra step. Without it, silt loam works up through the rock within two or three seasons and you end up with a muddy, weedy mess that looks worse than bare dirt. Fabric is what turns this into the one-time install it is supposed to be, do not skip it to save an afternoon.
Buying rock and edging material together in one delivery saves a second truck trip, and pairing a smaller rock load with a mulch load for your planting beds is usually more efficient than two separate deliveries scheduled weeks apart. If you are unsure on quantity, order slightly over rather than under, since rock left over gets used for touch-ups, rock you're short on means waiting on another delivery.
Meridian sits on silt loam that compacts and sheds water slowly, which means bare soil near foundations and downspouts tends to stay soggy through the wet stretch before last frost on May 5. Rock breaks that cycle, it does not hold moisture or feed weeds the way the native soil does. Around The Village at Meridian and in newer subdivisions across the Treasure Valley, rock beds over fabric are the standard low-water answer to Zone 6b's swing between hard winters and dry summers. It is not a seasonal product here, it is a one-time install that outlasts the bark mulch in the beds next to it.
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.
