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!

One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, or less if you go to the 3 inch depth some Springfield beds need on a slope. Measure your bed's length and width, decide on depth based on drainage needs, and order in full cubic yards since this is a one time install, not a seasonal top off. Most front yard beds around a Springfield home run somewhere between 2 and 5 cubic yards.

I recently ordered from mulch mound and was thoroughly impressed with every aspect of the experience. The entire process, from placing the order to delivery was seamless and efficient. The mulch arrived exactly on time, and the quality exceeded my expectations. The color was rich and consistent, and I received more than enough to complete my project with proper coverage and packing.
Customer service was equally outstanding. Communication was clear, and the team was responsive and professional throughout. It’s rare to find a company that delivers both a high-quality product and excellent service, but mulch mound did just that.
Highly recommended, and I wouldn’t hesitate to order from them again.

I couldn't be happier with the speed and quality of the mulch delivery service of Mulch Mound. Every detail from ordering, to communication with on time delivery, to perfect product placement was amazing. I needed more and I got it within 2 hours! I'm never doing this with bags again.
Landscape fabric underneath is what makes this a decade-long install instead of a weed patch by next summer, so budget for that if you have not already got it down. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the rock from migrating into the lawn, especially on the sloped yards common around Springfield. If you are working near plantings that want organic matter, a border of mulch on the bed side and rock on the foundation side keeps both zones doing their job.
Service area
Because Springfield sits on rocky clay, you may hit shallow rock outcrops digging your bed edge, especially near foundations or slopes close to the Ozark plateau bedrock. Dig your border a few inches wider than planned before you order fabric and stone, since reworking edges after delivery means moving stone twice. A clean spade edge or metal edging strip holds the line better than fabric alone once clay dries out and cracks in late summer.
The most common mistake with rock beds here is skipping fabric to save money, then fighting Bermuda grass and clay weeds pushing through within two seasons. Fabric plus rock is what makes this genuinely a one time install instead of an annual chore. The tradeoff is leaves and pine needles from Springfield's mature shade trees sit on top of the rock instead of composting into the soil, so plan on blowing or raking beds out each fall before they mat down.
If your project touches both a foundation bed and a planting bed, order rock only where you actually want permanence, and use mulch where shrubs or perennials need organic matter breaking down into the clay. Buying the two materials together in one delivery saves a second trip charge. Keep the rock depth at 2 inches near downspouts so water does not pool against the foundation at 3 inches.
Springfield's native soil is rocky clay to begin with, so a stone groundcover actually matches what is already under the turf instead of fighting it. Clay sheds water fast when it is compacted, and rock beds handle that runoff better than organic mulch, which can float or wash out in a hard Ozarks downpour. With freeze thaw cycles between the April 10 and October 20 frost dates, stone will not break down or need replacing the way bark mulch does. It is a common choice here for foundation beds and slopes where erosion is already a problem.
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.
