Mulch is one of the simplest and most effective ways to improve the look and health of your landscape. For over two decades, A Uribe Landscaping has provided professional mulch installation and replacement services throughout the Chicagoland suburbs, helping homeowners protect their plants, control weeds, and enhance curb appeal.
Arturo Uribe and his team handle every detail — from removing old mulch to shaping clean bed edges and spreading new material evenly. Whether you need seasonal refreshes or a full landscape update, we ensure your property looks sharp and stays healthy year-round.
Benefits of Mulch Installation
If you’ve ever searched “What does mulch do for my landscape?” or “Is mulch worth it?”, the answer is yes — and here’s why:
- Improves Soil Health
Mulch adds organic matter that enriches the soil, promotes moisture retention, and helps regulate temperature around plant roots. - Prevents Weed Growth
A proper layer of mulch blocks sunlight, preventing most weeds from sprouting and reducing the need for herbicides. - Moisture Retention
Mulch keeps soil moist longer by slowing evaporation — crucial for hot Chicago summers and plant survival during dry spells. - Temperature Regulation
It insulates plant roots against harsh weather, keeping them cooler in summer and warmer in winter. - Enhanced Appearance
A fresh layer of mulch instantly cleans up flower beds and gives your home a professionally maintained look.
Our Mulch Installation Process
- Bed Preparation – We remove debris, old mulch, and weeds, then reshape bed edges for a crisp, defined look.
- Material Selection – Choose from premium shredded hardwood, dyed brown, black, or red mulch, pine bark, or decorative stone alternatives.
- Installation – We spread mulch evenly at the proper depth (2–3 inches) to ensure protection without suffocating plant roots.
- Final Cleanup – We leave every property clean, sharp, and ready to impress.
When to Replace Mulch
Over time, mulch naturally decomposes and loses its color. In the Chicagoland climate, it’s best to replace or top-dress mulch once per year — typically in spring or early summer.
Signs your landscape needs new mulch:
-
The color has faded to gray or light brown.
-
Mulch has thinned to less than two inches.
-
Weeds are starting to grow through the surface.
-
You notice dry, compacted soil beneath your beds.
Replacing old mulch not only improves appearance but also restores soil health and moisture retention.
Common Questions About Mulch
How often should I replace mulch?
We recommend refreshing or replacing mulch once per year in the Chicagoland area, ideally in spring or early summer, to maintain appearance and functionality.
What type of mulch lasts the longest?
Hardwood mulch is the most durable and decomposes slowly, while dyed mulch retains its color longer. We’ll help you choose the best option based on your property and plant types.
Is mulch good for flower beds and trees?
Yes — mulch provides insulation, prevents weeds, and helps retain moisture around flowers, shrubs, and trees.
Can you remove old mulch before installing new?
Absolutely. We remove old or decomposed mulch to prevent excess buildup, allowing new material to perform properly.
Do you offer decorative stone alternatives to mulch?
Yes. For low-maintenance areas, we can install decorative gravel or river rock as a permanent mulch alternative.
