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

What is reclaimed wood?

Reclaimed wood / lumber is wood that has already served a purpose and can serve a purpose once again.

What we do here at Deadwood Reclaimed Materials, is carefully take down existing structures and save the wood. By doing this, we are doing our part in saving the earth and staying green.

Some of the wood we save comes from old structures such as barns, houses and warehouses. 

There are so many ways you can use reclaimed wood. We wrote this article, How to use reclaimed wood around the house, if you are looking for ideas.

When is the best time to lay mulch for the summer?

To prepare your yard for summer, it is best to lay your mulch mid to late spring. One reason for this timing is to get your mulch down before plants and grass start to grow. Mulching too early will prevent the ground from warming properly.

TIP: If the soil is dry prior to mulching, water it and pulling weeds will become an easier task.

Bottom line is, spring is coming and we at Deadwood Reclaimed Materials are here to provide mulch for your landscaping needs.
