How Much Mulch Will I Need
Mulch is available by the bag or in bulk. Bulk mulch is measured in cubic yards. You can calculate the volume of mulch you need by multiplying the area (in square feet) by the depth (fraction of foot, not inches), then dividing by 27. The following table will guide you:

My local Lowe’s said the 2024 sale begins March 28.
Hi there friend, Is the price for your area $2 a bag? Our regional ad states it is 3 bags for $12. Thanks for your comment
Hi Jen,
Is there any news of red mulch being on sale (5 for $10) this December?
Thank you kindly.
Hi Dennis,
Great question, based on the sales from years past, I have not seen mulch typically go on sale during the month of December. Seasonally, it is not in high demand. The next big sale, will be in the spring of 2024.
Is there a sale on the mulch in November? Thank you kindly.
Hi Elena,
Based off of the years prior, I have not seen a sale in November on Mulch. We have seen little sales, but nothing near the $2 per bag sale.
This article is dated July 13 2023 but neither store has them on sale. I looked online and called to verify
Hi Tiffany,
I update this post weekly. If you scroll down you will see the current prices and when the last $2 sale was. I can’t change the title of this post each week or google will pull it all together from their search option.
Big nope from Houston. Regular prices on mulch. Just checked both HD and Lowes.
Thank you for letting us all know.
Went to the Home depot asked about the sale and was informed that there is no sale going on! Bad info from you
Hi Mike,
I did state, and maybe you missed that part. Participating stores only and there is a noted link that states also to check if your store is participating. The nationwide event doesn’t occur until before memorial day. Hopes that helps.
Not on sale in Raleigh as TJ Gee says. Some sites indicate it won’t go on sale until after Easter.
Hey Bob!!! Thank you for letting us know. My store currently still has it on sale. I live in Upstate NY. And also correct, both stores offer an early spring sale on mulch. I believe I noted that in my post as well. But for some reason, my store is offering a great deal now. Not typical.
No deal in Horseheads, Upstate, NY.
Thank you, Joy!
Not on sale in Raleigh, NC
Hey TJ,
Thank you for letting us know.
Like the other, I’m not seeing the sales prices, on-line or in store, Home Depot or Lowes, like you’re quoting in the article.
I am wondering if it is zip code specific. When I click the link it takes me to my store which shows the sale price at $2, but it also lists it as clearance. They don’t typically offer a national sale until the few weeks leading up to memorial day. I am sorry you are not seeing the same deal like myself.
Why did this pop up in February 2022? NO $2.00 SALE GOING ON.
“BY: JEN @ INSPIRING SAVINGS / UPDATED ON: FEBRUARY 17, 2022”
As per their website, they are offering a clearance sale. You can price match their online sale in store.
No $2 mulch this Labor Day. Disappointed!
Why will Buckhannon WV Lowe’s not honor labor day sale
Mulch 5 for 10?
Sorry, the Lowes memorial day sale is $2.88 a bag this year. The bags are 2 cubic ft vs home depots and 1,5 cubic ft. If you do the math, you are paying $1.33 per cb ft no matter which store you go to.
My local home Depot (Hyannis), only had the Scotts in stock this time around, not the vigoro. I noticed the Scotts this year was only 1.5 cubic feet while the vigoro is still 2 cubic foot bags. Could have sworn the Scotts was also 2 cubic feet in the past.
Did the math and it’s about the same price to get delivered mulch from a local supplier than buy the Scotts. Held off on this sale and am hoping Hyannis will carry vigoro next go around.
Hey Rick!!! I was also disappointed as well. We have a few more sales coming up and hopefully, they will include the Virgo!
I jusr returned from the Shrewsbury Home Depot store and was told that the mulch was not on sale at thid time. Can you tell me when it will be on sale at the Shrewsbury store.
