About this landscape rock

Smooth tumbled river rock, heavy enough to stay put in drainage runs and handsome enough for beds and borders.

We had a great experience with mulch mound! Our mulch arrived when we requested. The delivery fee was so reasonable. We’ll use them again for sure!

At the standard 2 to 3 inch depth, one cubic yard of landscape rock covers roughly 162 square feet at the shallow end of that range. Measure your bed's length and width, decide whether you want 2 inches for a lighter refresh look or 3 inches for better weed suppression, and order in full cubic yards since this is a bulk delivery, not a bag count. Most Orem front yards run 2 to 4 yards depending on how much lawn is being converted.

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.

A yard is approximately 27 cubic feet. As a general guideline, one yard of material can cover an area of about 10 feet by 10 feet at a few inches deep.

First time going with this company for mulch and it was an efficient process from start to finish. Website was easy—I told them exactly where I wanted the mulch put on my driveway, and it was delivered perfectly when I got home from work the next day. Best deal around when I compared it to competitors and I will definitely be becoming back.

Landscape fabric underneath is what makes rock a decade-long install instead of a weed patch, so budget for a roll if your beds don't already have it down. Steel or paver edging keeps the stone from migrating into the lawn, especially on the sloped lots common around Orem's benches. If any beds border planting areas that need real soil feeding, a bark or mulch product still makes more sense there than rock.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

In Orem's alkaline loam, skip landscape fabric directly against foundation walls and leave a small soil gap instead, trapped moisture between fabric and concrete in freeze-thaw cycles can push efflorescence into the stone over years. Lay fabric starting a few inches out from the wall, then let the rock feather in against the foundation itself so water has somewhere to go besides straight down against the concrete.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake we see on rock beds here is installing at 1 inch depth to save material, which looks fine for a season then blows thin and lets weeds punch through by the second summer. Stick to the 2 to 3 inch range every time, even on small beds, since the labor to fix a thin bed later costs more than the extra half yard would have upfront.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock is a one time install, so it's worth ordering slightly more than your calculator says rather than running short, since matching the exact same stone later can be difficult if a supplier's inventory shifts. Pair leftover rock with a dry well or downspout splash area, both common needs on Orem lots where roof runoff needs somewhere to go besides bare dirt.

Decorative Stone in Orem

Orem's alkaline loam is well-draining to start with, so rock over fabric stays put and doesn't churn into the soil the way it can in wetter or sandier ground. At 4,767 feet the freeze-thaw swings between that October first frost and April last frost can heave loose gravel if it's laid too thin, so depth matters more here than in milder climates. Rock is a common choice for the foundation beds on Orem's older family lots, where homeowners want a clean, low-water border that doesn't compete with lawn irrigation. It also holds up well against the wind that comes off the Wasatch benches.

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

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

Will landscape rock work well in Orem's soil or should I amend first?

Rock actually performs better than mulch in Orem's alkaline loam because the soil already drains reasonably well, so you don't need heavy amending underneath. Just grade the bed flat, remove weeds and debris, and lay fabric before the stone. No soil amendment is needed since rock isn't feeding anything, it's a surface treatment.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a 300 square foot front bed?

At 2 inches deep, one yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 300 square foot bed needs just under 2 cubic yards. Round up to 2 yards to account for uneven grading and edges, and go to 3 yards if you want the fuller 3 inch depth for better weed control.

Answer

When is the best time to install rock in Orem before winter hits?

Aim to finish before the first frost around October 21, since working frozen or snow covered ground makes grading and fabric placement much harder. Spring after the April 27 last frost also works well, before summer heat makes long days of shoveling less pleasant. Rock itself isn't frost sensitive once installed.

Answer

Can the delivery truck reach my backyard or does it have to stay on the driveway?

Trucks generally place material as close to your work area as access allows, but tight side yards, gates, or steep slopes common on Orem's benches may mean the load stays on the driveway or street. Let us know about access restrictions when you schedule so we can plan the drop location.

Answer

Should I choose rock or mulch for the beds along my house foundation?

Rock is generally the better choice against foundations since it doesn't hold moisture against siding or attract wood destroying insects the way organic mulch can. It's also a one time install rather than an annual refresh. Choose mulch instead for beds with plants that benefit from organic matter breaking down into the soil.
