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 the standard 2 inch install depth, one cubic yard of rock covers about 162 square feet, so a typical 200 square foot bed runs around 1.25 cubic yards. Going 3 inches deep for better weed suppression drops coverage to about 108 square feet per yard, so measure your bed's length and width first and decide on depth before you order. Rounding up slightly is normal since rock settles a bit as it beds in.

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 underneath is what makes this a decade-long install rather than a yearly chore, so most Muncie jobs order that alongside the rock. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the stone from migrating into the lawn, especially where silt loam soil shifts a bit with freeze and thaw. If any beds border planting areas that need real soil feeding, mulch is the better material there and rock stays for the foundation runs.
Service area
Lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down, not after, and overlap seams by at least six inches since Muncie's silt loam pushes moisture up through gaps over time. Skipping fabric means the rock settles into the soil within a couple seasons and starts sinking unevenly, especially in beds that catch downspout runoff where the ground stays soft longer into spring.
The biggest mistake we see locally is using rock where people later want to add perennials. Once fabric and stone are in, digging planting holes means cutting fabric and displacing rock every time, so decide up front which beds are permanent groundcover and which ones stay soil for future planting.
Rock pairs well with mulch on the same property without extra cost efficiency lost, use rock for foundation beds and high-traffic borders where organic mulch would break down faster, and save mulch dollars for planting beds where soil feeding actually matters. This split gets you low maintenance where you need it and healthy soil where plants need it.
Muncie sits on silt loam that holds water and compacts when it is wet, which is exactly the kind of soil that turns into a mud strip along foundations and downspouts if it is left bare. Rock over landscape fabric solves that problem for good, especially on the north and east sides of houses where snowmelt runs off through April. With a last frost near April 22 and a first frost around October 1, there is a workable window most of the year to get rock down before winter freeze thaw starts working on your beds. It is a common fix for the older Middletown neighborhoods near Minnetrista where foundation plantings sit close to the house.
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.
