Coverage parameters

cm
Volume needed2.00m³
Tonnage2.60t
Bag count40bags (50L)

How it works

  1. 1Volume = 20 × 10/100 = 2.00 m³
  2. 2Tons = volume × Topsoil density 1.3 t/m³ = 2.60 t
  3. 3Bags = volume ÷ 0.05 m³ ≈ 40 (bulk is cheaper)
Bark mulch needs only 5-8cm — thicker invites pests and blocks airflow. Blend 20-30% organic matter into compacted soil. Wet soil weighs far more per volume, so verify tonnage deliveries in dry conditions.
