MULCH CALCULATOR

*Mulch should be applied to a 3 inch depth.

* The conversion factor from cubic yards to tons varies depending on the type of material you are using.

  1. Measure the length, width, and depth (feet) of the area that you plan to cover. â€‹

  2. Multiply the length, width, and depth together.​

  3. Divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards.

Materials such as screened topsoil and mulch do not have a good conversion factor, since they retain water weight so well. Here are approximations of weight: topsoil-1,500 lb, mulch-950 lb, stone products-2,000 lb, sand-2,500 lb.
