Mulch Calculator
Perfect your landscaping. Calculate the precise cubic yards or bags of mulch required to attain proper soil depth.
Area Dimensions
Enter your bed dimensions to perfectly estimate the material volume required, ensuring you don't overspend on delivery.
Bulk Delivery vs. Bagged Mulch
Purchasing individual bags of mulch from big box stores is heavily marked up. If your project spans multiple garden beds, a mulch calculator reveals the threshold where a truckload delivery of bulk cubic yards becomes exponentially more affordable.
Volume Optimization
Depth plays a deceiving role in cost. Increasing mulch thickness from 2 inches to 3 inches increases the required cubic yards by an entire 50%. Our landscape utility formula locks in your exact volume constraints so you don't unintentionally order a surplus of organic matter.
