One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, or a bit less if you go to 3 inches for better coverage against erosion. Measure your bed's length and width, decide your depth, then order in full cubic yards since this is a bulk delivered product, not a bagged one. Most Sedalia foundation beds and downspout runs land between 2 and 5 cubic yards depending on the length of the run.

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

Landscaping fabric goes down first to keep rock from sinking into that silt loam over time. A lot of customers pair rock with edging to keep it out of the lawn, and some run a mulch bed nearby for plantings that actually want organic matter feeding the soil. Rock and mulch together let you split a yard into low-maintenance zones and planted zones without one bleeding into the other.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscaping fabric before the rock goes down, not after, and overlap seams by at least six inches. Sedalia's silt loam is fine grained enough that it will work up through gaps in the fabric over a few seasons if the seams aren't tight, and once fine soil mixes into the rock layer you lose the clean look and the weed suppression both.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock beds near mature trees will collect leaves every fall, and unlike mulch you can't just till them in. Plan on blowing or raking leaves off the rock surface each autumn before Sedalia's first frost around October 17, otherwise decomposing leaf litter builds a thin soil layer on top of your rock that lets weeds root in.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock is a one time install, not a yearly refresh like mulch, so the labor savings show up over years, not in the first season. If you're doing foundation beds and planting beds in the same project, order rock and mulch on the same delivery to save a second trip, since both are sold and dropped by the cubic yard.

Decorative Stone in Sedalia

Sedalia's silt loam holds water well, which is good for the fairgrounds pasture ground but not for a bed pressed against your foundation. Landscape rock over fabric gives you a dry, stable surface that does not compact or wash out the way mulch can during a heavy Missouri downpour. It works well in the low-maintenance front beds common around here, especially where downspouts dump water fast and mulch tends to float away. Zone 6b winters won't break rock down, so what you install this year still looks right in five.

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 in Sedalia's clay-heavy silt loam soil?

Yes, rock actually performs better than mulch in Sedalia's silt loam because it does not absorb water and compact the way organic material does. Install it over fabric so the rock stays separated from the soil beneath, this keeps the bed draining well even after heavy spring rain around the fairgrounds area and beyond.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a foundation bed around my house?

One cubic yard covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth. A typical 60 foot foundation run at 2 feet wide is about 120 square feet, so plan on roughly 1 cubic yard at 2 inches or closer to 1.5 yards if you go to 3 inches for better weed control.

Answer

When is the best time to install landscape rock in Sedalia?

Anytime the ground isn't frozen works, but late spring after the April 14 last frost or early fall before October 17 gives you dry, workable soil for laying fabric. Avoid installing right after a heavy rain since wet silt loam gets sticky and makes fabric placement harder than it needs to be.

Answer

Where will the rock be dropped and can the truck reach my backyard?

The truck places the load in your driveway or the closest accessible spot to your project area, delivery day details and any access notes get sorted out at checkout. If your bed is in the backyard, plan on wheelbarrowing the rock from the drop point, so clear a path beforehand.

Answer

Should I choose landscape rock or mulch for my beds around Sedalia?

Rock makes sense for foundation beds, downspout areas, and low-maintenance zones where you want a one time install that lasts for years. Mulch is the better call for planting beds where trees and shrubs benefit from organic matter breaking down into the silt loam. Many Sedalia yards use both, split by zone.
