Get A Grip LLC |
Answer: Four to six hours Explanation: Spreading 4 cubic yards of mulch by hand would take approximately 4-6 hours for one person to complete.
The reasoning is:
~ 1 cubic yard of mulch covers 100-150 square feet at a 3-4 inch depth.
~ 4 cubic yards will cover 400-600 square feet total.
~ Raking and spreading the mulch smoothly and evenly over this larger area is very time consuming.
~ Factoring in periodic breaks and clean up time, it's reasonable to expect spreading 4 cubic yards of mulch would take a single person about 4-6 hours.
~ Having a second person helping could potentially reduce the time a bit. But mulching is slow, labor intensive work.
~ Proper coverage and depth is essential, so allow plenty of time to spread 4 cubic yards properly.
~ Rushing usually leads to uneven results. A smoothly mulched landscape is worth the time investment.
Plan on 4-6 hours for one person to hand spread 4 cubic yards of mulch properly. Additional help or using tools can speed it up somewhat, but doing the job right still requires time and diligent effort. |

WJ TRUCKING & CONSTRUCTION SERVICES |
Answer: Four to six hours Explanation: It generally takes 1 person 45 minutes to install 1 cubic yard of mulch. Hourly rates tend to be $40 – $50 per hour per person. So if, for example, you need 8 cubic yards of mulch spread, then it'll probably cost between $240 – $300. Most bagged mulch is sold in 2 cubic foot bags. So, for every 13.5 bags, you need one cubic yard. Example: If you used 54 bags last year, you would get the same amount of mulch in 4 cubic yards. |
