What is the ideal depth for mulch application?
The typical mulch depth should be around 2 inches (5.08 cm). This depth effectively retains soil moisture and suppresses weeds while allowing rainwater to penetrate the soil. Avoid applying mulch too thick as it can prevent water infiltration.
How do I choose the right type of mulch for my project?
Wood chips and bark mulch are most common for general landscaping, lasting 1-2 years. Compost mulch adds nutrients to soil but decomposes faster. Consider your climate, plant types, and maintenance preferences when selecting mulch material.
How much does mulch typically weigh?
Wood mulch typically weighs around 475 kg/m³ (800 lb/cu yd) when dry. Compost mulch is denser at about 600-800 kg/m³. Wet mulch can weigh significantly more, so consider moisture content for transportation planning.
How do I calculate mulch for irregularly shaped areas?
For irregular areas, break them into smaller regular shapes (rectangles, circles, triangles) and calculate each section separately. Then add the areas together. Our calculator supports total area input regardless of shape complexity.
Should I remove old mulch before applying new mulch?
If old mulch is less than 2 inches deep and not matted or diseased, you can add new mulch on top. Remove old mulch if it's too thick, has pest problems, or has formed an impermeable layer that blocks water penetration.
