How much mulch do you need...how to figure it out...

Typically, you will need 3-4 inches of mulch to cover your space. The reason for this is because the first rain will wash some of the mulch away.

Although we do have a mulch calculator to the right of this blog, I will give you the formula to figure it out.

Measure your space in feet.
Take the total and divide it by 3. (This gives you the square yard total)

Take 3 or 4 inches of mulch and divide it by 36.
Take the total and multiply it by the square yardage total.


This will give you the total cubic yards.
We sell our mulch by the cubic yard and sell in half yard increments.

Here is an example using 183 feet of coverage:

• 183 divided by 3 = 61
• 3 divided by 36 =.08333
• .08333 x 61 = 5.083

5 cubic yards of mulch

Summertime yard tips

There are a few tips that can help your yard look beautiful this summer and we are going to share a few of our favorites with you right here!

First, always remember to stay hydrated when you are spending time outside in the heat. Carry a water bottle with you and take sips frequently.

Yard tips:

Water your grass in the morning, before 10am. This allows the grass time to dry off and will decrease the chance of mold and disease.

Do not over water. 1/2 inch of water two times a week is ideal.

Keep weeds at bay. Moving and weed eating helps as well as weed dissolving chemicals.

Use a sharp lawn mower blade. And cut your grass at a higher setting. Most grasses thrive better at a higher level.

It is springtime and time for mulch! Ever wonder why you should lay mulch? Let me explain...

By laying mulch, you allow the soil to stay moist. It also improves the overall health / fertility of the soil. Mulch decreases the growth of weeds and makes the landscape look more appealing.

Mulch will also improve the temperature of the soil. It keeps the soil cool in summer and warm in the winter.
