if you want to figure out how much mulch you need, take the length x the width x .25 (which equals 3") then divide that by 27......so lets say your length is 10' x your width 15' = 150 sq ft x .25=37.5 / 27=1.4 yards

That's what I thought...
For some reason I've been dividing 1227 by 27 (which is 48 yards). And was like...there's no way in hell she needs 48 yards! With that said, I'm wondering should I buy bulk @ $34/yard...or just go to home depot and buy bags @ $2.25 a bag (each bag covers 2 cu ft)

Here is the formula I use, it's simple: Square footage X depth / 324 = how many yards to use.
So; 1227 x 2in thick divided by 324 = 7.57 yards 1227 x 3in thick divided by 324 = 11.36 yards a Quote (Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and eats for a lifetime) Last edited by Landscraper1; 03-06-2010 at 08:30 PM.

Just for future reference (not trying to sound like an a$$ or anything) but if you look in the top left corner of the LS home page right next to the logo, you will see a list. If you click on the sixth one down from the top (Helpful Tools) there is a feature that will calculate how much mulch you will need and in how many bags, pick-up truck, or dump truck loads you will need. Not trying to be a smart a$$, a lot of people don't know that it's there.
