At a 2 inch install depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a typical 300 square foot foundation bed runs close to 2 yards. Going to 3 inches for heavier drainage areas around downspouts cuts coverage down, so measure the bed first and decide on depth before ordering. Rock is a one time install, so it pays to size the order right rather than come back for a small top off later.

A yard is approximately 27 cubic feet. As a general guideline, one yard of material can cover an area of about 100-160 square feet at a 2-3 inch depth.

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 makes rock a decade long groundcover instead of a weedy mess, so most jobs order that alongside the stone. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the rock from migrating into the lawn or driveway over time, which matters more here where yards slope toward the street. Some customers pair a rock border with mulch in the planting beds further from the foundation, using rock where drainage control matters most.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Fabric matters more with rock than with mulch because rock traps every leaf that lands on it and never breaks down to bury them. In O'Fallon, fall drop from mature trees around older neighborhoods means rock beds without fabric collect a leaf mat that's a pain to clean out every November. Lay fabric first, overlap seams by a few inches, and pin it down before the stone goes on. Skipping this step is the most common regret we hear about a year later.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

A common mistake is installing rock too deep, thinking more coverage means less maintenance. Past 3 inches, rock actually shifts more underfoot and makes it harder to spot weeds pushing through fabric seams. Stick to the 2 to 3 inch range, it settles enough to look finished without wasting material or creating a loose surface that migrates during heavy spring rain, which O'Fallon gets plenty of between March and May.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Since rock is a one time install rather than an annual refresh, it is worth ordering slightly more than the bare minimum calculation, especially along edges where settling evens out over the first season. A little extra also gives you material to top off after the first winter freeze thaw cycle in zone 6b, when the base can compact and show gaps near foundation walls before it stabilizes for good.

Decorative Stone in O'Fallon

O'Fallon sits on silt loam that drains slower than sandy soil, which means beds near foundations and downspouts can stay damp longer after storms rolling through in spring and fall. Rock does not compact or wash the way mulch does, so it holds its line through wet stretches and through zone 6b winters without breaking down. A lot of the front yard groundcover work we deliver for goes into beds near entryways and around drainage points where homeowners are tired of reworking soggy mulch every year. It is not a fit for beds where you want organic matter feeding the plants, but for structure and drainage control it holds up.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answer

How long does landscape rock actually last before I need to redo it?

Unlike mulch, rock is not an annual refresh. Installed over fabric at the right depth, it holds its look for a decade or more with only occasional raking to keep it level. Freeze thaw cycles here in zone 6b can shift the top layer slightly the first winter, but after that it settles and stays put.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a bed along my foundation?

One cubic yard covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth. Measure your bed's length and width, multiply for square footage, and divide by 162 to get a rough yard count, then round up. A typical 300 square foot foundation bed runs close to 2 cubic yards at that depth.

Answer

Is spring or fall a better time to install rock in O'Fallon?

Either works since rock is not weather sensitive like mulch or seed, but many people install after leaf drop in late fall once trees are bare, so fabric goes down clean without leaves already on top. Installing before the ground freezes around late October also lets you finish before winter weather sets in.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck place the rock, and what do I need to prepare?

The truck drops the load wherever you specify, usually the driveway or a spot close to the work area, and you schedule the actual delivery window at checkout. Clear a path for the truck beforehand and put down a tarp or plywood if you're worried about staining pavement, since rock can leave marks if left sitting directly on concrete.

Answer

Should I choose rock or mulch for beds around my downspouts?

Rock is the better call around downspouts because it does not wash out or compact the way mulch does when water runs through repeatedly, and O'Fallon's silt loam soil already drains slowly, so that runoff sits longer than in sandier soil. The tradeoff is rock won't feed the soil the way mulch does, so it's not ideal if you're planting directly into that bed.
