Depending on the size of your landscaping project—and the size of your car—you may need to make multiple trips to get your mulch. Whatever the case, to determine how much mulch you can fit in your car you’ll need to check the cargo space and weight capacity of your car.
An average car can usually hold around 10-13 cubic feet of bagged mulch or soil. Mulch is usually sold in 2 cu.ft bags, or in bulk. While it’s cheaper to buy in bulk, we certainly wouldn’t recommend dumping a bunch of loose mulch into your
