How much material do I need?
To estimate the required cubic yardage required for mulch or compost, measure (in feet) the length and width of the areas to be covered. Multiply the length x width to get your square footage. Add up square footage for all areas and use the following formula:
For a thickness of:
1/2" - divide the square footage by 660 = total yards
1" - divide the square footage by 325 = total yards
2" - divide the square footage by 162 = total yards
3" - divide the square footage by 108 = total yards
4" - divide the square footage by 81 = total yards
5" - divide the square footage by 65 = total yards
6" - divide the square footage by 54 = total yards
