Calculating Mulch Needs
To determine how much mulch you’ll need, multiply the length and width of your garden space (in feet) by the mulch height to get total cubic feet.
Adding mulch to a height of two to three inches is recommended by gardening professionals so a 5' x 16' garden space which is 80 feet in area with mulch spread 3" deep will need 20 cubic feet of mulch.
Our mulch bags have 2 cubic feet each so you would need 10 bags to cover a 5' x 16' area.
You can use the cubic feet calculator below to find how many cubic feet of mulch you'll need for your home.
