How much mulch do you need?

Estimate cubic yards, full ¾-yard Brady's scoops, or bags in a few quick steps.

Your project

Measure. Choose a depth. Get the total.

Enter one rectangular area in feet. For an irregular bed, calculate smaller rectangles separately and add their cubic-yard totals.

Choose a useful depth

Start with what is already in the bed.

1–2 inches

Use for a light refresh where an established mulch layer is already doing its job.

2–3 inches

A common total depth for moisture retention, soil-temperature moderation and weed suppression.

Keep trunks clear

Leave the root flare visible. Do not pile mulch against tree trunks, stems or plant crowns.

Measure in sections

Break a curved or irregular bed into rectangles, calculate each one, then add the cubic yards together.
