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

How Much Landscape Rock Do I Need?
How Much Landscape Rock Do I Need?
One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, or less if you go to 3 inches for better weed suppression. Measure your bed length by width, decide on depth based on how much foot traffic or wind exposure the area gets, and order in full cubic yard increments since this isn't a material you want to run short on mid project. Most Pocatello front yard beds run 3 to 6 cubic yards depending on how much lawn is being converted.

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
Landscaping fabric underneath is not optional here if you want the rock to stay a rock bed and not become a rock and weed bed after a couple seasons of sandy loam creeping through. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the stone from migrating onto walkways, which matters more than people expect once the ground freezes and heaves each winter. A lot of customers also order a smaller load of mulch for planting pockets within the rock where they want actual shrubs or perennials to thrive.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
In Pocatello's climate, install fabric before the rock goes down, not after, and overlap the seams by at least 6 inches. Our freeze thaw cycles work sandy loam soil upward over a few seasons, and without fabric that soil will eventually mix into your rock bed, giving weeds a foothold and undoing the whole point of a low maintenance install. This one step is the difference between a bed that looks the same in ten years and one that needs a full redo in three.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
The biggest mistake we see locally is skipping edging because a bed looks fine the first summer. Once the ground freezes and heaves each winter near ISU and the surrounding neighborhoods, rock migrates outward onto lawns and walkways without a physical barrier holding it in place. Steel or aluminum edging set a few inches deep solves this permanently and it's a lot cheaper to install upfront than to keep raking rock back into a bed every spring.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Because this is a one time install rather than an annual refresh like mulch, it pays to size the order right the first time rather than ordering light and topping off later, since matching stone color and size from different deliveries isn't guaranteed. Order slightly over your calculated cubic yardage, extra rock is easy to use elsewhere on the property, but a mismatched top off looks patchy for years.
Decorative Stone in Pocatello
Pocatello's sandy loam drains fast, which is actually good news for rock beds since you won't get standing water pooling under the stone after spring melt. With last frost sitting around May 17 and first frost by October 8, our growing season is short, so a lot of homeowners near Idaho State University are shifting front yard space away from turf and into rock beds that don't need seasonal attention. The tradeoff is that sandy loam soil underneath still needs fabric to keep the stone from settling into it over a few winters. Around here rock also earns its keep by not blowing away in our wind events the way lighter mulch does.
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.
