Q: How much is a yard of bark mulch?
A: One cubic yard is 27 cubic feet.  This translates into a cube that is 3 feet by 3 feet by 3 feet.  One cubic yard of mulch, when spread 3 inches thick will cover approximately 100 square feet (10 feet by 10 feet).

Q: I only need a little material, can I get a bucket full?
A: We sell by the bucket or barrel so come over and fill up!

Q: I have a quote for material and the price is per ton; is a ton the same as a cubic yard?
A: A ton is not the same as a cubic yard.  Materials such as stone, dense grade and often mason sand are frequently sold by the ton, which is a measure of weight.  We sell our materials by the cubic yard, which is a measure of volume (how much space it takes up).  The difference between a cubic yard and a ton of material varies depending upon how heavy the material is but a typical conversion for stone products is 1.35 tons per cubic yard.  So if you have a quote for $10 / ton that would be the same as $13.50 / cubic yard.  It is also important to consider water content when purchasing by the ton - the wetter the material is the heavier it is.
