Mulch Calculator

Gravel Calculator

Volume = length × width × depth. 1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet. Tons depend on material density, so the density used is shown in the result.

Estimate only. Density varies by quarry and moisture. For large orders, confirm with your supplier's scale ticket. Delivery, minimum order and labour are usually extra.

Estimate mulch by the cubic yard or by the bag.

Worked example

A bed 10 x 20 ft at 3 inches deep = 1.85 cubic yards.

Bags

One cubic yard is about 13 to 14 bags of 2 cubic foot mulch. Bulk is usually cheaper for large beds.

Depth

Depth is usually 2 to 4 inches for beds.

Estimate only. Confirm with your supplier before ordering.
