About this landscape rock

Smooth tumbled river rock, heavy enough to stay put in drainage runs and handsome enough for beds and borders.

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

Landscape rock is typically installed 2 to 3 inches deep, and one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet at the 2 inch depth. For a standard 200 square foot bed along a foundation or downspout run, plan on a little over one cubic yard to get full coverage without thin spots. Measure the bed width and length first, since rock is heavier to over order than mulch.

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!

Landscape fabric underneath is worth doing right the first time, since pulling rock back up to fix a bare fabric patch later is a real job. Edging keeps the rock from migrating into the lawn, especially useful on the clay loam here where beds tend to settle. Some Warren customers pair rock borders with mulch in the planting beds further from the foundation, using rock only where drainage is the concern.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

In Warren's clay loam, water tends to sit rather than soak in, so grade the bed slightly away from the foundation before laying fabric and rock. A quarter inch of slope per foot is enough to keep water moving instead of pooling under the stone, which over years can work fabric loose and let clay squeeze up through the rock layer.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake with rock beds near GM Tech Center style landscaping is skipping fabric maintenance. Leaves and maple seed pods collect in rock every fall and, left alone, break down into a thin soil layer that lets weeds root right through the stone. A leaf blower pass in late October and again after the Oct 26 frost keeps the bed clean before winter locks everything in place.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Because this is a one time install rather than an annual mulch refresh, it pays to order slightly more than the bare minimum cubic yardage so the depth is consistent edge to edge. A thin spot in year one becomes a bare patch by year three, and topping off a settled rock bed later is more work than getting the depth right up front.

Decorative Stone in Warren

Warren sits on clay loam that drains slowly, which is exactly why rock beats bark in the spots that stay wet after a storm off Lake St Clair. Freeze thaw cycles between the Apr 15 last frost and Oct 26 first frost heave loose material, but a properly laid rock bed with fabric underneath stays put through zone 6b winters. It also holds up better than organic mulch around foundations and downspouts, where homeowners in this city are dealing with runoff more than shade or plant beds. Once it's down, it's down, no spring refresh needed like with mulch.

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 in Warren's clay soil without sinking?

Yes, as long as fabric goes down first. Clay loam holds moisture and without a barrier the rock will slowly work its way into the soil over a few seasons. With fabric properly laid and edged, the rock stays on top and drains well even through wet Michigan springs.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a bed along my foundation?

One cubic yard covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth. Measure your bed's length and width, multiply for square footage, then divide by 162 to get a rough cubic yard estimate. Most foundation runs in Warren homes fall between half a yard and two yards depending on house size.

Answer

When is the best time to install rock before winter hits?

Aim to finish before the Oct 26 first frost so the fabric and rock settle before ground freeze. Installing in frozen or waterlogged clay loam soil is harder to grade properly, so early fall or spring after the Apr 15 last frost are the easiest windows to work in.

Answer

Where will the rock be dropped and do I need to move it myself?

Delivery is scheduled at checkout and the driver places the load at your driveway or curb, whichever is closer to the work area. You'll want to move it from there with a wheelbarrow, so plan your path to the bed and clear it ahead of time.

Answer

Should I use rock or mulch around my downspouts?

Rock is the better call there. Downspout runoff keeps the area consistently wet, and mulch breaks down fast and washes out under that kind of flow. Rock stays put, doesn't feed weeds the way decomposing mulch can, and it's a one time install instead of something you're replacing every year or two.
