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

One cubic yard covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, which is the standard install for landscape rock. For heavier coverage or areas that see foot traffic, plan for 3 inches and adjust your order down to roughly 108 square feet per yard. Measure your bed square footage first, then decide on depth based on how much weed barrier and edging you already have in place.

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

Landscape fabric underneath is what makes this a decade-long install instead of a weed patch by next summer, so lay it before the rock goes down. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the rock from migrating into lawn areas, especially useful on sloped Smithfield lots. If you have planting beds nearby that need organic matter, keep the rock separate since it will not feed soil the way mulch does.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

In Smithfield's silt loam, grade the bed slightly away from your foundation before laying fabric, since rock does not absorb water the way mulch does and runoff will find the lowest point fast. A 1 inch per foot slope over the first few feet keeps snowmelt off the foundation instead of pooling under the rock where fabric can trap it.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake with landscape rock is skipping the fabric to save a step, then fighting weeds that root in accumulated dust and leaf litter within two seasons. Fabric is what turns this into the one time install it is supposed to be. Also plan on blowing out leaves each fall, since rock beds trap them worse than mulch and they will smother the surface if left through winter.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order slightly more than your calculated yardage if you are matching rock near an existing bed, since color and gravel size can vary between supplier batches over time. It is easier to blend a bit of extra now than to patch a mismatched section later. Pairing rock with a mulched planting bed nearby lets you use organic material where roots need it and rock where drainage and permanence matter more.

Decorative Stone in Smithfield

Smithfield sits at 4,636 feet with a silt loam base that holds water and can stay soggy through spring runoff before the May 5 last frost. Rock beds shed that moisture instead of trapping it against your foundation, which matters when snowmelt off Smithfield Canyon saturates yards in early spring. Because rock does not compact or wash out like organic mulch, it holds its line through freeze thaw cycles in zone 6a. It is a good match for the low-maintenance front yard look common around Utah's Health City.

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

Answer

How long does landscape rock actually last in Smithfield yards?

Properly installed over fabric, landscape rock is a one time install that holds for a decade or longer, unlike mulch which needs refreshing yearly. It does not break down or feed the soil, so it stays put through Smithfield's freeze thaw cycles. Occasional top offs after heavy snow years are normal, but a full redo is rare.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a 300 square foot bed?

At the standard 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 300 square foot bed needs just under 2 cubic yards. If you want a deeper 3 inch install for a high traffic area, plan closer to 2.75 cubic yards to get full coverage without thin spots.

Answer

When is the best time to install landscape rock before Smithfield winters?

Late summer through early fall, before the October 5 first frost, is ideal since the ground is workable and you avoid installing over frozen or saturated soil. Installing before winter also means the bed is settled and stable by the time spring snowmelt arrives.

Answer

Can the delivery truck reach my backyard or does it have to stay on the driveway?

Delivery is placed at the driveway or curb location you specify at checkout, the truck does not drive onto lawns or through gates. If your project is in a backyard, plan on wheelbarrowing the rock from the drop point, and clear a path wide enough beforehand.

Answer

Should I use landscape rock or mulch around my foundation?

Rock is the better choice against foundations since it does not hold moisture against the wall the way mulch can, and it will not need replacing every year. Mulch makes more sense in planting beds where you want organic matter breaking down into the silt loam. Many Smithfield yards use both, rock near the house and mulch further out.
