MULCH CALCULATOR/YARDAGE

McCarty Mulch & Stone loads and sells all of our bulk products by the cubic yard. A cubic yard is a volume measurement with dimensions of 3 ft. x 3 ft. x 3 ft. There are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard.

To get a good estimate of the yardage amount you need, you must first come up with square footage.

Basically length of the area X the width of the area. Length X Width X Depth divided 27 = Cubic Yards

1″= .083
2″=.167
3″=.25
4″=.33
5″=.42
6″=.5

Estimated square feet coverage at a glance:
1 cubic yard will cover approximately 162 square feet at 2″ thickness.
1 cubic yard will cover approximately 108 square feet at 3″ thickness
