Mulch Calculations
Don't be left wondering how much is too "mulch"!
1 / Measure Your Area
Measure the length and width of the mulching area.
-
Too large for a tape measure: lay twine along each side, trim to fit, and measure the twine, or pace off the length and width, estimating one step as about 3 feet.
-
Irregular shapes: divide the area into squares or rectangles, measure each, and add the volumes together.
-
Circular areas: measure as if it’s a square that fits around the circle—extra mulch is better than not enough.
*ADD 2-5% for uneven ground to ensure you have enough mulch for your project(s)
2 / Determine Depth
Consider the mulch depth: 2 inches for decoration, 4 inches for moisture retention or weed control, or 3 inches as a middle ground. Keep units consistent—convert inches to feet if needed.
​
-
2 inches = 0.17 feet
-
3 inches = 0.25 feet
-
4 inches = 0.33 feet.
3 / Calculate
To determine the volume of mulch needed, multiply the three measures together​​
-
Length × Width × Depth = Volume in Feet
Then, convert to yards
-
Volume in Feet / 27 = Cubic Yards
