Mulch
The proper mulching of your flower, shrubbery, and tress landscape bedding will not only give your property a crisp, clean, and manicured look, but it will also drastically reduce the amount of time spent weeding, watering and fighting pests. Mulching also helps with erosion control as well as it keeps dirt from splashing up on your flowers, home, and hardscape features when it rains. We can help you decide which type of mulch would be best for your needs, and we can calculate for you the amount of mulch your landscape needs. Best of all, we will install the mulch exactly were and as it is needed. To determine the number of cubic yards to order: STEP 1: Calculate the number of square feet to cover. STEP 2: Find the number in the table below that corresponds to the desired depth of coverage. STEP 3: Divide the total number of square feet by that number to arrive at the number of cubic yards (cy).

Area Calculations: Draw your site as accurately as possible - graph paper works well. For odd or complex shapes, divide the area into combinations of rectangles, triangles, and/or circles. Use the following formulas to determine area:
Rectangle: Area = length x width
Circle: Area = 3.1416 x the square of the radius
Triangle: Area = 1/2 x length of base x length of height
One cubic yard will cover a 324 square-foot area with one inch of mulch.
