Wonderful experience! They put the mulch exactly where we wanted. This mulch spread very easily and didn’t have the usual “mulch smell.” We will definitely use again!

Landscape rock covers about 162 square feet per cubic yard at a 2 inch depth, which is the standard install depth for most bed and groundcover applications. Measure your bed's length and width, multiply for square footage, then divide by 162 to get cubic yards needed at 2 inches, or by about 108 if you're going closer to 3 inches for heavier foot traffic areas.

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!
Great service. We ordered topsoil from Mulch Mound and the best experience. Thank you so much!
Landscape fabric underneath is what makes rock a decade install instead of a weed farm, so budget for it if you don't already have it down. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the stone out of the lawn and off the driveway, especially useful on Olathe's flatter lots where mowers cut close to bed lines. If you're also doing a planting bed nearby, keep the rock and any mulch on separate sides of the edging so the clay soil under the plants keeps getting organic matter.
Service area
Olathe's clay compacts hard under standing water, so before you spread rock, check that your bed actually slopes away from the foundation. A lot of Olathe yards were graded flat during subdivision buildout, and rock over a flat clay bed just becomes a rock-lined puddle after a spring storm. Add a slight grade with a rake before laying fabric, even half an inch of fall over a few feet makes a real difference in how the bed drains after our heavier spring rains.
The biggest mistake with rock beds here is skipping fabric maintenance. Leaves from mature trees around older Olathe neighborhoods collect in rock and break down right on top of the fabric, building a thin soil layer that lets weed seeds germinate anyway. Blow or rake leaves out of rock beds each fall before your first frost around October 28, rather than letting them sit through winter and rot in place.
If you're covering a large front yard bed, consider a two-tier approach, larger rock along the foundation for drainage and a smaller, cheaper decorative rock further out where appearance matters more than function. This cuts total tonnage cost without changing how the bed performs, since the foundation zone is the part actually managing water off your roofline.
Olathe sits on heavy clay that drains slowly, so any bed low enough to catch runoff turns to mud by the second wet week of spring. Rock over landscape fabric solves that problem where mulch would just wash or compact into the clay. It's a strong fit for the foundation beds and downspout zones common on Olathe's newer subdivision lots, where builders graded tight and water needs somewhere to go. Just keep it away from planting beds where you actually want organic matter breaking into that clay over time.
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.
