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 a bit less if you go to 3 inches for better coverage over fabric. Measure your bed length by width, decide on depth based on how much weed and erosion protection you want, then divide the square footage by 162 to land on cubic yards. Most single-bed St. George projects run somewhere between 2 and 6 yards depending on size.

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 goes down first to keep the rock from disappearing into sandy loam over time, and steel or aluminum edging keeps it from migrating onto walkways or driveways. Some St. George homeowners mix in a few boulders or a mulch accent bed for planted areas that still need organic matter, since rock and mulch can share a yard without sharing a bed.

In St. George's sandy loam, skip skimping on fabric prep. Lay landscaping fabric with overlapped seams and pin it every couple feet, because loose seams let sand migrate up between the rocks over a few monsoon seasons, and then you are pulling rock to fix it. A properly pinned fabric layer is what actually makes this a decade-plus install instead of a five-year one.
The biggest mistake here is putting rock right up against stucco or foundation without a gap, because reflected heat off rock in our summers can bake siding and even stress nearby plant roots. Leave a few inches of clearance and consider a slightly larger stone size right along foundations, it drains better and holds up against reflected heat and occasional flash runoff.
Order a little more than your calculated yardage, an extra half yard or so, and keep it in a bucket or bin. Rock does not compost or break down, so a small reserve pile lets you patch spots after utility digs or downspout repairs years later without ordering a whole new delivery for a small fix.
Sandy loam drains fast here, which is exactly why so many St. George homeowners give up on turf and go with rock beds instead. With summer heat pushing soil temps way up and rainfall scarce outside the monsoon bursts, decorative rock over fabric holds its place without washing out or breaking down. It does not feed the sandy loam underneath, so keep it away from anything that wants organic matter, but for foundation borders and low-maintenance front yards it just sits there and works for years. Around Snow Canyon, plenty of homes lean into this look on purpose, matching the rock to the red and tan tones of the landscape.
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.
