Placing an order online was so easy. Delivery was on time. When the driver realized we had a newly poured driveway they erred on the side of caution and opted not ti drive in it. The company even sent me a message explaining that call. Would recommend!

Landscape rock is sold by the cubic yard, and one yard spread at a 2 to 3 inch depth covers roughly 162 square feet at the shallow end of that range. Measure your bed length and width, multiply for square footage, then divide by 162 to estimate yards needed at 2 inches, adjusting down slightly if you go closer to 3 inches deep. Most Pearland front bed refreshes run somewhere between 2 and 5 cubic yards depending on how much of the yard is in beds versus turf.

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.
Landscape fabric underneath is what makes this a decade-long install instead of a weed patch by summer, so budget for it if you don't already have some down. Edging, whether steel or paver, keeps rock from migrating into the lawn during heavy rain events. Some customers pair a rock border with mulch in the planting beds themselves, since rock does not feed soil the way organic mulch does.
In Pearland's gumbo clay, always run landscape fabric before rock, even in beds that already drain reasonably well. Without it, clay works its way up through the stone within a year or two and the bed starts looking muddy and dull instead of clean. Fabric also stops rock from sinking into soft clay after heavy rain, which is common here given how slowly this soil drains once saturated.
The biggest mistake we see locally is piling rock right against siding or brick without a gap. Pearland's humid summers mean moisture sits at the foundation line, and rock packed tight there traps it against the wall. Leave a couple inches of clearance and slope the bed slightly away from the house so water sheds instead of collecting.
Rock is a one time install, not a seasonal refresh like mulch, so it is worth spending a bit more up front on fabric and edging to get it right the first time. Pairing rock borders with mulched planting beds lets you use rock where it excels, foundations and downspouts, while keeping organic material where plants actually need it.
Pearland's gumbo clay drains slowly, and during the wetter stretches between Feb 15 and Dec 5 that clay stays saturated longer than sandier soils would. Rock beds laid over fabric shed that surface water instead of holding it against your foundation, which matters with our short mild winters and mostly zone 9b growing season keeping things green and root-active year round. Homeowners here lean on rock for foundation borders and downspout aprons where organic mulch would just break down faster in the humidity. It is a common choice for low-maintenance front yards that still need to look finished when the grass goes dormant.
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.
