Mulch beds cost
in Seattle.

Calculate mulch by the cubic yard or bag for beds of any size. Start with the published examples below, then use your own supplier quote for a delivered estimate.

Medium fine fir and hemlock bark — $42 per cubic yard

Material price. Supplier pickup rate for full cubic yards. Half-yard pickup pricing differs. Confirm your material specification.

Listed delivered rate is $57 per yard for this bark. Delivery requires 10 total yards, in whole-yard increments; eligible mixed loads can meet that minimum. Distance/access fees may apply; confirm taxes and service area.

Prices are optional. Tax and additional charges are included only when explicitly entered or covered by the saved terms. Placement labor is excluded. Estimates are not supplier quotes.

User-entered supplier prices; delivery and tax require confirmation. No detailed supplier conditions were saved. Confirm delivery and other charges before ordering.

Product

Density and bag values are editable planning assumptions. Confirm the product label or supplier specification.

Reinforcement quantities follow your inputs, not a structural design. Base volume excludes its own waste and compaction. Trench fill does not subtract pipe displacement.

Saving a reference preserves your inputs. Apply individual values only when they match the product you will buy.

  • Density: 0.35 US tons/yd³ — unverified planning assumption; confirm for this product.
  • Bag yield: 2 ft³; bag weight: unspecified lb; confirm the selected bag product.
  • Shrinkage: 0% — entered planning allowance; no product-specific compaction rate verified.

These are product-specific examples, not regional averages. Applying one sets the listed unit rate. Review delivery, minimum-order and density terms before using the totals. Editing the unit rate switches to manual quote mode.

Set an optional weight capacity under Supplier order terms; loads use whichever volume or weight limit is lower. Confirm the payload limit and material density with your supplier. Short-load fees apply to each load below your threshold. Base material and rebar costs are excluded.

Entered delivery fees: $0.00 · Short-load fees: $0.00

Supplier order terms

Amounts are flat dollar charges for this order. Leave unknown charges blank; enter zero only when confirmed. Weight limits use your entered density. Choosing another supplier clears these quote fields and the delivery location.

Your entered unit price, rounding, delivery, and short-load assumptions apply. Saved supplier minimums and brackets are not automatically enforced in manual quote mode.

Additional project costs

Destination and timing identify a delivery you plan to share. They do not establish supplier service eligibility. Combined orders are chosen below after saving sections.

Labor, equipment and other project items

All added item prices are your estimates, not researched local rates. Include applicable taxes in these unit prices. Blank charges remain unknown; enter zero only when confirmed. Save the section to update the project budget.

FROM MEASUREMENTS TO AN ORDER

Plan your mulch beds

What to measure

  1. Split beds into simple shapes and measure only the area being covered.
  2. Exclude paths and spaces kept clear around stems or trunks. Enter the added mulch depth, accounting for any existing layer.

Worked example: 30 ft × 4 ft × 3 in

30 × 4 × (3 ÷ 12) ÷ 27 = 1.1111 yd³ before allowance.

5% waste · 0% shrinkage

Neat volume
1.1111 yd³
Volume with allowances
1.1667 yd³

Illustrative dimensions and allowances. Use your project specification and supplier’s product data. Quantities shown are before supplier rounding.

Included in this quantity

Added mulch volume for the measured bed area.

Measure or price separately

Removal of old material, edging, planting, transport and spreading labor.

Choose the specified product

Check the bag’s labeled volume or the bulk supplier’s product description. Wood mulch, compost and decorative stone are different materials with different density and application requirements.

Before booking the order

Confirm bulk minimums and bundle sizes. Compare full bags using the selected bag volume, and keep delivery and spreading charges separate. Leave space around stems and trunks as the planting guidance requires.
