Quick Guide - How Much Soil Do I Need?
The easiest way to work it out is to measure the length and width of your area, then decide how deep the soil or mulch needs to be.
Typical depths
-
New lawns / turf prep: 100–150mm
-
Planting beds: 200–300mm
-
Raised beds: around 300mm
-
Mulch / bark: 50–75mm
Quick guide
1 bulk bag (approx. 1m³) covers:
-
20m² at 50mm depth
-
10m² at 100mm depth
-
6–7m² at 150mm depth
We usually recommend ordering around 10% extra to allow for settling and levelling.
