Mulch and Soil Calculator by Online Tool Base
Landscape Like a Pro. The Mulch & Soil Calculator at Online Tool Base helps gardeners and landscapers determine exactly how much bulk material they need for flower beds and gardens. Guessing by the bag often leads to multiple trips to the hardware store or a driveway full of unused dirt.
Volume Intelligence
Mulch and soil are sold by volume (cubic feet for bags, cubic yards for bulk delivery). onlinetoolbase.online does the math to convert your 2D area into 3D volume:
- Depth Matters: A decorative top-dress needs only 2 inches, while a new weed-suppressing layer needs 4 inches.
- Bulk Savings: See if you need enough to justify a truck delivery vs. buying bags.
- Unit Conversion: Instantly switch between bags (2 cu ft) and bulk yards.
Gardening Success
Proper mulching retains moisture, regulates soil temperature, and suppresses weeds. Ensuring you have the correct depth is critical for these biological benefits. Too thin, and weeds break through; too thick, and you can suffocate plant roots.
How to Use
- Measure the Length and Width of your garden beds.
- Decide on the Depth of the layer (standard is 3").
- Calculate to see total Cubic Yards and Bag count.
