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!

One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, which is the standard install depth for most bed and groundcover applications. For heavier coverage or areas that see foot traffic, go closer to 3 inches and adjust your yardage down accordingly. Measure your bed's length and width first, then decide on depth based on how the space gets used.

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.
Most Omaha customers pairing rock with landscape fabric first, since fabric is what keeps this a decade-long install instead of a rock garden full of weeds by August. Edging material helps keep rock contained along driveways and walkways, especially on sloped lots. If you have planting beds nearby that need organic matter, a separate mulch order for those areas keeps rock and mulch doing the jobs they are each good at.
Service area
Lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down, not after, and overlap the seams by several inches. Omaha's silty loam pushes fine sediment up through gaps over time, and without fabric you will be pulling weeds out of your rock bed by the second summer. Pin the fabric every couple feet so wind and freeze thaw cycles through our winters do not lift the edges and expose bare soil underneath the stone.
Rock traps fallen leaves instead of letting them break down into the soil, which matters here given how many mature trees line older Omaha neighborhoods near the zoo and midtown. Plan on blowing or raking leaves off rock beds each fall before they mat down and smother the stone's drainage. Skipping this for even one season means digging out compacted leaf litter the following spring.
Order slightly more than your calculated yardage, since settling and uneven ground can eat into your coverage faster than expected. It costs less overall to get one full delivery sized right than to schedule a second small top-off trip later. If you are covering a large area, ask about pairing rock in high-visibility zones with mulch in planting beds to stretch your budget across the whole yard.
Omaha's silty loam compacts and sheds water fast once it is saturated, which is exactly why rock works so well around downspouts and low areas where mulch tends to float or wash. With a growing season bounded by an April 20 last frost and an October 10 first frost, homeowners here have a narrow window to get beds finished before winter, and rock installed over fabric skips the seasonal redo entirely. It is a common choice for foundation borders on the ranch and split-level homes common around the city, where keeping soil and moisture away from the house matters. It does not feed the soil, so keep it away from beds where you want perennials or shrubs to thrive.
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.
