First, with a tape measure, begin finding the length and width of the landscape bed. Thereafter, multiply these dimensions to calculate the square footage of the garden bed. In case you do not have a tape measure, then try placing one foot in front of the other.

For irregular shapes, divide the garden into smaller sections, measure each section, then add the areas together. Indeed, by taking accurate measures, it will help us plan a lot for your installation project.  Moreover, we can quickly prepare a price and get you on our schedule.

HOW THICK SHOULD IT BE

In an existing landscape bed, a two-inch top-up (5 cm) is typically enough mulch. However, if the garden is severely deficient, then more mulch will be needed. Therefore, every new mulch installation should receive a minimum depth of 3.5 inches.

SHREDDED VS CHUNKY

All shredded mulch is typically similar in size. However, Montane and Acreage mulch are the two exceptions, and need a thicker application. Nevertheless, if a mulch bed has less than a 3.5-inch depth, sadly it will not receive the desired benefits.

On the other hand, and this is non-negotiable, large chunky nuggets require a minimum 5-inch-thick layer.  A thicker nugget depth considers that the mulch bed may become disturbed. As a result, a disturbed mulch bed will leave soil exposed to the open air. But most important, a re-enforced sublayer of paper or geo textile fabric must be used under bark nuggets.
