Easy to order, great service, and great product. We enjoy the final look of a very neglected beds we inherited!

At a standard 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 300 square foot bed runs close to 2 cubic yards. If you want a deeper 3 inch layer for better weed suppression, plan on roughly 108 square feet per yard instead. Measure your bed in square feet first, then divide by the coverage number for the depth you want.

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.

I recently ordered from mulch mound and was thoroughly impressed with every aspect of the experience. The entire process, from placing the order to delivery was seamless and efficient. The mulch arrived exactly on time, and the quality exceeded my expectations. The color was rich and consistent, and I received more than enough to complete my project with proper coverage and packing.

Customer service was equally outstanding. Communication was clear, and the team was responsive and professional throughout. It’s rare to find a company that delivers both a high-quality product and excellent service, but mulch mound did just that.

Highly recommended, and I wouldn’t hesitate to order from them again.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Most Oroville customers lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down, since that is what keeps this a one time install instead of a yearly chore. Steel or aluminum edging along driveways and walkways keeps the stone from migrating onto concrete. If you have planting beds mixed in, a lighter mulch nearby for the plants that actually want organic matter pairs well with rock closer to the foundation.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscape fabric before you spread, and overlap the seams by at least 6 inches so rock does not sink into the sandy loam underneath over time. Oroville's soil is loose enough that unprotected rock will slowly work its way into the ground within a couple seasons, undoing the clean look you paid for. The fabric barrier is what turns this into the decade-long install it is supposed to be.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock beds trap fallen leaves instead of breaking them down, and Oroville's oak-lined streets drop a lot of leaf litter each fall. Plan on blowing or raking beds clear a few times between October and December, otherwise trapped organic matter decomposes on top of the rock and eventually feeds weed seeds right where you did not want them.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Keep decorative rock away from plants that actually benefit from organic matter breaking down into the soil, like roses or vegetable beds. It is built for foundations, drainage paths, and low-maintenance zones, not for feeding root systems. Mixing rock in those spots with a bark mulch area elsewhere on the same property gets you the best of both without fighting the material's nature.

Decorative Stone in Oroville

Oroville's sandy loam already drains well, so rock does not sit in standing water the way it might in heavier clay soils. That same fast drainage means bare dirt patches near the Feather River bottomlands erode quickly, and a rock layer over fabric stops that. With summer heat pushing past 100 degrees and a growing season that runs zone 9b long, rock beds also cut down on the weeds that thrive in the mild winters here. It is a practical choice for anyone tired of redoing bark mulch every year in this climate.

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

How long will landscape rock actually last in Oroville's climate before I need to redo it?

With fabric underneath, a rock bed here typically lasts a decade or more without needing a refresh. Unlike mulch, it does not break down or fade from UV exposure the way organic material does. The main upkeep is clearing trapped leaves in fall and occasionally topping off any low spots from foot traffic.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a 400 square foot front yard bed?

At a 2 inch depth, 400 square feet needs about 2.5 cubic yards, since one yard covers roughly 162 square feet. If you want better coverage against weeds at 3 inches deep, plan closer to 3.7 cubic yards. Measure your actual bed first since most yards are not perfectly rectangular.

Answer

Can I install rock myself, or do I need to hire someone?

Most homeowners install rock themselves as a weekend project, since it just needs fabric down first and then the rock raked to an even depth. The main labor is spreading and leveling, which goes faster with a wheelbarrow and a garden rake. Just plan around Oroville's summer heat and work mornings if you are doing it June through August.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck place the rock, and do I need to be home?

We place the load in a driveway or accessible spot near your project area, and you will pick your delivery date at checkout. Someone does not need to be home for the drop, but the area should be clear and accessible for a loaded truck since the material is heavy and gets placed once.

Answer

Is decorative rock better than mulch for a low-maintenance yard here?

For foundations, downspout areas, and beds where you do not want annual upkeep, rock outperforms mulch since it is a one time install instead of a yearly refresh. It does not feed the soil though, so beds with plants that need organic matter are usually better suited to a bark or wood mulch instead.
