At a 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard covers roughly 162 square feet at the shallow end of that range. Measure your bed square footage first, then divide by 162 for a 2 inch depth, or expect coverage closer to 110 square feet if you want the fuller 3 inch look. Most Wausau front beds run 1 to 3 cubic yards depending on how much of the yard you are converting off grass.

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.

A yard is approximately 27 cubic feet. As a general guideline, one yard of material can cover an area of about 10 feet by 10 feet at a few inches deep.

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!

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Landscape fabric underneath is what makes this a one time install instead of a chore you repeat every spring, so budget for it if you don't already have it down. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the rock from migrating into the lawn once frost heave starts working on the bed lines. A few bags of soil conditioner near any planted areas within the rock bed helps offset the fact that rock traps leaves and returns nothing to the soil.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down, overlapping seams by at least 6 inches, and pin it every couple feet. In Wausau's freeze thaw cycle, loose fabric edges work their way up through the stone over a season or two, and once that happens you're pulling rock off to fix it. Do this step right the first time since this material is meant to sit for a decade or more without a redo.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake we see locally is skipping edging around rock beds near lawn. Frost heave and mower pressure both push loose rock into the grass over time, and once it's mixed into turf it's nearly impossible to get back out. A simple steel edge restrains the bed and saves you from chasing stray rock every spring when the snow melts off.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock and mulch pair well on the same property even though they don't mix in the same bed. Use rock along foundations and downspout aprons where drainage and permanence matter, and save mulch for planting beds where you want organic matter breaking down into Wausau's sandy loam. Ordering both in the same delivery is common and saves a second trip.

Decorative Stone in Wausau

Wausau's sandy loam drains fast, which is good for rock beds since water never pools under the stone and pushes it out of place. With frost pushing down into the ground from October into May, a properly bedded rock installation stays stable instead of heaving the way loose gravel over clay might elsewhere. Around Rib Mountain and the older neighborhoods near downtown, rock reads well against the region's stone and timber home exteriors. It is a common choice for downspout aprons and slopes where mulch would just wash out in spring melt.

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 stay in place through Wausau winters?

Yes, once it's installed over fabric and contained with edging, rock holds up well through freeze thaw cycles. The stone itself doesn't degrade from cold, and a properly bedded install resists the frost heave that can shift looser materials. Edging is the key detail, since without it the freeze thaw movement in our sandy loam can slowly push rock toward the lawn line over a few seasons.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a 200 square foot bed?

At a 2 inch depth, 200 square feet needs a bit more than one cubic yard, since one yard covers about 162 square feet at that depth. Rounding up to 2 cubic yards gives you room for a slightly deeper 3 inch layer or covers any waste around edges and curves in the bed.

Answer

What's the best time of year to install rock in Wausau?

Late spring after the last frost around May 15 through early fall before ground starts hardening in October is the workable window. Installing in dry conditions makes fabric placement and leveling easier, and you avoid working around frozen or waterlogged sandy loam. Since rock is a one time install, timing matters less than getting the base prep right.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck place the rock?

The load gets dropped at your driveway or another accessible spot you specify when you schedule at checkout. Make sure there's clear room for a full size delivery truck to reach that spot, especially if you're on a narrower Wausau street or a sloped driveway near Rib Mountain area properties.

Answer

Should I choose rock or mulch for my front bed?

Rock makes sense for foundations, downspout aprons, and low maintenance beds where you want a permanent look without yearly upkeep. Mulch suits planting beds where you want organic matter feeding the sandy loam underneath. Many Wausau properties use both, rock near the house and mulch farther out where plants benefit from the breakdown.
