Mulch is often sold by weight in bags, but a volume is assigned to the material in bags, too. We'll treat this as a volume problem as we have an area to cover (880 square feet), and a depth of coverage assigned (2 inches). We have to find the volume of that 880 square feet by 2 inch volume. First, we need to convert either the area in square feet to square inches, or the depth in inches to feet. The latter makes more sense (and it's easier), so let's do that.

The 2 inches is 2/12ths of a foot, or 1/6th of a foot. We'll go with that. If we have 880 square feet by 1/6th of a foot in depth, we have 880 square feet times 1/6 feet, which is 146 2/3rds cubic feet of mulch, the required amount of mulch to cover the given area to the desired depth.

6 It depends how deep you want it.


How many 4x4 tiles equals one square foot?

A 4x4 tile has an area of 16 square inches (4 inches x 4 inches). Since one square foot equals 144 square inches, you would need 9 of these 4x4 tiles to cover one square foot (144 square inches ÷ 16 square inches per tile = 9 tiles).


How many 12x24 tiles would I need to do a 26 sf area?

To determine how many 12x24 tiles you need for a 26 square foot area, first calculate the area of one tile. A 12x24 tile is 2 square feet (12 inches x 24 inches = 288 square inches; 288 square inches ÷ 144 = 2 square feet). To cover 26 square feet, divide 26 by 2, resulting in 13 tiles. Therefore, you would need 13 tiles to cover the area.


How many 12x12 stepping stones tombuild a 30x30 area?

To cover a 30x30 area, which has an area of 900 square feet, you would need to determine the area of one 12x12 stepping stone, which is 1 square foot (12 inches x 12 inches = 144 square inches, or 1 square foot). Therefore, you would need 900 stepping stones to cover the entire 30x30 area.


How many slabs of stone 40 square inches would I need to cover 133 square feet?

To determine how many slabs of stone you need, first convert the area from square feet to square inches. Since 1 square foot equals 144 square inches, 133 square feet is 133 x 144 = 19,152 square inches. Then, divide the total area by the area of one slab: 19,152 ÷ 40 = 478.8. Therefore, you would need 479 slabs of stone to cover 133 square feet, rounding up to the nearest whole slab.

How much is two yards of bark mulch?

When you say a yard, you are actually saying a cubic yard. If you were to place the much in a 3 foot high by 3 foot wide by 3 foot tall cube, it would exactly fill the cube. How much it covers depends on how deeply you spread it. Since you should spread it at a dept of no less than 4 inches, it should cover about 20 square feet. If you spread it deeper than that, it will of course, cover less area.The 'square feet' of area that it covers is 324/(depth of the mulch, in inches)
