Mulch Calculator

Mulch is sold by the cubic yard at most garden centers, or in 2-cu-ft bags at hardware stores. This calculator gives you both quantities so you can order the right amount and avoid overpaying for delivery or buying too many bags.

2-Cu Ft Bags:

How to Use This Tool

  1. Measure the length and width of the area you want to mulch.
  2. Enter how thick you want the mulch layer (2-4 inches is standard).
  3. Click Calculate to see cubic yards and number of bags needed.

The Formula

Volume = Length x Width x Depth. Cubic Yards = Cubic Feet / 27. 2-cu-ft bags = Cubic Yards x 54.

Why It Matters

You want to mulch a garden bed 40ft by 8ft at 3 inches deep. You need 8 cubic yards of mulch. Bulk delivery of 8 cubic yards costs ~$350 — much cheaper than bagged mulch ($540 for 108 bags).
