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?
At a 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard of landscape rock covers roughly 162 square feet at the shallow end. For a 200 square foot bed along a foundation or downspout run, plan on a little more than a yard and a half to get full coverage without thin spots. Measure length by width for each bed and add them together before ordering, it is easier to combine one delivery than to reorder later.

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
Landscape fabric underneath is worth doing right the first time, since rock over bare silt loam will work its way into the soil within a season or two. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the stone from migrating onto the lawn, especially where beds meet mowed grass. Some customers layer in a bed of mulch elsewhere on the property for plantings that actually need organic matter, since rock and mulch serve different jobs.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down, not after, and overlap seams by at least six inches since Quincy's silt loam will push fabric edges apart as it freezes and thaws each winter. Skipping fabric means the rock sinks into the soil within one or two seasons and you end up buying more just to keep the same coverage, which defeats the point of a one time install.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
The most common mistake is piling rock too deep near downspouts, thinking more stone equals better drainage. Beyond 3 inches the rock actually holds water against the foundation instead of shedding it. Keep it at 2 to 3 inches everywhere except in a small splash zone directly under the downspout, where a slightly deeper pad handles the impact without overdoing the whole bed.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Order the full quantity in one delivery rather than staging it in two trips, since rock color can vary slightly between loads depending on the quarry run. Matching an older section to a new one is harder with stone than with mulch, so if you are extending an existing bed, over order by a few bags worth of material to keep the color consistent across the whole yard.
Decorative Stone in Quincy
Quincy's silt loam soil compacts and holds moisture, which is fine for lawns but frustrating for beds against the house where you want water moving away, not sitting. Rock beds handle that runoff without breaking down or needing replacement, and they hold up through the freeze and thaw cycle between our Apr 15 last frost and Oct 15 first frost. Homeowners near downspouts and foundations around the Gem City use it for exactly this reason, it does not shift or wash out. It is also a common choice for low-maintenance beds visible from the street, including yards within view of landmarks like Villa Kathrine, where a clean, uniform look matters more than plant density.
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.
