Mulch does several things at once: it holds soil moisture, suppresses weed growth, moderates soil temperature, and makes beds and tree rings look finished. The key is applying it at the right depth — 2 to 3 inches — and keeping it away from plant stems and tree trunks to prevent rot.
We deliver and install in the same visit. Bags from a hardware store are expensive and labor-intensive for any significant area; bulk mulch installed by a crew is faster and significantly more cost-effective at scale. We move mulch to beds and areas that are difficult to access with a wheelbarrow, and we apply it evenly rather than just dumping and walking.
Available mulch types include natural hardwood, dyed black, dyed brown, and cedar. We'll make a recommendation based on your yard and existing plantings. For most Chicagoland properties, natural or dyed hardwood mulch strikes the right balance of appearance, cost, and longevity.

Common Questions
How much mulch do I need?
At a 3-inch depth, one cubic yard of mulch covers approximately 100 square feet. We measure your beds during the estimate and tell you exactly how much you need.
Do you deliver and install, or is it delivery only?
We do both. Installation — moving mulch to the beds and spreading it evenly — is a separate cost from material and delivery, but most clients find it worth it compared to doing it themselves.
How often should I remulch?
Once a year is typical. Mulch breaks down over the season, and by spring most beds need a fresh layer to maintain the right depth and appearance.
When's the best time to mulch?
Spring, after the ground has warmed and you've done any bed cleanup. Mulching over cold soil can slow warming. Fall mulching after cleanup is also done to protect plant roots over winter.
