Common questions

How much mulch do I need?

Measure the area in square feet and desired depth (2–4 inches is typical). The calculator converts to cubic yards. One cubic yard covers about 108 sq ft at 3 inches deep.

How deep should mulch be?

2–4 inches is ideal for most applications. Too thin and weeds break through; too thick and it can trap moisture against plant stems. Keep mulch a few inches away from tree trunks.
