Length x Width = Square Footage
Square Footage / 100 = Yards needed (assuming 3 inches deep)
We also have a mulch calculator to help determine the quantity needed.
Use the following formula to determine how many yards of topsoil/compost you need:
Length x Width = Square Footage
Square Footage x Desired Depth (in inches) / 12 = Cubic Feet
Cubic Feet / 27 = Yards needed
One cubic yard = 9 of the 3- cubic- foot-sized bags
One cubic yard = 13.5 of the 2- cubic- foot-sized bags
It’s normal practice to mulch in the spring and again in the fall. The mulch may be raked or turned over to refresh the color and aerate the surface.
