How much bark or leaf mulch do I need? Mulch is sold in full and half cubic yards. 1 Cubic Yard is 27 cubic feet, and covers an area of 81 sq ft. to a depth of four inches. You will typically want two inches to refresh existing mulch, four inches for new mulch. You must calculate each area you wish to cover individually. If you like to do things by hand, or you have beds with more complicated shapes, you can learn more here. Or give us the measurements and we'll figure it out for you.
