FAQ

How many yards of mulch does a typical house need?

Most Massachusetts houses need 2–4 cubic yards — typical foundation beds run 200–400 sq ft, and at a 3-inch depth that works out to 2–4 yards. Corner lots, long borders, and full-perimeter plantings usually land at 5–6 yards, which is also the most common order size we deliver. The formula behind all of it: square feet × depth in inches ÷ 324, rounded up to the next half yard.

Quick sizing

Front foundation beds only 2–3 yards
Front plus side beds 3–4 yards
Corner lot / full perimeter 5–6 yards
One full truckload 10 yards

Measure length × width of each bed, check the total with the material calculator, and order from bulk mulch — one delivery covers the whole house.
