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.

Really appreciate the care and follow thru that this company had with our order. A hiccup came up but they were quick to respond and address all concerns, which made our garden day a success! Thank you for your prompt care.
To estimate stone for your project, measure the length and width of the area in feet and multiply to get square footage. For most Navarre pathway and decorative applications a 2 to 3 inch depth is standard, so divide total square footage by 108 for a 3-inch depth to get cubic yards. Navarre's sandy base can compress under heavy stone over time, so ordering a small extra amount to top off low spots after the first season is a smart practice.
Stone Types We Deliver in Navarre
Mulch Mound brings bulk gravel by the yard in Navarre straight to your driveway or job site, so you skip the hardware store runs and get the volume you actually need. Our stone is sold and delivered by the cubic yard, making it easy to cover large areas without overpaying for bagged material. Whether you are landscaping a coastal cottage yard or improving drainage in sandy soil, we have the right material ready to go.
Pea Gravel
Smooth, rounded pea gravel is a natural fit for Navarre yards, where sandy soil and warm temperatures call for low-maintenance ground cover that stays put and drains well. Its soft earth tones complement the relaxed coastal aesthetic common in this part of the Florida Panhandle, and it works beautifully for patios, pathways, and decorative beds.
Complete Your Outdoor Stone Project
Pairing stone borders with fresh mulch in your planting beds creates a clean, defined look that also keeps mulch from washing across gravel areas during heavy rains. Adding quality garden soil to raised beds adjacent to your stone features gives you productive planting zones right alongside your low-maintenance stone ground cover.
In Navarre, installing landscape fabric beneath any stone ground cover is essential rather than optional. Navarre's sandy soil is loose enough that stone sinks into it over one or two seasons without a barrier underneath. A woven landscape fabric keeps the stone layer on top where it belongs, allows water to pass through freely, and dramatically extends how long your stone installation looks level and full without needing frequent topping off.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Stone pathways in Navarre benefit from a subtle crown or arch across the width of the path so that rainwater drains off to the sides rather than pooling in the middle. With 66 inches of annual rain, flat pathways collect standing water quickly during storm season. A center rise of even half an inch across the path width is enough to shed water and keep the surface walkable within an hour after a heavy summer thunderstorm.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Salt air from the nearby Gulf can accelerate rust and corrosion on metal edging used to contain stone borders, leaving stains on light-colored stone and requiring replacement sooner than expected. In Navarre, choosing plastic or composite edging for stone containment means your borders will outlast metal alternatives by many years without discoloring your stone or needing to be pulled out and reinstalled partway through the life of your landscape.
The Unique Landscape of Navarre
Stone is one of the most practical landscape materials available to Navarre homeowners, where sandy soil, 66 inches of annual rainfall, and a coastal environment create constant drainage and erosion challenges that organic materials struggle to solve. Gravel and decorative stone in pathways and borders do not wash away the way mulch and bare soil do during Navarre's heavy summer storms. Stone also requires almost no maintenance through the long Navarre growing season, which means it keeps looking good from the last frost in late February all the way through early December without replanting or refreshing. The Gulf Coast sun and salt air are hard on organic materials, but stone holds up indefinitely and retains its appearance year after year. Whether you need to control erosion along a slope, create a low-maintenance side yard, or build a durable foundation border, stone is a smart long-term choice in a Navarre landscape.
Frequently Asked Questions
Click a question to see the answer
Answer
What type of stone works best for drainage in Navarre's sandy yards?
Clean crushed gravel or river rock in a 1 to 1.5 inch size works very well for drainage channels and French drain systems in Navarre. Sandy soil already drains fast, but in low areas near the coast the issue is often directing water flow rather than improving absorption. A gravel-lined swale or dry creek bed moves water away from structures efficiently and adds a natural visual element to the landscape.
Answer
Will pea gravel stay in place during Navarre's heavy summer rainstorms?
Pea gravel can shift during intense rain events, especially on any slope or near a downspout. In Navarre where summer thunderstorms can drop 2 to 3 inches of rain in under an hour, it helps to install edging around pea gravel paths and set the stone on top of landscape fabric to prevent it from sinking into the sandy base over time. Heavier crushed stone or river rock stays in place better on sloped areas.
Answer
Is stone a good choice for a low-maintenance side yard in Navarre?
Stone is one of the best options for low-maintenance side yards in Navarre. Areas that receive full afternoon sun and dry out quickly between rains are difficult to keep planted, but a clean stone ground cover over landscape fabric looks good year-round with almost no upkeep. Stone does not need to be replenished like mulch, and it will not fade under Navarre's intense Gulf Coast sun.
Answer
How much stone do I need for a gravel pathway in my Navarre yard?
For a gravel pathway in Navarre, a 2 to 3 inch depth over compacted sand is typically sufficient to create a stable, walkable surface. Measure the length and width of your path in feet, multiply those numbers together, and divide by 108 for a 3-inch depth to get cubic yards. Because Navarre's sandy base is somewhat compressible, adding landscape fabric beneath the gravel prevents the stone from sinking after the first season.
Answer
Can I use stone around my Navarre home's foundation to help with drainage?
Yes, a gravel border around the foundation perimeter is a very practical choice in Navarre. It keeps moisture from pooling against your foundation during the rainy season from June through September, deters pests from nesting in organic mulch pressed against the house, and reduces the maintenance involved in trimming plants in a tight foundation border. A 12 to 18 inch wide strip of crushed stone or river rock is a common and effective approach.
Answer
Does stone get too hot to walk on barefoot during a Navarre summer?
Darker colored stones can get quite hot in Navarre's direct summer sun, particularly in July and August when temperatures stay in the low 90s for weeks at a time. Lighter colored stones like white marble chips or buff-toned pea gravel reflect more heat and stay cooler underfoot. For areas where barefoot use is expected, choosing a lighter stone color and placing it where surrounding plants cast partial shade makes a significant difference.
Answer
Will stone help with the erosion problems along my sloped Navarre backyard?
Stone is an excellent erosion control solution for sloped areas in Navarre. Because the area sits at a low elevation and receives 66 inches of rain annually, slopes in Navarre yards can lose significant topsoil over just a few seasons if left unprotected. Laying river rock or large crushed stone over landscape fabric on a slope slows water velocity, holds soil in place, and eliminates the need to replant or repair eroded areas repeatedly.
Answer
Is crush and run the same as crusher run?
Crush and run refers to crushed stone blended with stone dust that compacts tight for driveways and paver bases. With Navarre's sandy soil and heavy summer rainfall, our clean Crushed Stone #57 is a better fit for drainage focused projects since the fines are washed out and water passes through freely instead of holding moisture near your home.
