I contacted Mulch Mound for #57 river rocks and it was easy and fast to get a delivery right before the holiday weekend. Stone was delivered as promised and place exactly where I asked. Excellent service! I will be ordering mulch next!

One cubic yard covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, which is the standard install depth for most front-yard beds. Go to 3 inches for high-traffic spots or areas near downspouts where OP's clay soil pushes runoff around, and figure roughly 108 square feet per yard at that depth. Measure your bed square footage first, then divide by the coverage number for your target depth to land on a cubic yard count.

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.

I couldn't be happier with the speed and quality of the mulch delivery service of Mulch Mound. Every detail from ordering, to communication with on time delivery, to perfect product placement was amazing. I needed more and I got it within 2 hours! I'm never doing this with bags again.
Landscape fabric underneath is what actually makes this a decade-long install instead of a rock garden full of weeds by August. Steel or aluminum edging keeps it out of the lawn and out of the clay soil beds where mowers will otherwise scatter it. A lot of Overland Park customers pair rock borders with mulch in the planting beds themselves, since rock against the house and mulch around the shrubs solves two different problems.
Service area
In Overland Park's clay soil, always lay landscape fabric before rock, not after. Clay holds moisture right at the surface, and without a fabric barrier the rock will slowly sink and mix into the mud over a few seasons, especially near downspouts. Fabric keeps the stone riding on top where it belongs and keeps your 2 to 3 inch depth honest instead of losing an inch to settling within the first year.
The biggest mistake we see locally is installing rock beds under large shade trees near the Arboretum-style plantings common in OP. Rock traps falling leaves instead of breaking them down like mulch does, so those beds need a leaf blower or rake pass every couple weeks in October and November or they turn into a compost layer on top of your stone.
Order slightly more than your calculator says if you are working close to a foundation or a downspout, those spots take a heavier 3 inch depth to handle Overland Park's runoff without rock migrating during hard rain. It is far more efficient to get one full delivery sized right than to pay for a second small run because you underestimated by half a yard.
Overland Park sits on heavy clay that drains slowly, and rock beds around downspouts and foundations handle that standing water better than any organic mulch. With zone 6a swings between a hard freeze past October 20 and a last frost near April 10, rock does not heave, fade, or wash out the way bark products do. A lot of OP homeowners near the Arboretum and Botanical Gardens area lean into low-maintenance stone beds because the clay makes digging and amending a chore every single season. Once it is down over fabric, it stays down through freeze thaw cycles for a decade or more.
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.
