Coverage Calculators for Mulch, Stone & Soil

Proper depth matters. Use the calculators below to determine the correct volume or tonnage for your project before ordering.

Mulch

Mulch is typically installed at a 3-inch depth for proper coverage and weed suppression.

We recommend rounding up to ensure adequate coverage.

Stone & Gravel

Decorative stone is generally installed at 2–3 inches depending on application.

Estimates are based on average material weight. Actual tonnage may vary slightly by product. We recommend rounding up.

Topsoil & Compost

Topsoil and compost are typically installed at 3–6 inches, depending on the project.

We recommend rounding up to ensure adequate coverage.

Why Coverage Matters

Ordering the correct amount of material ensures proper installation, healthy plant growth, and long-term performance. Underestimating depth can lead to poor weed suppression, thin coverage, and additional trips.
