Mulch Calculator

Estimate how much mulch is required for a given area at a specified depth.

Mulch Calculator

Based on 3" of Depth

Mulch Yardages:

1 Yard = 27 cubic feet (3′ x 3′ x 3′)
1 Yard = 10′ x 10′ area (100 sq. ft.) approximately 3 inches deep
You can calculate the square footage by multiplying length x width
(i.e. 30′ x 5′ = 150 sq. ft. = 1.5 yds @ 3″ thick)

Top Soil Yardages
1 Yard of Top Soil/Mushroom Soil = 80 sq. ft
(8′ x 10′ area) approximately 4 inches deep
Landscape Stone: 1 scoop = Approximately 1 Ton
1 scoop covers approximately 80 sq. ft. – 4 inches deep

Product Weights:
1 Yard Top Soil = 2,000 lbs (1 ton)
1 Yard Mulch = 800 lbs 1 Yard Garden Compost = 800 lbs
