Mulch Calculator

Mulch keeps roots cool, slows weeds and locks in moisture — but only at the right depth. Enter your bed area and target depth to see how many cubic yards (for bulk delivery) or 2 cu ft bags (for store pickup) you need.

How it works

Formula

Cubic Feet = Area × (Depth ÷ 12) • Cubic Yards = Cu Ft ÷ 27 • Bags = ceil(Cu Ft ÷ 2)

Worked example

A 100 ft² bed at 3 in deep = 25 ft³ → 0.93 yd³, or 13 bags of 2 cu ft mulch.
