We like to typically start fresh and install new mulch after removing the old layer, depending on the existing depth. It's recommended to have around 2-3 inches of mulch, since anything beyond that can have negative effects, and anything lower than that won't offer the maximum benefits.

Mulch can be added from late March to August. These are typically the best times to install mulch here in Chicago due to the weather conditions.

Benefits of Mulch

Including mulch as part of your landscaping services can bring many benefits to your yard's overall health and aesthetics.

  • Reduced Weed Growth

    Mulch can prevent weeds from growing in your backyard and help your plants retain the nutrients that weeds would otherwise steal. Before we install the mulch, we also remove any existing weeds to prepare the area.

  • Retains Moisture

    A layer of mulch can significantly help with your soil's moisture retention. The moisture will evaporate much more slowly, allowing your plants more time to soak it up. It also saves you time by reducing the amount of watering you need to do. Since summers in the city can be hot and humid, mulch helps keep your plants hydrated.

  • Regulates Soil Temperature

    Mulch can act as an insulator, guarding against extreme temperature changes. With Chicago's crazy weather, it can protect your plant roots and help maintain a stable soil temperature. In the summer, it will keep the plants cooler, and in the winter, it will help keep them warmer.

  • Protects Against Erosion

    Erosion can occur when rainwater washes away your soil. A protective layer of mulch slows down the water and also holds the soil in place. It's a great way to stabilize your landscape.
