I contacted Mulch Mound for #57 river rocks and it was easy and fast to get a delivery right before the holiday weekend. Stone was delivered as promised and place exactly where I asked. Excellent service! I will be ordering mulch next!

At the standard 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard of rock covers roughly 162 square feet at 2 inches, less if you go to 3 inches for heavier foot traffic areas. Measure your bed's length and width, decide your depth, and order in full cubic yard increments since this is a one time install you want done right. Most Riverside front yard conversions run somewhere between 3 and 8 cubic yards depending on lot size.

I recently ordered from mulch mound and was thoroughly impressed with every aspect of the experience. The entire process, from placing the order to delivery was seamless and efficient. The mulch arrived exactly on time, and the quality exceeded my expectations. The color was rich and consistent, and I received more than enough to complete my project with proper coverage and packing.
Customer service was equally outstanding. Communication was clear, and the team was responsive and professional throughout. It’s rare to find a company that delivers both a high-quality product and excellent service, but mulch mound did just that.
Highly recommended, and I wouldn’t hesitate to order from them again.

I couldn't be happier with the speed and quality of the mulch delivery service of Mulch Mound. Every detail from ordering, to communication with on time delivery, to perfect product placement was amazing. I needed more and I got it within 2 hours! I'm never doing this with bags again.
Landscape fabric goes down first if you want this to actually last a decade instead of growing weeds through the gaps. Steel or aluminum edging keeps rock from migrating into turf or planting beds, and a lot of Riverside customers pair a rock groundcover zone with a separate mulched bed for anything that actually needs organic matter, like roses or citrus.
Service area
Lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down, not after, and overlap seams by at least 6 inches. In Riverside's sandy loam, skipping fabric means the rock slowly works itself into the soil over a couple seasons and you end up topping it off, which defeats the point of a one time install. Pin the fabric every few feet so it does not shift when you are spreading rock over it.
The biggest mistake we see locally is people using rock right up against citrus or rose beds that need regular feeding. Rock traps falling leaves and blocks organic matter from reaching the soil, so keep it to foundation lines, downspout areas, and pure groundcover zones, and leave a mulched buffer around anything you actually want to grow.
Rock is a one time expense compared to mulch you replace every year or two, so it pencils out over time even though the upfront yardage costs more. Order slightly heavier gauge fabric and quality edging alongside your rock delivery, since redoing the base later means moving stone twice, which costs more in labor than doing it right the first time.
Riverside's sandy loam drains fast, which is exactly why rock outperforms organic mulch here, it does not compact into mud during the rare winter storms and it does not wash out on the gentle slopes common in the Orange Empire's older neighborhoods. With triple digit summer heat, rock over fabric stays put and does not decompose or attract the fungus gnats that bark mulch can in irrigated beds. It is a common choice around downspouts and foundation lines where homeowners want a permanent, no rot solution.
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.
