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!
Complete Your Outdoor Project
Landscape fabric underneath is worth doing right the first time, since pulling rock back up to fix a fabric failure later is a real chore. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the rock from migrating into lawn areas or planting beds during our winter rains. Some customers pair a rock border with mulch in the planting beds themselves, using rock only where they want a hard, permanent line.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Seattle's glacial till compacts hard when wet, so before you lay fabric, break up the top few inches of soil if the bed has been sitting undisturbed. Rock laid straight over compacted till without any grading will pool water on the surface during heavy fall rain instead of shedding it, defeating the whole point of using rock near your foundation in the first place.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Big leaf maples and conifers drop constantly here from September into December, and rock traps that debris on the surface instead of letting it break down like mulch would. Plan on blowing or raking your rock beds monthly through fall, otherwise you get a mat of decomposing leaf litter sitting on top that holds moisture against your foundation, which is exactly what the rock was supposed to prevent.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Because this is a one time install rather than an annual refresh, spend the extra effort on fabric and edging quality up front rather than skimping to save on the rock itself. A properly edged and fabric-lined bed here can go a decade without needing rock added back in, while a rushed install means weeds pushing through within a couple of wet seasons and having to pull rock back to fix it.
Decorative Stone in Seattle
Seattle's glacial till drains slowly, so standing water around foundations and downspouts is a real problem for a lot of yards here. A 2 to 3 inch layer of rock over fabric moves water off the surface instead of letting it pool in that dense, compacted subsoil. It also holds up under the region's near constant fall leaf drop better than mulch, though you will need to blow or rake leaves off it since it does not absorb them into the ground. It's a common choice for the low-maintenance front yard beds you see all over neighborhoods like Ballard and Wallingford.
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.
