Medium Bark Mulch Coverage Guide
One cubic yard of Medium Bark Mulch provides approximately the following coverage at different installation depths:

| 2 inches | Approx. 162 sq. ft. |
| 3 inches | Approx. 108 sq. ft. |
| 4 inches | Approx. 81 sq. ft. |

For planning purposes, approximately 100 sq. ft. per cubic yard at a 3-inch depth provides a small allowance. A mulch layer of approximately 2–3 inches is commonly recommended for established landscape beds.
Why Choose Medium Bark Mulch for Landscaping?
Medium Bark Mulch provides an attractive natural finish while helping protect the soil beneath it. A properly installed layer reduces direct sunlight reaching the soil surface, helps moderate soil temperatures and can reduce moisture loss through evaporation.
Its medium-sized bark pieces offer a balanced appearance for planting beds, trees and shrubs. When installed at the proper depth, mulch can also help limit weed growth by reducing the sunlight available to emerging weeds.
As natural bark gradually decomposes, it contributes organic matter to the surrounding soil. For best results, spread mulch evenly and avoid piling it directly against tree trunks, shrub stems or building foundations.
