Placing an order online was so easy. Delivery was on time. When the driver realized we had a newly poured driveway they erred on the side of caution and opted not ti drive in it. The company even sent me a message explaining that call. Would recommend!

One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, or somewhat less if you go to 3 inches for better weed suppression and coverage over fabric. Measure your bed length by width, decide on depth based on how much foot traffic or runoff the area sees, and order in full cubic yards since this is a one time install, not something you will be refreshing next spring. Most Santa Fe front beds and downspout aprons run one to three yards depending on size.
Couldn't load pickup availability
We hand-pick and partner with the best yards in your region, keep only the ones our buyers rate well, and back each load with our guarantee.
If your landscape rock isn't the quantity or quality you ordered, we'll make it right.

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

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.
Landscape fabric underneath is what makes this a decade long install instead of a stone bed full of weeds by next summer. A lot of customers pair rock borders with a run of edging to keep it from migrating into the lawn, especially on the flatter lots around town where there is not much natural slope to hold it in place.

Lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down, not after. In Santa Fe's clay loam, skipping fabric means the rock slowly presses into the soil over a season or two and weeds root straight through from underneath. Fabric keeps the stone sitting on top where it belongs and where it actually blocks weed growth instead of just slowing it down for a few months.
The most common mistake here is treating rock beds like mulch beds and expecting them to feed the soil around plants. They do not, and over time bare clay loam under rock can compact hard. If you are ringing shrubs or perennials that want organic matter, keep rock to hardscape zones and downspout areas instead and use mulch where roots need to breathe.
Order rock in full cubic yards rather than rounding down, since running short mid install means a second delivery charge for a partial load. Because this is a one time job unlike annual mulch refreshes, it is worth measuring twice and ordering slightly generous, especially around foundations where you want even coverage without a visible seam where two batches meet.
Santa Fe sits on clay loam that holds water and drains slowly, which is exactly the kind of soil where rock beats mulch around foundations and downspouts. With frost only a real concern from mid December to mid February, there is no freeze heave cycle here to shift stone out of place year after year. Near Jack Brooks Park and through the older residential streets, a lot of yards use rock borders to handle runoff from flat, low elevation lots sitting at just 30 feet. Once it is down over fabric, it stays down through our long hot season without breaking down like organic mulch does.
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.
