I don't think I want stone.

I figure I have about 600 sq feet to cover so if I put it down at 3 inches deep [is that reasonable] I would need enough product for 150 cu ft. Does this sound right?

There is pine straw down now. My neighbors that have the dark bark do look more sophisticated. I have a concrete designer home. The smallest one they make. I forget the model.

The guy that cuts my grass gave me a price of 225 to 300 to take away the pine straw and replace it with mulch. I'm not sure what he means by mulch.

I believe mulch is a generic term for anything you put atop the soil. Bark, beauty bark, wood chips are specific materials. The wood comes in several shades of brown and various grades. Be very specific as to what you want, don't leave it upto the landscaper.
