Finally solved the mulch guessing game

Every spring I’d buy too much or too little mulch because I could never figure out the square footage of my beds — especially the curved ones. YardScan fixed that completely. Point your phone, tap the corners, and it gives you the exact bag count in seconds. Used it on three beds this weekend and bought exactly the right amount for the first time ever. Simple, accurate, and free.
