SQUARE FOOTAGE<br />
<strong>HOW</strong> <strong>MUCH</strong> <strong>MULCH</strong> <strong>DO</strong> I <strong>NEED</strong><br />
How to read this table:<br />
1.) Figure the length of the area to cover.<br />
2.) Figure the width of the area to cover.<br />
3.) Multiply length by width to calculate square footage.<br />
4.) Locate the square footage in the first column of the chart below.<br />
5.) Locate the number of inches you want to fill (depth) across the top row of the chart.<br />
(We recommend 2-4 inches for mulching; 12 inches for Kids Karpet Soft Playground Surfaces)<br />
6.) The number in the column represents the number of cubic yards required.<br />

Example: Area of 50 sq. ft. at 2 in. depth = ¼ cu. Yd.<br />
(27 cubic feet = 1 cubic yard)
