Plan Your Landscaping Project
Getting the right amount of mulch for your garden or landscaping project is crucial. Too little won’t provide adequate coverage, while too much is wasteful and expensive. Our Mulch Calculator helps you determine exactly how much mulch you need based on your area dimensions and desired depth.
Whether you’re working with a small garden bed or a large landscaping project, our calculator provides accurate measurements in both cubic feet and cubic yards, along with estimated costs based on your local mulch prices.
How to Use Our Mulch Calculator
- Choose your preferred calculation method (dimensions or total area).
- Enter your measurements in feet.
- Specify the desired mulch depth (typically 2-4 inches).
- Optionally, enter the price per unit to calculate total cost.
- View your results in both cubic feet and cubic yards.
For best results, measure your area carefully and consider ordering a little extra mulch (about 10%) to account for uneven surfaces and settling. The calculator assumes a flat surface, so adjust accordingly for slopes or irregular areas.
