Use the following formula to determine how many yards of mulch you need:

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.

Along with being aesthetically pleasing, mulch helps to retain moisture while reducing the amount of water your plants and trees need. It can also assist with weed control.

Yes, you are welcome to come to our Hampton location and load mulch, topsoil, or compost in the back of your truck. Gravel and stone would dent and scratch the body of your truck as it is being loaded into the back of your truck, so we recommend having those delivered instead.
