Mulch Calculator

Estimate rectangular material volume, ordering allowance, mass and bag count from your supplied yield.

How It Works

Net volume=length×width×depth, with depth converted from cm or inches. Ordered volume=net volume×(1+allowance/100).

Mass=ordered volume×entered bulk density. Bags=ceiling(ordered volume/bag yield). Bag yield and density vary by product; use supplier specifications.

Scope and Limitations

  • Quantity estimate only. Does not specify a concrete mix, structural design, compaction requirement or load capacity.
