At Just Mulch<\/a>, we understand how important it is to know how much mulch you need in order to get the best deal on mulch possible.

How to Calculate Mulch in Cubic Yards<\/h2>\n

Before going to the store or ordering mulch online, it is important to determine how much mulch you will need in cubic yards. In order to determine how much mulch you need, you should:<\/p>\n

1. Measure Length and Width<\/h3>\n

Start by measuring the length and width of your garden space in feet and multiplying the two numbers together to determine the square footage of the area. Repeat this step for all of the different sections of your yard that you need to purchase mulch for. Once you are done calculating the square footage of each section, add all of the square footages together to get the total square footage that will need to be covered with mulch.<\/p>\n

2. Determine Depth<\/h3>\n

Next, you will need to determine how deep you want the layer of mulch to be. In most flowerbeds and vegetable gardens, two to three inches tends to be the ideal depth; however, if you need heavy weed or grass suppression, you may want to consider using up to a six-inch layer of mulch.<\/p>\n

3. Calculate the Total Area<\/h3>\n

Once you have the total square footage and depth, you can calculate the total area by multiplying the square footage by the depth you want the mulch to be. Divide the answer by 324, as one cubic yard of mulch will cover 324 square feet, and then round the result to the nearest whole number to find out how many cubic yards of mulch you will need to buy.<\/p>\n
