How Much Landscape Rock Do I Need?
At a typical 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's square footage first, then figure closer to 3 inches if you're covering fabric near downspouts or foundations where drainage matters most. Most Portland front yard projects run somewhere between one and three cubic yards depending on bed size.

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!

Landscaping fabric underneath is what makes this a decade long install instead of a weed patch by next summer. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the rock from migrating into the lawn or garden beds, which matters with our seasonal rain runoff. Some customers layer in a bit of bark elsewhere in the yard for beds where they still want organic matter feeding the volcanic loam.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Lay landscaping fabric before the rock goes down, always. In Portland's wet season, skipping fabric means the rock works its way into the volcanic loam underneath within a couple of years, and you end up dredging stone out of mud every spring. Pin the fabric at overlaps and run it up against any edging so silt from the loam doesn't creep in from the sides. This single step is the difference between a ten year install and a five year regret.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
The biggest mistake we see locally is people using rock as mulch around plants that actually want organic matter. Rock traps falling leaves instead of breaking them down, and over a wet Portland winter that trapped leaf litter turns into a slimy mat that smothers whatever's growing underneath. Reserve rock for true groundcover zones, foundations, downspout aprons, and paths, and keep the planting beds in bark or compost instead.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Order rock and any edging or fabric together as one delivery instead of piecemeal trips, since a full cubic yard drop is more efficient than three separate errands. If you're doing multiple zones, rock near the foundation and bark further into the planting beds, plan both quantities at once so you're not short on install day. Leftover rock stores fine in a covered bin for touch ups later, unlike bark which breaks down in storage.
Decorative Stone in Portland
Portland's volcanic loam holds water well into spring, and a lot of front yards here fight soggy beds and moss creep from November through March. Landscape rock over fabric gives you a surface that sheds our rain instead of absorbing it, which matters when first frost isn't until mid November and the ground stays workable most of the wet season. It's a common fix around downspouts and foundation lines where the loam stays saturated longest. Just know it won't feed the soil the way bark or compost does, so keep it away from beds where you want plants rooting into that rich volcanic ground.
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.
