Guide d'achat paillis
This guide helps you turn your mulch calculator result into a cleaner purchase plan. Use it when you want fewer return trips, better waste assumptions, and a more realistic cart.
Step 1: Determine the target depth
For new garden beds, aim for 3 inches of depth to suppress weeds and retain moisture. If you are just topping off an existing bed, 1 to 2 inches is usually sufficient.
Step 2: Compare bags vs. bulk delivery
Bags are convenient and clean but expensive in large quantities. If you need more than 2 or 3 cubic yards, ordering bulk delivery from a local nursery is vastly cheaper.
Step 3: Keep it away from the siding
When spreading, leave a small gap between the mulch and your home's foundation to deter termites and prevent moisture damage to your siding.

Mulch cost planning rule of thumb
Premium cedar or dyed mulch lasts longer and holds its color better, but basic hardwood mulch is often half the price and perfectly functional.
Understanding the Math
Formula: The basic formula for Calculateur paillis typically involves calculating the total area or volume (Longueur × Largeur × Depth) and dividing by the coverage of a single unit or package, then adding a waste factor (usually 10%).
Example: For example, if you have a 10x10 area and your material covers 10 square feet per unit, you need 10 units. With a 10% waste factor, you should purchase 11 units to ensure you don't run short.
