Mulch volume formula

Cubic feet = length × width × (depth ÷ 12). Cubic yards = cubic feet ÷ 27.

Planning notes

Measure the bed at its widest practical dimensions and choose the finished mulch depth. For irregular beds, split the area into smaller rectangles and calculate each section separately.

  • 2–3 inches is common for landscape mulch.
  • Round bag quantities up to whole bags.
