How much mulch to buy for landscaping:
-
Measure your area to be covered and calculate the
square footage.
(Width, in feet, multiplied by
length, in feet = Total Square Footage)
-
Decide on the depth of mulch that you wish to
spread. Two inches will give your beds a clean,
dressed appearance while conserving moisture. Four
inches will keep your gardens looking tidy longer and
help to suppress weed growth.
