Wonderful experience! They put the mulch exactly where we wanted. This mulch spread very easily and didn’t have the usual “mulch smell.” We will definitely use again!

At a 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard of landscape rock covers roughly 162 square feet at the low end of that range. Measure your bed square footage first, then divide by 162 to get a rough yard count before adjusting for the deeper end of the depth range if you want more coverage over fabric.

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!
Great service. We ordered topsoil from Mulch Mound and the best experience. Thank you so much!
Landscape fabric underneath is what makes this a decade-long install instead of a weed patch by next summer. Edging material keeps the rock from migrating into St. Augustine lawns during heavy rain, and a border of mulch or plant beds nearby lets you keep organic matter where roots actually need it.

Lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down, not after. In Miami's climate, skipping fabric means grass and weeds push through the sandy base within a season since nothing blocks root growth from below. Fabric also stops the rock from working its way down into the sand over time, which keeps your bed at the depth you installed instead of thinning out. This one step is the difference between a decade-long groundcover and a yearly chore.
Rock traps leaves and organic debris instead of breaking them down, so plan on blowing or raking beds a few times a year, especially near live oaks or mango trees common in older Miami yards. Left alone, decomposing leaf litter sits on top of the rock and eventually creates a thin soil layer where weeds take hold. A leaf blower on a low setting handles this in minutes without disturbing the rock bed underneath.
Rock is a one time cost that outlasts several mulch refresh cycles, which matters in a climate where organic mulch breaks down fast under heat and humidity. Pair it with mulch in planting beds where you want soil health, and reserve rock for foundation lines, downspout aprons, and low-maintenance front strips where nothing is actively growing. That split gets you durability where you need it and organic benefit where plants actually use it.
With Miami's limestone and sandy base, water moves through fast and organic mulch breaks down quickly in zone 10b heat and humidity, needing replacement more often than homeowners expect. Rock does not decompose, so it holds its line through our rainy season downpours and does not float or wash the way loose mulch can around downspouts. A lot of Magic City properties near Vizcaya and the older bungalow neighborhoods use rock beds specifically because they hold up against afternoon thunderstorms without shifting. It also stays put over the sandy soil instead of settling into it over a season or two.
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.
