    I used Mulch Mound to have 3 cubic yards of garden soil delivered. The process was easy and I love that I didn't have to call anyone. I placed my order online, picked my delivery date, laid out my tarp and the dirt was delivered. My delivery had to be pushed back, but I was kept informed via text, which was great. So why not 5 stars? The description of garden soil on the website is "A balanced mix of topsoil and organic amendments ready for raised beds, flower gardens, and new planting areas. Good drainage, solid nutrients, easy to work with." What I got was more like fill dirt. It had a lot of gravel, a lot of clay, and random trash mixed in. I didn't test the soil to see if it actually had "amendments" because I already have compost and alpaca manure ready to add, but if I'd known the quality of the dirt was going to be the same as the bagged dirt I bought last year, I probably would have gotten 2 yards of top soil and a yard of leaf compost for better quality, especially since the leaf compost is cheaper.

    Measure your area in feet and decide on depth before you calculate, since stone is priced by weight and depth drives the total fast. For beds use 2 to 3 inches, and for driveways figure 4 inches or more. Our calculator converts square footage and depth into tons, and it is smart to add about 5 percent for uneven ground and settling.

    Complete Your Outdoor Stone Project

    Add woven landscape fabric beneath your stone and steel or paver edging to hold the line, plus a few yards of topsoil if you are regrading the area before installation.

    Mulch Mound Pro Tip

    Compact in lifts, not all at once. If you are building a Middletown driveway or paver base, spread stone in 2 inch layers and run a plate compactor over each one before adding the next. Dumping 6 inches and compacting the top only leaves loose material underneath that will rut the first time a delivery truck pulls in. Slightly dampening the stone helps the fines lock together.

    Mulch Mound Pro Tip

    Give stone a hard edge. Middletown silt loam is soft and stone migrates into it over time, especially where beds meet lawn. Install steel edging or a paver soldier course set on a compacted base before you spread. It keeps rock out of your mower deck, keeps the bed line crisp, and saves you from raking stone back into place after every heavy storm.

    Mulch Mound Pro Tip

    Design dry creek beds to actually move water. Rather than scattering river rock decoratively, dig a shallow swale that follows the natural fall of your lot toward the street or a low corner. Line it with fabric, place larger boulders along the outer curves, and fill with mixed sizes of river rock. Done right it handles a Middletown downpour and looks intentional the other 350 days of the year.

    The Unique Landscape of Middletown

    Middletown's silt loam holds water, and with 42 inches of rain a year that combination puts steady pressure on downspout areas, side yards, and any low spot on a lot. Decorative and drainage stone gives water somewhere to go while providing a surface that does not float away in a July thunderstorm. Limestone gravel is also the practical base under pavers and walkways here, since it compacts tight and resists the frost heave that comes with our freeze and thaw cycles between the October 15 first frost and the April 24 last frost. Along the older streets near downtown, stone is popular for driveway aprons and alley parking pads where mud is a constant battle. Unlike mulch, stone stays put year after year and never needs a spring refresh.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Click a question to see the answer

    Answer

    What size gravel works best for a driveway in Middletown?

    A 57 limestone base topped with 411 or dense grade works well on Middletown's silt loam. The fines in the dense grade lock together and shed water instead of letting it sink into the soft subsoil underneath. Plan on 4 to 6 inches of total depth for a residential drive.

    Answer

    Will stone in my beds get hot and hurt my plants?

    Light colored limestone reflects heat and can raise soil temperature noticeably during Middletown's 90 degree August afternoons. Use stone in beds with sun tolerant plants like sedum, ornamental grasses, or junipers, and stick with mulch around hydrangeas and hostas that need cooler roots.

    Answer

    How do I keep weeds from growing through my stone?

    Lay a quality woven landscape fabric first, not the thin plastic sheeting. Weeds in Middletown beds usually sprout in the silt and leaf debris that collects on top of the stone rather than growing up from below, so plan to blow out the debris each fall after the maples drop.

    Answer

    How much does a yard of stone weigh compared to mulch?

    A cubic yard of limestone runs roughly 2,600 to 2,800 pounds, while a yard of mulch is closer to 700. That is why we sell stone by the ton. It also means you should keep the pile off soft turf and plan for a real workout when spreading.

    Answer

    Can stone solve my wet side yard problem?

    A gravel filled French drain works well between Middletown houses where the side yard stays soggy. Wrap perforated pipe in fabric, backfill with washed 57 stone, and daylight the outlet toward the street or a low corner. Simply laying stone on the surface without a drain path just makes a wet gravel patch.

    Answer

    What stone should I use around my downspouts?

    Two to four inch river rock or larger limestone handles downspout discharge best. With 42 inches of rain a year, a Middletown roof pushes serious volume out of each downspout during a storm, and smaller pea gravel simply washes out into the lawn.

    Answer

    Do I need to add stone every year like mulch?

    No. Stone is a one time investment for most Middletown yards. You may top off a driveway with a half ton every few years where tires push material to the edges, and beds benefit from a rinse or debris cleanup each spring, but you will not be reordering every season.
