How Do I Figure Out How Much Mulch I Need?

You will need to know your total square foot(length x width = square foot) and the Desired Thickness in inches. This is an approximation, but we have been using these for 13 years and are always spot on.

Chart 1. Thickness in Inches needed = area of coverage
1 inch = 300 sq. ft.
2 inches = 150 sq. ft.
3 inches = 100 sq. ft.

Take your Total Square Foot divided by the square foot of coverage in inches = total yards needs
Example= I have a total area that is 15 foot by 25 foot that I would like at 3 inches thick.
15 times 20 = 375 total sq ft for this one bed.
I then look at the inches of coverage, I see I can get 100 sq. ft. for a depth of 3 inches thick.
So I take 375 divided by 100 = 3.75 yards of mulch.
