How Many Bags of Rubber Mulch Do I Need for My Landscaping Project?
ok for example……Originally I calculated square feet.
when i put down wood mulch at 3 cu ft per bag i used 30 bags to do the job around my house to cover 5 yards. so with that said, how many bags of this rubber mulch will i need?
here’s what what the manufacturers website says…
For landscaping – 1 bag of landscape mulch is recommended at 2" depth to cover 7 square feet.
For example in my front yard I have a section that is 8 feet wide by 25 feet long.So if I divide this by 324 I get about 1 yard. If i can figure this part out it would make it easy for me to figure the rest out.

I want to make 1 inch of rubber mulch instead of 2 inch since I have wood mulch now that I will keep underneath.
area 1: 7 ft wide x 24 long – front of home
area 2, 3 and 4: 4 ft wide x 50 ft long – sides of home
area 5: 10 ft wide x 60 ft long – back of home by pine trees
so i need to know how many bags of rubber mulch would i need at 1 inch thickness if 1 bag covers 7 square ft at 2 inch thickness. each bag is about 26 lbs also.

Confucius say….you confuse me…how many square feet in your yard???? That’s all the info we need to answer this question??? Give us the dimensions of your yard so we can figure it and give you the answer.
If you insist on using the rubber, do yourself a favor.. remove the wood.. and install the rubber as recommended. the tow will not so well together.. the wood will come up into the rubber and you’ll be forever picking it out.
at 2" deep, a cubic foot of anything will cover 6 sq. ft.
I would check with the dealer who carries rubber mulch and see what they recommend.
