Placing an order online was so easy. Delivery was on time. When the driver realized we had a newly poured driveway they erred on the side of caution and opted not ti drive in it. The company even sent me a message explaining that call. Would recommend!

At the standard 2 inch install depth, one cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet, so a 300 square foot bed runs close to 2 cubic yards. Going to 3 inches instead of 2 for heavier foot traffic or drainage areas will cut your coverage down by about a third, so plan accordingly. Measure length by width for each bed, add them together, then divide by 162 to get a rough cubic yard count.

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.
Landscape fabric underneath is what makes this a one time install instead of an annual chore, so lay it before the rock goes down. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the stone from migrating into the lawn, especially useful where Wichita's clay soil shifts with the seasons. Some customers pair a rock border with mulch in planting beds nearby, using rock for the no-plant zones and mulch where things are actually growing.

Lay landscape fabric before spreading rock, not after, and overlap seams by at least 6 inches since Wichita's wind will find any gap and start working leaves and seeds underneath. Skipping fabric means weeds root directly in the clay beneath the rock within a season or two, and at that point you're pulling rock out to fix it, which is a much bigger job than doing it right the first time.
Rock traps leaves instead of breaking them down, so beds near mature trees need a leaf blower pass each fall before the October frost, otherwise decomposing leaf litter builds a thin soil layer on top that lets weed seeds germinate. This is the single most common maintenance mistake with rock beds, people expect it to be zero upkeep when it's actually low upkeep with one seasonal task.
Order slightly more than your calculator suggests if you're using rock along a foundation line with downspouts, since splash zones erode depth faster than flat beds and you'll want reserve material on site rather than a second delivery for a touch up. Keeping a few extra bags or a small reserve pile also handles any settling in the first few months.
Wichita's clay soil sheds water fast when it's compacted, which is exactly why rock earns its keep around downspouts and foundation lines where mulch would wash out or sink into mud. With Kansas wind gusts common across the plains, loose organic mulch migrates into the neighbor's yard while screened rock stays put. Between the October and April frost window, this region gets freeze thaw cycles that heave loose soil, but rock over fabric doesn't shift the way bark does. It's a common choice here for anyone tired of rebuilding beds every year around the Keeper of the Plains area and beyond.
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.
