Landscape Supply Delivery

Before ordering a black dirt or mulch delivery in Rogers, be sure to calculate the amount of material needed for your project. Here are some formulas to estimate the volume of mulch material you will need:

Length x width = square feet
Circle area = πr² = 3.14 x radius²


Circle circumference = 2πr = 2 x 3.14 x radius, or π x diameter

Triangle area = 1/2 x base x height



Mulch should be placed/installed at a depth of 4″ to 6″

1 cubic yard covers approximately 108 sq. ft. at 3″ thick.

1 cubic yard covers approximately 81 sq. ft. at 4″ thick.

1 cubic yard covers approximately 54 sq. ft. at 6″ thick.



2/3 cubic yard covers approximately 72 sq. ft. at 3″ thick.

2/3 cubic yard covers approximately 54 sq. ft. at 4″ thick.

2/3 cubic yard covers approximately 36 sq. ft. at 6″ thick.



1/3 cubic yard covers approximately 36 sq. ft. at 3″ thick.

1/3 cubic yard covers approximately 27 sq. ft. at 4″ thick.

1/3 cubic yard covers approximately 18 sq. ft. at 6″ thick.

It is standard industry practice to install mulch at a minimum depth of 4” to 6” on newly established landscapes. When refreshing mulch, be sure to break up the existing layer with a pitch fork to help the decomposition process before applying a new layer. This new layer should be 1” to 3” thick.
