Easy to order, great service, and great product. We enjoy the final look of a very neglected beds we inherited!

One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, which is the standard install depth for most residential beds. If you want a deeper 3 inch layer for heavier foot traffic or drainage areas, figure closer to 110 square feet per yard. Measure your bed in square feet first, then divide by the coverage number that matches your target depth.

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.

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.

Landscaping fabric underneath is what makes this a decade long install instead of a yearly chore, don't skip it. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the rock from migrating into the lawn during mowing season, especially useful on the sloped yards common around Terre Haute. A lot of customers also order a bed of mulch for planting beds nearby, since rock and organic mulch serve different zones of the same yard.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscaping fabric before the rock goes down, not after, and overlap seams by at least 6 inches. In Terre Haute's silt loam, skipping fabric means the rock slowly sinks into the soil over a wet spring and you end up topping it off within two or three years. Pin the fabric edges down before spreading rock so it doesn't shift or bunch as you work.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake we see locally is rock installed flush against siding with no gap. Terre Haute's freeze thaw cycle between October and April pushes moisture around, and rock packed tight against the house traps it there. Leave a couple inches of clearance and slope the bed slightly away from the foundation so water sheds outward instead of pooling against the wall.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock costs more upfront than mulch but you're not buying it again next spring, that's the real math. If you're covering a large front yard bed, consider mixing a decorative rock border with mulch in the interior planting zones, it cuts your rock volume down while still giving you that low maintenance edge along walkways and the foundation line.

Decorative Stone in Terre Haute

Terre Haute sits on silt loam that compacts and holds moisture, which is exactly why so many homeowners here fight foundation splashback and soggy mulch beds every spring. Landscape rock over fabric solves both problems at once, it sheds water instead of absorbing it and it won't break down into the soil the way organic mulch does. With a zone 6b freeze thaw cycle running from mid October to mid April, rock also won't heave or shift the way loose bark can after a hard frost. It's a common choice for the low maintenance front yard beds you see around the Swope Art Museum neighborhood and older Terre Haute streets.

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 with Terre Haute's clay heavy soil underneath it?

Yes, as long as you install fabric between the soil and the rock. Terre Haute's silt loam holds moisture and can be slow to drain, so the fabric barrier stops the rock from sinking in and keeps soil from working its way up through the stone over time. Without it, expect the bed to need topping off within a few years.

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're going 3 inches deep for better weed suppression, plan on closer to 2.75 cubic yards for the same area.

Answer

Is fall a good time to install rock in Terre Haute?

Fall works well since the ground is still workable before the first frost around October 16, and you avoid installing over frozen or waterlogged spring soil. Just get fabric and rock down before hard freezes set in, since digging edging into frozen ground gets difficult fast.

Answer

Where will the truck place the rock on delivery day?

You choose the drop location, usually the driveway or curb, when you schedule at checkout. Make sure there's a clear path at least 10 feet wide for the truck to access, and have a plan for moving material to the beds if the drop spot isn't right next to them.

Answer

Should I use rock or mulch around my foundation?

Rock is the better call for foundation beds since it doesn't hold moisture against the siding the way mulch can, and it won't need replacing every year. Mulch is better suited to planting beds where you want organic matter feeding the soil. Many Terre Haute yards use both, rock near the house and mulch further out.
