How Much Mulch? Bulk quantities of mulch are sold in cubic yards. To calculate the amount of mulch you need, first measure the area to be mulched, in square feet. Next convert the desired depth to a fraction of a foot. For example, 3 inches divided by 12 inches equals ¼ foot or 0.25 foot. Multiply this fraction by the square-foot measurement of the area to be covered (.25 foot x 100 square feet = 25 cubic feet). Convert cubic feet to cubic yards by dividing cubic feet by 27 (25/27 = .926). To cover a 100-square-foot area to a depth of 3 inches, you will need .926 cubic yards.
