Comment calculer le volume de Paillis

La plupart des fournisseurs vendent le paillis à la verge cube. Pour convertir la surface en verges cubes, utilisez cette formule :

Volume (cu yd) = (Length × Width × Depth) ÷ 27

Notre calculatrice multiplie également le résultat par 0.35 tonnes/vg³ (densité standard) pour estimer le poids.

Conseils de pros

1

Do not pile mulch against tree trunks — this creates "mulch volcanoes" that rot the bark and invite disease.

2

Cedar and cypress mulch naturally repel insects. Pine bark breaks down faster and adds acidity to soil.

3

Mulch suppresses weed seeds but not established weeds. Remove existing weeds before applying.

Foire aux questions

How many bags of mulch equal one cubic yard?
A standard 2 cubic foot bag of mulch: you need 13.5 bags to make 1 cubic yard. For 3 cubic foot bags, you need 9 bags per yard. Our calculator shows both bag sizes in the results.
How thick should I spread mulch?
A depth of 2 to 3 inches is ideal for most landscape beds. This depth suppresses weeds, retains soil moisture, and regulates soil temperature without suffocating plant roots.
How often should mulch be replaced?
Wood mulch typically breaks down over 1 to 2 seasons. You can either completely replace it or "fluff" the existing layer with a rake and add 1 to 2 inches of fresh mulch on top annually.
How much does mulch weigh per cubic yard?
Wood mulch is the lightest landscaping material. One cubic yard of shredded wood mulch weighs approximately 400–700 lbs (0.2–0.35 tons) when dry, making it easy to haul in a standard pickup truck.
