How much mulch do I need?

• <div><p>When you purchase mulch for delivery, it’s usually by the cubic yard, so you’ll want to convert your space to cubic yards to get the right amount. First, determine the square footage of the area you want to cover, and then determine how deep the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/preparing-your-landscape-garden-mulch.htm">bed of mulch</a> will be—a good rule of thumb is around three inches. Multiply your square footage in feet by the depth in inches and divide by 324. You may want to add a ½ to one additional cubic yard to ensure you have enough.</p></div>
