1000 sq ft: mulch by depth
| Depth | Cu ft | Cu yd | 2 cu ft bags |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1″ | 83.3 | 3.09 | 42 |
| 2″ | 166.7 | 6.17 | 84 |
| 3″ | 250.0 | 9.26 | 125 |
| 4″ | 333.3 | 12.35 | 167 |
Worked example
1000 sq ft × 3 in ÷ 12 = 250.0 cu ft = 9.26 cubic yards. In 2 cu ft bags that is 125 bags; in 3 cu ft bags, 84. Bulk delivery by the yard is usually cheaper at this volume; compare local prices.
