Great service. We ordered topsoil from Mulch Mound and the best experience. Thank you so much!

One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, which is the standard depth for most groundcover beds. If you want a deeper 3 inch bed, figure closer to 108 square feet per cubic yard. Measure your bed's length and width first, then decide on depth based on whether it's decorative cover or a heavier-use area like around a downspout.

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!

Landscape fabric underneath is what makes rock a decade-long groundcover instead of a bed that grows weeds through the gaps within a season. A lot of Orlando customers also pair rock borders with mulch in the planting beds themselves, using rock where they want zero maintenance and mulch where plants still need organic matter feeding the soil.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

In Orlando's sandy soil, skip the temptation to skip fabric underneath. Sand alone lets rock settle and sink over a few seasons, and stone starts working its way into the soil instead of sitting on top of it. A woven landscape fabric barrier keeps the rock layer intact for years and stops sand from migrating up through the gaps every time it rains hard, which around here is often.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake we see in Orlando yards is rock beds installed too close to irrigation heads without adjusting spray patterns first. Stone doesn't compress the way mulch does, so a head that used to clear the bed can end up half buried or spraying directly onto stone and back onto siding. Walk your zones and adjust heads before the rock goes down, not after.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If a project needs both rock and mulch, order them as separate deliveries rather than trying to combine loads, it keeps your yard from turning into a mixed pile you have to sort through. Rock near the house, mulch in planting beds further out, is a layout that holds up well against Orlando's heavy summer downpours and keeps water moving away from the foundation instead of pooling in mixed material.

Decorative Stone in Orlando

Orlando's sandy soil drains fast, which is exactly why rock beds around downspouts and foundations work so well here, the water moves through instead of pooling against the house. In zone 9b the sun is intense most of the year, and rock doesn't bake down or lose color the way dyed mulch can after a summer of afternoon storms and UV. It's a common choice for low-maintenance front yards where homeowners want something that still looks sharp between the wet season and the dry stretch from December into February. Around Lake Eola area properties and the older sandy-lot neighborhoods further out, it's often the material of choice for beds that don't want organic buildup near the foundation.

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

Does landscape rock work well in Orlando's sandy soil?

Yes, sandy soil actually drains well under rock, which helps prevent the standing water problems that heavier clay soils cause. The main thing to add is landscape fabric so the rock stays on top of the sand instead of settling into it over time, especially with Orlando's heavy summer rain.

Answer

How much rock do I need for a 200 square foot bed?

At the standard 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 200 square foot bed needs a little over 1.2 cubic yards. Most people round up to 1.5 yards to have a small buffer, since running short mid-install means waiting on a second delivery.

Answer

Is there a bad time of year to install rock in Orlando?

Rock can go down anytime, but installing before the wet season ramps up in late spring makes fabric placement and grading easier since the ground is drier. Since this is a one time install rather than a seasonal refresh, timing matters less than getting the base and fabric right the first time.

Answer

Where will the rock be dropped on delivery day?

We drop the load wherever you specify, usually the driveway or curb closest to your project area. Just make sure that spot is clear and reachable for a delivery truck, and let us know at checkout if there are access issues like a narrow gate or low-hanging branches.

Answer

How is landscape rock different from mulch for a front yard bed?

Rock is a one time, decade-long install that doesn't feed the soil or break down, while mulch needs refreshing yearly but adds organic matter as it decomposes. In Orlando, a lot of homeowners use rock near foundations and downspouts where they want zero maintenance, and mulch in beds where plants benefit from that organic breakdown.
