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!

One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, or a bit less if you go to 3 inches for heavier foot traffic or drainage areas. Measure the bed's length and width, decide your depth, then order the yardage that gets you there rather than rounding down and coming up short mid-project. Most Wilmington front beds run 2 to 4 cubic yards depending on how much of the yard you're converting from grass or 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.

A ton is approximately 2,000 pounds. Coverage varies by stone type and depth, but as a general guideline, one ton covers roughly 80-100 square feet at 2 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 rock a decade-long install instead of a weed patch by next summer, so it is worth ordering with your stone if you do not already have it down. Edging, whether steel or paver, keeps the rock from migrating into the lawn during mowing season. Some customers layer a border of mulch around plants that need organic matter while keeping rock in the open groundcover zones.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscape fabric before any rock goes down, and overlap seams by at least 6 inches so silt from Wilmington's clay-loam soil doesn't work its way up between panels over a wet spring. Skipping fabric means weeds root directly in the settled stone within a season or two, and once that happens, pulling them out disturbs the whole bed. Fabric is the difference between a one time install and a project you're redoing in three years.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock traps falling leaves instead of absorbing them like mulch does, which matters here given how many mature trees line older Wilmington neighborhoods near downtown. Plan on blowing or raking leaves off rock beds each fall before the first frost around October 20, otherwise decomposing leaf litter builds a thin soil layer on top of your stone and weeds find a foothold in it.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock is a one time material cost with no annual refresh, unlike mulch, so it pays for itself over several seasons even though the upfront yardage costs more. Order slightly more than your calculated minimum, since rock left over is easy to store dry in a bin, while running short mid-project means a second delivery for a small top-off amount.

Decorative Stone in Wilmington

Wilmington's silt loam holds moisture well, which is good for lawns but means bare soil next to a foundation or downspout stays soggy and grows weeds fast. Rock over landscape fabric solves that, especially in spots that never dry out between the spring thaw and the first hard frost around October 20. It is a common choice here for the low, flat front yards typical of the area, where standing water near the house is the main complaint we hear. Unlike mulch, it will not wash out or break down in our zone 6a freeze and thaw cycles.

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 around my foundation with Wilmington's soil?

Yes, rock is actually a strong choice here. Wilmington's silt loam holds moisture, and rock over fabric keeps soil away from your foundation walls better than mulch, which breaks down and holds water against the house. It also won't need replacing every year like organic mulch does.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a typical front bed?

One cubic yard covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth. Most Wilmington front beds run 200 to 500 square feet, so plan on 2 to 4 cubic yards depending on size and whether you go 2 or 3 inches deep in wetter spots.

Answer

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

Aim to finish before Wilmington's first frost around October 20, since installing fabric and rock is easier in dry fall soil than after freeze and thaw cycles start. Spring after the last frost around April 22 also works well, once the ground has dried out from winter melt.

Answer

Can the delivery truck reach my backyard or side yard?

Note any narrow gates, slopes, or tight driveway access at checkout so the load can be placed as close to your work area as possible. Most Wilmington properties allow a straightforward driveway drop, but let us know ahead of time if your access is limited.

Answer

Should I choose rock or mulch for my beds?

Rock is a one time install that lasts a decade or more and suits foundations, downspouts, and low-maintenance beds, but it won't feed your soil or suit plants that want organic matter. Mulch breaks down and needs refreshing yearly but improves soil health, so many Wilmington yards use both in different zones.
