Learn how to use the Rubber Mulch Calculator and its working principles

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the area of your garden or landscape project in square feet.
  2. Enter the desired depth of rubber mulch in inches.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to get the volume of rubber mulch needed in cubic feet and the estimated weight in pounds.
  4. Use the results to purchase the appropriate amount of rubber mulch.

Working Principle

The calculator uses the formula: Volume (cu ft) = Area (sq ft) × Depth (inches) / 12. It then converts the volume to weight assuming a density of 50 lbs per cubic foot for rubber mulch.

Additional Tips

  • For best results, measure the area accurately and consider any slopes or irregular shapes.
  • It's always a good idea to purchase a little extra mulch to account for waste or unexpected needs.
