Our Mulch Calculator supports input in feet, inches, meters, and centimeters, and provides output in cubic yards, feet, meters, and mulch bags.

Can I calculate mulch for irregular shapes?

Yes! Break the area into smaller rectangular or circular sections, calculate each, and then add the totals.

Most mulch bags contain 2 cubic feet. The calculator tells you how many bags you’ll need based on that standard size.
