Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate how much mulch I will need?

What is the difference between a cubic yard and a scoop?

How do I calculate how much mulch I will need?

We sell mulch by the cubic yard. Generally, 1 cubic yard covers approximately 150 square feet at 2 inches deep. 


For a more precise estimate, take the length in feet that you want covered X's width in feet X's the depth you want the mulch to be in inches (typically 3 inches). Divide this number by 324 and that is number of cubic yards needed.

Please round up or down to the nearest full cubic yard.  We do not sell by the half yard.
