I contacted Mulch Mound for #57 river rocks and it was easy and fast to get a delivery right before the holiday weekend. Stone was delivered as promised and place exactly where I asked. Excellent service! I will be ordering mulch next!

At the standard 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard of landscape rock covers roughly 162 square feet at the shallow end of that range. Measure your bed's length and width in feet, multiply for square footage, then divide by 162 to land on cubic yards needed at 2 inches, adjusting down slightly if you go closer to 3 inches deep. Most West Allis front yard beds run somewhere between 2 and 5 cubic yards depending on how much of the lot you're converting from turf.

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 by year two, so budget for it if you have not already got it down. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the stone from migrating into the lawn, especially useful along beds that border mowed turf near the sidewalk. Some customers pair a rock border with mulch in adjacent planting beds where they still want organic matter feeding the soil.
In West Allis's silt loam, water tends to sheet across compacted ground rather than soak in fast, so grade your rock bed with a slight slope away from the foundation before you lay fabric. Skipping this step is the number one reason rock beds pool water after a heavy spring rain. A half inch of fall per foot over a short run is enough, and it is much easier to shape before the stone goes down than after.
Rock beds near mature trees around the older West Allis neighborhoods will collect leaves every fall, and because there is no soil turnover, those leaves sit on top and mat down instead of breaking in. Plan on blowing or raking the bed clear once or twice through October and November, especially before the first frost around October 23, or you will be picking wet leaf mats out of the stone come spring.
Because this is a one time install rather than an annual mulch refresh, it pays to size the order slightly generous rather than exact, since matching stone color and size on a future top-off delivery is harder than getting the depth right the first time. If you are converting several beds, ordering all your yardage in one delivery instead of phasing it room by room usually works out to fewer total trips and less handling.
West Allis sits on silt loam that holds water and can stay soggy through spring thaw and the wet stretch before the May 1 last frost. Rock groundcover over fabric sheds that moisture away from foundations instead of letting it pool the way bark mulch can. It is a common choice around the ranch and bungalow style homes near Wisconsin State Fair Park where owners want a clean, low-upkeep front bed that does not need annual topping off. Just know it will not feed the silt loam underneath, so keep it away from beds where you want plants rooting into improved soil.
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.
