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!

At a 2 inch install depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a typical 300 square foot front bed runs close to 2 cubic yards. Go to 3 inches deep for areas that see foot traffic or heavier rain runoff and you'll use closer to 3 cubic yards for that same footprint. Since this is a one time install rather than something you're topping off every season, it's worth ordering slightly generous rather than running short mid project.

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!

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Landscape fabric underneath is what actually makes this a decade long install rather than something that sinks into the clay within a couple seasons. Edging material along the bed line keeps rock from migrating into the lawn during mowing, and a few larger accent boulders placed before the rock goes down give the bed some structure instead of a flat gray field.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Because Youngstown's clay soil doesn't drain fast, skip laying rock directly against foundation grade without a slight slope away from the house. Even with fabric underneath, water will sit on top of compacted clay and find its way back toward your basement wall. Grade the bed an inch or two away from the foundation before laying fabric, then rock. It's a small step during install that prevents a much bigger problem two winters from now.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake we see with rock beds here is skipping fabric to save a step, then dealing with rock sinking into the clay within a year as it works its way down through freeze thaw cycles. Lay heavy landscape fabric first, overlap seams by several inches, and pin it down before any rock goes on top. This is what actually gets you the decade long, no maintenance bed people expect from this material.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you're covering a large front yard bed, mixing rock with a few strategically placed boulders reduces how many cubic yards you need while still filling the space visually. Boulders take up volume that would otherwise be rock, and they break up what can otherwise look like a flat gray expanse. It's a practical way to stretch an order without the bed looking sparse or unfinished.

Decorative Stone in Youngstown

Youngstown sits on heavy clay that drains slowly, so water tends to pool along foundations and low spots after spring rain. Rock over fabric sheds that water instead of holding it against your siding, which is why it shows up so often around downspouts and foundation beds here. It also shrugs off the freeze thaw cycles common at 923 feet elevation, since it won't heave or wash out the way loose bark can. Once it's down it stays down, no annual refresh needed like a bark mulch bed would require.

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 my clay soil without drainage problems?

Yes, as long as you grade the bed slightly away from your foundation and use fabric underneath. The rock itself sheds water rather than absorbing it, which actually helps in Youngstown's clay since the rock layer keeps water from pooling directly against your home the way a saturated mulch bed can.

Answer

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

At 2 inches deep, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 200 square foot bed needs a bit over 1 cubic yard. Round up to about 1.5 cubic yards to avoid running short, especially if your bed has curves or uneven edges that eat into coverage.

Answer

What time of year should I install landscape rock in Youngstown?

Anytime the ground isn't frozen works, but late spring after the last frost around May 10 or early fall before October gives you dry, workable soil for laying fabric properly. Avoid installing right after heavy rain since Youngstown's clay stays soft and muddy longer than sandier soils would.

Answer

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

We place the load wherever your driveway or curb allows truck access, and you'll direct the driver to the exact spot on delivery day. Moving it from the drop point to the actual bed is on you, so if your project is far from the driveway, plan for wheelbarrow trips or ask about placement options at checkout.

Answer

Is landscape rock or mulch better for my front bed?

It depends on what's planted there. Rock is a one time install that lasts a decade or more and works well for foundation lines or low-maintenance beds, but it doesn't feed the soil like mulch does, so it's a poor fit around plants that need organic matter breaking down into the clay each year.
