How much mulch do I need?
- First you need to figure out your square footage. Multiply average length x average width. (Ex. 8’x30′ = 240 Sq. Ft.)
- Take the square footage and divide by 5. (One bushel covers 5 square feet at a 2? depth.) This number is the amount of bushels needed. (Ex. 240 / 5 = 48 bushels)
- Divide this number by 15. (Our scoop equals 15 bushels.) (Ex. 48 / 15 – 3.2 scoops)
- 3.2 is the number of scoops required. In most cases, you should round up to the next scoop. In this case you should order 4 scoops. That way you will have enough if you mulch more than 2? in some places.
Our scoop equals 2/3 cubic yard.
1 cubic yard = 22 bushels
1 cubic yard covers a 10′ x 10′ area at 2″ depth
Topsoil
1/2 yard covers 80 Sq. Ft. at a depth of 2″
1 scoop = approximately 1/2 cubic yard
What size pond liner do I need?
Width – Take width plus 2 x’s the depth and add at least one foot for overhang.
Length – Take length plus 2x’s the depth and add at least one foot for overhang.
We do not recommend seams!
Stone
Cubic Yards x 1.66 = Tons of stone needed
To figure cubic yards – multiply length x width x depth in feet. This gives you cubic feet. Then divide by 27 to get cubic yards.
