Dinosaur asked:


ok for example……Originally I calculated square feet.

when i put down wood mulch at 3 cu ft per bag i used 30 bags to do the job around my house to cover 5 yards. so with that said, how many bags of this rubber mulch will i need?

here’s what what the manufacturers website says…
For landscaping - 1 bag of landscape mulch is recommended at 2″ depth to cover 7 square feet.
For example in my front yard I have a section that is 8 feet wide by 25 feet long.So if I divide this by 324 I get about 1 yard. If i can figure this part out it would make it easy for me to figure the rest out.

I want to make 1 inch of rubber mulch instead of 2 inch since I have wood mulch now that I will keep underneath.
area 1: 7 ft wide x 24 long - front of home
area 2, 3 and 4: 4 ft wide x 50 ft long - sides of home
area 5: 10 ft wide x 60 ft long - back of home by pine trees

so i need to know how many bags of rubber mulch would i need at 1 inch thickness if 1 bag covers 7 square ft at 2 inch thickness. each bag is about 26 lbs also.

Im planning on going into Landscaping. Im 21 years old, I have no experience in landscaping and currently applied to a position I felt intrested in. I like to move around constantly in a job. I want it to be physical, so I though landscaping was a good choice. Is it possible to move up in a lanscaping job? Any advice out there? Thanks!

I want to work outside this summer, but the places i’ve called don’t seem to want to hire a woman. I’m a hard worker and am willing to earn my keep. Any helpful hints on getting a landscaping job?
