We know what you’re thinking. You’re wondering what makes our ground covers so special. After all, isn’t all mulch the same? What could possibly make our ground covers better than the stuff you find in bags at the hardware store? We’re glad you asked!
There are three qualities that set our ground covers apart:
Unlike inorganic mulches, our ground covers nutrify the soil around them. So, they will help all your plants, trees and flowers grow up healthy, strong and tall.
Over the past three decades, we’ve developed relationships with the best harvesters in the tri-state area. They supply us the premium hardwood for our mulches.
Who knows what might be lurking in that bag at the hardware store? We ensure the quality of every mulch order by processing every single tiny piece on location.
Our premium mulch is sustainably sourced from trusted local harvesters, reducing transportation time and ensuring the continuity of local woodlands or forests.
The wood used in our mulch is kiln-dried, ensuring that all pests are eradicated during the process, so you don’t risk pest infestations in your landscape.
Our mulch doesn’t contain inorganic materials like rubbers, plastics, treated wood or harmful chemicals, so it won’t damage the health of your outdoor space.
We carefully process all our premium mulch in-house to ensure you receive the most beautiful end product possible for maximum curb appeal enhancement.
Ordering and receiving the best mulch for your outdoor space shouldn’t be a hassle. That’s why our customer service team makes every effort to create a simple, stress-free ordering process for our valued customers. When you call, a team member will listen carefully to the mulch type and quantity you want. They’ll also ask if you have special delivery instructions and provide an estimated arrival time.

Answer: Premium Hardwood
Looking to keep weeds away from your precious greenery? You can’t go wrong with our premium hardwood. It provides the coverage necessary to suppress weeds while also nutrifying the soil as the organic material decomposes.
Answer: Premium Hardwood
If you need to cover a slope or the base of a tree, you need something that won’t roll away easily. Because our premium hardwood comes shredded, its pieces hold together well. They’ll stand firm on even the steepest grades.
Answer: Chocolate or Red
Our chocolate and red mulches are excellent options if you’re going for an eye-popping aesthetic. These dyed mulches are perfect for any outdoor decorator’s color pallet.
Answer: Premium Hardwood
Most customers want a ground cover that spreads easily and gives lasting results. To them, we recommend our premium hardwood. It’s by far the most popular, proven and cost-effective ground cover we offer.
Answer: 2+ Inches
If your mulching goal is to prevent weeds, you should lay down two or three inches. This will provide sufficient ground cover to keep weeds at bay.
Answer: 1 to 4 inches
The right amount of mulch depends on your end goals and where the mulch will be used. For example, two or three inches is perfect for most flower beds, but some trees may require four inches.
Answer: Yes
A depth of over four inches is generally unnecessary when mulching. Not only that, but more than four inches could cause more harm than good. The reason? Layering mulch too thickly can strangle the roots of your plants by not allowing enough oxygen or water into the soil for absorption.
Answer: Annually
We recommend applying mulch once a year, preferably in mid-spring. If you’re using our organic hardwood mulch, don’t bother removing anything left from last year. The decomposing remnants of last year’s mulch are actually adding nutrients to your soil!
We want to make it as easy as possible for you to get our premium mulch. That’s why we offer efficient delivery to your home or business and easy curbside pickup at our Woodstock or Lake in the Hills locations.
