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!

One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, or a bit less if you go to the fuller 3 inch depth we recommend for foundation beds. Measure your bed's length and width, decide your depth, and order in whole cubic yards since rock does not compress or settle the way bark mulch does. Most Portland front yard beds run 2 to 4 cubic yards, but measure first, this is a one time install and running short means a mismatched second load.

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

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 install instead of a weed patch by next summer, so budget for it if the bed isn't already lined. Steel or aluminum edging keeps rock from migrating into the lawn during Portland's freeze thaw heaving, and a few larger accent boulders placed before the rock goes down give the bed a finished, intentional look rather than a flat gravel pit.

Lay landscape fabric before the rock, not after, and overlap the seams by at least six inches, Portland's rocky loam has enough native stone and root intrusion already that skipping fabric means you'll be pulling native rock and rock product apart within a year. Pin the fabric at the seams and edges since freeze heave will lift loose fabric over a winter or two and expose bare dirt lines at the border of the bed.
The biggest mistake we see locally is installing rock too deep, thinking more is better. Stick to 2 to 3 inches, deeper than that and water pools instead of draining through, which matters in a soil base that's already slow to drain. A too deep bed also buries the crowns of any existing shrubs at the edge, which suffocates them by the following season.
Pair rock with a mulched planting bed rather than using it everywhere, it costs less overall and looks more intentional to reserve rock for the high traffic strips near foundations and walkways while keeping organic mulch where plants actually need to feed. This also means less leaf litter to clean out of the rock itself, since it stays concentrated where tree canopy is lightest.
Portland sits on rocky loam that already sheds water slowly in spots, so rock groundcover around downspouts and foundations does real work here, not just decoration. With a growing zone of 5b and frost in the ground from around October 5 to May 5, organic mulches break down fast in the freeze thaw cycle, but rock does not, it just sits there and holds its line for years. A lot of Forest City properties have mature tree cover, which means falling leaves, and rock beds do trap that debris, so plan on a fall blow out or rake pass. It is a strong choice for the low maintenance strips near driveways and house edges where nobody wants to be pulling weeds every June.
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.
