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 less at 3 inches if you want a heavier, more permanent look. Measure your bed's length and width, decide on depth based on how much foot traffic or weed pressure you expect, then order in full cubic yard increments since this is a one time install, not something you'll be topping off every season. Most Moline front beds run 1 to 3 cubic yards depending on how much lawn is being converted.

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
Landscape fabric underneath is what turns this into a decade long groundcover instead of a weed patch, so order it alongside the rock if your bed doesn't already have it. Edging material helps keep rock contained and off the lawn during mowing, especially useful with Moline's clay soil where beds tend to settle unevenly. If any part of the area still needs organic matter for plantings, keep a separate mulched zone rather than mixing rock into it.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down, not after, and overlap seams by at least six inches. In Moline's clay soil, skipping fabric means rock slowly works itself into the ground over a couple seasons and you lose depth without ever adding more material. Pin the fabric at the edges and around any shrubs so it doesn't shift when you're spreading and raking the rock level.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Rock beds still need occasional upkeep, mainly blowing or raking out leaves and cottonwood fluff before they mat down and start decomposing into a thin soil layer on top of the fabric. Skip this for a couple falls and you'll have weeds rooting in that debris layer instead of your yard. A leaf blower on a low setting works faster than raking without disturbing the stone.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Keep rock away from beds where you plan to add perennials or shrubs later, since pulling established rock back out to amend clay soil with compost is far more work than doing it right the first time. Use rock for the strips against the foundation and along downspouts, and save mulched, organic matter beds for anything you want to actually grow. Mixing the two zones from the start saves a full re-do down the line.
Decorative Stone in Moline
Moline's clay soil drains slowly, so water tends to pool wherever grade is flat, and rock beds placed over fabric keep that moisture off your foundation instead of trapping it against the slab. With a first frost around October 9 and last frost near May 7, you have a workable install window through spring and fall before the ground locks up. Rock also holds up better than bark mulch through the freeze thaw cycles Moline sees each winter. It's a common choice around downspouts here where clay soil already struggles to move water away from the house.
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.
