About this landscape rock

Smooth tumbled river rock, heavy enough to stay put in drainage runs and handsome enough for beds and borders.

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

At the standard 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard of landscape rock covers roughly 162 square feet at the shallow end of that range. Measure your bed length by width, decide whether you want 2 or 3 inches deep, and order in full cubic yard increments since partial loads are not how this material is sold. Most Peoria front yard beds run half a yard to two yards depending on how much lawn is being converted.

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.

A yard is approximately 27 cubic feet. As a general guideline, one yard of material can cover an area of about 10 feet by 10 feet at a few inches deep.

A ton is approximately 2,000 pounds. Coverage varies by stone type and depth, but as a general guideline, one ton covers roughly 80-100 square feet at 2 inches deep.

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 goes down first if you want this to actually last a decade without weeds pushing through the silt loam underneath. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the rock from migrating into the lawn, which matters more here than in sandier soil types. Some customers pair a rock border with mulch in the planting pockets themselves, so the beds still get organic matter where it counts.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscape fabric before the rock, not after, and overlap seams by at least six inches. Peoria's silt loam is fine textured enough that without fabric, rock will slowly work itself into the soil over a few winters of freeze and thaw, and by year five you are pulling stone out of mud instead of seeing clean gravel.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake we see is skipping edging along lawn borders. Mower wheels and expanding turf push loose rock into the grass within one growing season, and once it is mixed into topsoil you cannot get it back out. Steel edging set two inches below grade solves this permanently.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock is a one time install, so buy slightly more than your calculation rather than reordering later, since stone lots vary in tone by supplier run. Pairing a rock bed with a mulched planting pocket lets you get the low maintenance look at the foundation while keeping organic matter where perennials actually need it.

Decorative Stone in Peoria

Peoria's silt loam holds water longer than sandy soil, which means mulch beds near downspouts and low spots can stay soggy well into May. Rock does not break down or compact into that wet soil the way organic mulch does, so it holds its shape through our freeze thaw cycles each winter. With a last frost around April 25 and first frost by October 10, this region gets real freeze heave, and loose gravel over fabric handles that shifting better than bark. It is a common choice for foundation beds around Peoria homes near the Illinois River bottomland where drainage is inconsistent.

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 in Peoria's clay heavy silt loam soil?

Yes, rock actually performs better than mulch in this soil type because it does not compact or trap moisture against foundations the way organic material can. Just install fabric underneath first, since without it the rock will slowly settle into the fine textured silt loam over several winters of freeze and thaw.

Answer

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

At 2 inches deep, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 200 square foot bed needs roughly 1.25 cubic yards. Round up to 1.5 yards to cover the depth evenly at the edges where beds often run slightly deeper.

Answer

When is the best time to install rock in Peoria?

Late spring after the last frost around April 25 or early fall before October 10 both work well, since the ground is workable and not frozen or waterlogged. Avoid installing right after heavy spring rain, since wet silt loam gets compacted and rutted under wheelbarrow traffic.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck place the rock on my property?

We place the load at the curb, driveway, or another accessible spot you specify when you schedule delivery at checkout. Make sure the area is clear and reachable by a full size truck, and let us know if low branches or a narrow driveway could be an issue.

Answer

Is landscape rock better than mulch for a front yard near a downspout?

For areas that see concentrated water flow, rock holds up better than mulch since it will not float away or wash into the lawn during heavy rain. It does not feed the soil though, so if you have plants nearby that want organic matter, consider mulch in those specific pockets instead.
