About this landscape rock

Smooth tumbled river rock, heavy enough to stay put in drainage runs and handsome enough for beds and borders.

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

At a 2 inch install depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a typical 300 square foot front bed runs close to 2 cubic yards. Go to 3 inches for areas that see heavier foot traffic or runoff, like the ground below downspouts, which drops your coverage per yard. Measure the bed in square feet first, then decide on depth based on how much water and traffic that spot handles.

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.

A ton is 2,000 pounds of material. As a general guideline, one ton of rock covers roughly 100 square feet at 2 inches deep, depending on rock size and density.

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 what makes this a decade-long install instead of a weed patch by next summer, so order enough to cover the full bed footprint. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the rock from migrating into the lawn or driveway, especially on sloped beds common around Roswell's older lots. If part of the bed still holds plantings that want organic matter, keep mulch in that section and rock in the rest rather than mixing them.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

In Roswell's red clay, skip laying fabric directly on bare clay after a rain, since wet clay shifts and telegraphs ruts up through the fabric within a season. Let the bed dry for a day or two, rough grade it, then lay fabric and rock. This small delay is the difference between a bed that stays flat for ten years and one that shows every low spot by next spring.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake we see locally is piling rock right up against siding or brick veneer without a gap. Roswell's humid summers mean moisture sits at that base, and rock against siding traps it there. Leave a couple inches of clearance and use edging to hold the line, it keeps the house dry and the bed looking intentional instead of overflowing.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock is a one time cost compared to mulch's yearly refresh, so pair it with fabric and edging up front rather than skimping and redoing the bed in two years. If you have a mixed property, order rock for the foundation strips and low downspout areas, and keep mulch or pine straw for planting beds that need the organic matter red clay is short on.

Decorative Stone in Roswell

Roswell's red clay drains slowly, so water tends to pool in low beds and around downspouts after the heavy spring rains that come before the April 15 last frost. Rock over landscape fabric keeps that runoff from turning beds into mud and does not compact into the clay the way mulch eventually does. A lot of homes near Bulloch Hall and through the older Roswell neighborhoods use rock beds along foundations for exactly this reason, since it holds its line through zone 8a's wet winters and dry summer stretches. It is not a fix for planting beds where you want organic matter working into the soil, but for a foundation strip or a no-fuss front yard border it holds up for years.

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 actually last in Roswell's clay soil without sinking?

Yes, as long as it goes down over fabric rather than directly on the clay. The fabric barrier keeps rock from working its way into the soil over time. Without it, red clay's tendency to shift when wet will slowly swallow rock at the edges and low points within a couple of years.

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. If the bed sees heavy runoff or foot traffic and you want 3 inches, plan closer to 3.5 yards to keep the same coverage.

Answer

Is spring or fall a better time to install rock in Roswell?

Fall works well since the ground is drier before winter rains and you avoid working red clay right after a downpour. Spring is fine too as long as you wait until the soil dries out after the last frost around April 15. Either way, avoid installing right after heavy rain when the clay is soft.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck place the rock, and what do I need to prepare?

The driver drops the load at the driveway or curb spot you specify at checkout. Clear a path at least as wide as a standard truck and make sure there is nothing blocking that spot on delivery day. From there it is on you to move it by wheelbarrow to the actual bed location.

Answer

Should I use rock or mulch for beds around my house's foundation?

Rock is the better call for foundation strips since it does not break down, resists moisture buildup against the house when installed with a small gap, and only needs to be installed once. Mulch feeds the soil and suits planting beds, but near downspouts and foundations in Roswell's clay, rock holds its shape and drains better long term.
