Planning a new mulch bed or refreshing existing beds? Use our Mulch Calculator to estimate how much mulch you’ll need based on your area size and desired depth.
Simply enter your width, length, and depth, and calculate the amount of mulch needed for your project.
Three inches is usually the best depth for new mulching. If you’re just freshening up existing mulch that still looks good, as little as one inch may be enough.

Mulch weighs 500 pounds per cubic yard. Topsoil weighs 1,600 pounds per cubic yard. A full-size pickup truck can carry approximately 2 yards of mulch or 1 yard of topsoil.
