How many yards of mulch do you need for 485 square feet?

Answer 1

To determine how many yards of mulch you need for 485 square feet, you first need to decide on the depth of the mulch layer. A common depth for mulch is 3 inches. There are 27 cubic feet in one cubic yard, so for 3 inches (or 0.25 feet), you would calculate: 485 sq ft x 0.25 ft = 121.25 cubic feet. Dividing that by 27 gives you approximately 4.49 cubic yards, so you would need about 4.5 yards of mulch.
