*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.
-
Measure the length, width, and depth (feet) of the area that you plan to cover. ​
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.
