Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

The best equipment for moving large rocks from your yard depends on their size and weight. A heavy-duty wheelbarrow or a rock dolly can be effective for smaller boulders. A skid-steer loader or a mini-excavator with a grapple attachment provides the necessary power and control for larger, heavier rocks that you can’t lift manually. Professionals may use a larger excavator and ratchet hoist to remove larger boulders.

While they’re popular and have a lot of pros, the cons of river rocks include the following:

  • River rocks don’t break down or provide nutrients to plants. 

  • These stones can get hot and scorch nearby plants. 

  • River stones may heat the surrounding soil to inhospitable temperatures. 

  • Rocks can block rainwater from seeping into the ground if installations are too thick or tightly packed.

Most downsides occur when using river rock as mulch in gardens and flower beds. However, you can still incorporate river rocks into your landscape as long as you use them in the correct ways.

Rubber mulch costs an average of $90 per yard to replace, or $4 per foot. Costs vary based on the quality of the rubber mulch, manufacturer prices, and the cost of delivery and installation labor to lay it down. Consult a local mulch professional for a price quote on your specific installation project.

There are a few ways you can reduce the cost of mulch delivery, including the following:

  • Place your order in the winter months for spring delivery

  • Choose a more affordable mulch color

  • Opt for a more affordable type of mulch

  • Place larger orders to get a lower cost per cubic foot

  • Opt to lay your own mulch to save on installation costs

  • Add on other delivery or landscaping services to save on travel costs

  • Prepare a single delivery site in the front of your property, and use a wheelbarrow to move smaller quantities 

Since the nature of the landscaping project can heavily influence the overall cost, it helps to understand what different types of landscaping projects cost on average. For example:

  • Plant a tree: $100–$2,000

  • Build a retaining wall: $3,250–$9,200

  • Reseed a lawn: $450–$1,700

  • Install a water fountain: $950–$4,800

  • Install a paver patio: $2,400–$7,000

  • Install a concrete walkway: $1,200–$2,400

  • Install a flower bed: $800–$3,000

  • Landscape lighting: $2,000–$6,000
