At a 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard of landscape rock covers roughly 162 square feet at the thinner end of that range. Measure your bed square footage first, then divide by 162 to get a baseline cubic yard number before adjusting for depth. Most Vancouver front yards run 100 to 300 square feet per bed, so many projects land between 1 and 2 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, so budget for it if your beds do not already have it down. Steel or aluminum edging keeps rock from migrating into lawns during heavy rain events, which happens often enough here to matter. If any bed borders plants that want real soil nutrition, a strip of bark mulch on that side works better than rock right up against the root zone.
Service area
Vancouver's volcanic loam drains slower than the sandy soils common in most rock installation guides, so lay landscape fabric before you spread anything, even in beds that look dry most of the year. Skipping fabric here means rock sinks into the loam within a season or two and you end up weeding through stone instead of over it. Pin the fabric edges well, our winter windstorms off the Columbia Gorge will lift loose corners.
The biggest mistake we see locally is people installing rock right up against downspout discharge points without a splash block or gravel sump underneath. Vancouver's rainfall volume erodes a crater under the rock fast, and you end up with a low spot that collects standing water in loam that already drains slowly. Add a shallow gravel bed or splash guard first, then bring your decorative rock up to it.
Order slightly more than your calculated minimum in one delivery rather than topping off later, matching rock color and size from a second batch is hit or miss depending on quarry runs. It also means one delivery fee instead of two, and one Saturday spent spreading instead of two seasons of half finished beds around Fort Vancouver area properties.
Vancouver's volcanic loam holds water longer than sandy soils, and with our wet season stretching from November frost through mid March, organic mulches tend to compact and sour in low spots. Rock does not break down, so it stays put through the rain without feeding weeds or turning to sludge near foundations. A lot of homeowners near Fort Vancouver and the older neighborhoods use it specifically around downspouts and drainage swales where bark just floats away. It is also the practical choice for anyone tired of refreshing mulch every year in a climate that barely gives you a dry window to do it.
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.
