At a standard 2 inch install depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a typical 300 square foot bed runs close to 2 cubic yards. If you want a deeper 3 inch layer for better weed suppression, plan on roughly a third more material per yard of coverage. Measure your bed's length and width first, then we can help you land on a number before checkout.

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.

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

Most Richmond customers lay landscape fabric underneath before the rock goes down, which is what makes it a decade-long install instead of a weed patch by next summer. Edging, whether steel or a simple trenched border, keeps the stone from migrating into the lawn during heavy rain or snowmelt. If part of the yard still needs organic beds for actual plantings, a hardwood mulch delivered alongside the rock keeps both zones looking intentional.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Before you order, walk your bed after a rain and note where water actually sits, Richmond's silt loam holds moisture longer than sandier soils and low spots will show it fast. Grade those areas slightly before laying fabric so the rock does not become a shallow puddle liner. A quarter inch of slope away from the foundation is usually enough to keep water moving instead of pooling under the stone.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake is skipping fabric to save a step, then fighting silt washing up through the rock within a season since our local soil is fine grained and migrates easily. Lay a woven fabric, not the thin spunbond kind, pin it well, then place the rock on top. Skipping this step means you are back out here reworking the bed in two or three years instead of getting the decade of low maintenance this material is meant for.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order slightly more than your calculated minimum rather than less, since running short mid project means a second delivery fee and a visible seam where two batches of stone meet if the color varies at all between loads. Rock is a one time cost against years of no mulching, no fading, and no annual refresh, so it pays to size the order right the first time rather than patch it later.

Decorative Stone in Richmond

Richmond sits on silt loam that drains slowly and compacts when wet, which is exactly the kind of ground that turns bare dirt into mud along foundations and downspouts every spring thaw. Landscape rock solves that by capping the soil so water sheds off instead of pooling, and it holds up through Richmond's freeze thaw cycles between the Apr 20 last frost and Oct 15 first frost without shifting much. It is a common choice for the strip along a house foundation or a low bed near Glen Miller Park style plantings where homeowners want structure without mowing or mulching every year. Just know it does not feed the soil the way an organic mulch would, so keep it away from beds where you actually want plants thriving.

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

Will landscape rock work around my downspouts without washing away?

Yes, that is one of its best uses. Set larger rock right at the downspout outlet where water hits hardest, then finer rock further out, and use fabric underneath to keep Richmond's silt loam from washing up through the stone during heavy spring rain.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a 400 square foot bed?

At the standard 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 400 square foot bed needs roughly 2.5 cubic yards. Going to 3 inches deep for better coverage pushes that closer to 3.5 cubic yards.

Answer

What time of year is best to install rock in Richmond?

Late spring after the Apr 20 last frost through early fall before the Oct 15 first frost gives you dry, workable soil for laying fabric and grading. Avoid installing right after heavy rain since Richmond's silt loam gets soft and compacts unevenly under a fresh load of stone.

Answer

Where will the truck put the load and can it reach my backyard?

We place the load wherever you specify at a hard, accessible spot, usually a driveway, since full size delivery trucks generally cannot cross lawns or tight side yards. If your project is in the backyard, plan on wheelbarrowing from the drop point or let us know about access constraints when you order.

Answer

Should I choose rock or mulch for a bed near my foundation?

Rock is the better call right against a foundation since it does not decompose, hold moisture against the house, or need yearly replacing. Mulch feeds soil and suits planting beds, but along a foundation in Richmond's wetter silt loam, rock sheds water better and lasts far longer without upkeep.
