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 orde...

At a 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard of landscape rock covers roughly 162 square feet at the shallow end of that range. A typical foundation bed or downspout apron runs 100 to 300 square feet, so most Paducah homeowners are looking at 1 to 2 yards for a single bed, more for a full front yard conversion. Measure length by width first, then we can help you land on the right yardage.

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!

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Landscape fabric goes down first, always, since rock without a barrier just sinks into silt loam over a season or two. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the stone from migrating onto the lawn during mowing, and a few larger boulders or a single accent tree break up a flat bed nicely. None of this is required, but jobs that skip the fabric are the ones we get called back to.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down, not after, and overlap seams by at least six inches. Paducah's silt loam is fine grained enough that without a barrier, stone will slowly work its way into the soil over two or three seasons, especially in beds that stay damp near downspouts. Once rock and soil mix, there is no clean fix short of digging it all back out and starting over.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake we see locally is piling rock right up against siding or brick without a gap. That traps moisture against the foundation after Paducah's spring rains and can stain or rot wood trim over time. Leave a couple inches of clearance at the base of the wall, and slope the bed slightly away from the house so water sheds instead of sitting.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock is a one time install, not something you refresh every spring like mulch, so it is worth spending the extra effort on prep the first time. Pair it with a few strategically placed larger stones or boulders to break up the visual monotony of a flat bed, and consider ordering slightly more than the calculator suggests since rock beds are miserable to top off later in small batches.

Decorative Stone in Paducah

Paducah's silt loam compacts and holds moisture, which is exactly why decorative rock works so well around foundations and downspout splash zones where mulch washes away or mats down. With a first frost near October 26 and last frost around April 6, this region gets a real freeze thaw cycle, and rock does not heave or wash out the way loose mulch can. It also skips the annual refresh that beds near the National Quilt Museum's older homes need every spring. Once it is down over fabric, it stays put for years, not seasons.

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 in Paducah's clay-heavy soil beds?

Yes, as long as you install landscape fabric first. Paducah's silt loam holds moisture near the surface, and without a fabric barrier the rock will slowly sink into the soil over a couple seasons. With fabric down, drainage improves and the rock stays put for years rather than needing yearly maintenance like mulch does.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a 200 square foot bed?

At a standard 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 200 square foot bed needs a little over 1 cubic yard, call it 1.25 to be safe. If you want a deeper 3 inch install for better weed suppression, plan closer to 1.75 yards for the same area.

Answer

What time of year is best to install rock in Paducah?

Early spring after the last frost around April 6 or fall before the ground firms up near October 26 both work well, since you want soil workable enough to grade and lay fabric properly. Avoid installing right after heavy rain, since silt loam gets soft and hard to compact evenly underneath the fabric.

Answer

Can your truck get close to my backyard bed?

Delivery is made curbside or to the closest accessible point for a full size truck, typically a driveway. If your project is in a backyard or behind a fence, plan on moving material by wheelbarrow from the drop point, and let us know at checkout if access is tight so we can plan the drop spot.

Answer

Is landscape rock better than mulch for my front bed?

It depends on the bed. Rock is a one time install that outlasts mulch by years and drains well in our silt loam, but it does not feed the soil and it traps falling leaves. For beds with plants that want organic matter worked in, mulch is still the better call. For foundation beds and downspout areas, rock wins on longevity.
