Cypress mulch is made from Cypress trees in the south. Some Cypress mulches are the entire tree chipped up and some are mainly the bark off of these trees. We recommend you mulch 3 inches deep. At this depth one cubic yard covers approximately 100 square feet. So to figure how much to buy you will need to find the square footage of the area you wish to mulch.
