Most residential landscape beds look best with 2–3 inches of mulch.
Rule of Thumb
2 inches = clean refresh
3 inches = better weed suppression and longer-lasting coverage
If you’re unsure, we measure and calculate yardage for you so you don’t overbuy or end up short halfway through the job (that’s when mulch starts winning the argument).
Spring vs. Fall Mulch Installation in Illinois
Spring Mulching (Most Popular)
Spring mulch installation in Lake Forest is ideal for:
seasonal curb appeal
better moisture retention going into summer
getting ahead of weeds
Fall Mulch Refresh
Fall mulch is great for:
topping up thin beds after summer breakdown
soil insulation heading into winter
keeping beds looking clean through colder months
We install mulch in both seasons—your goals determine the best timing.
Mulch Installation With Edging (The “Clean Look” Upgrade)
If you want mulch beds to look professionally finished, bed edging is the secret weapon.
Why homeowners add edging:

helps keep mulch in place
makes the whole landscape look more intentional
If you’ve ever looked at your beds and thought “something’s off,” it’s usually the edge.

FAQ: Mulch Installation & Delivery in Lake Forest
How much does mulch installation cost in Lake Forest, IL?
Most mulch projects vary based on bed size, mulch type, and prep needs. Small refreshes cost less, while full-property installs with cleanup and edging cost more. We provide fast quotes based on photos and bed measurements. Price starts at $180+.
How often should mulch be replaced in Illinois?
Most homes benefit from a yearly refresh, especially after winter and spring rains. Some beds may need a light fall top-up if mulch breaks down faster in shaded or high-water areas.
What type of mulch is best for landscaping beds?
For most Lake Forest homes, shredded hardwood mulch is a strong all-around option. Black and brown are great for curb appeal. Cedar can be a premium option if you want longer-lasting coverage and a distinct look.
Is spring or fall better for mulch installation?
Spring is the most common time to install mulch for curb appeal and weed control. Fall mulching is also helpful for insulating roots and freshening beds before winter. We install in both seasons.
Does mulch help with weeds and moisture?
Yes—when applied at the right depth. A proper layer helps reduce weeds and improves moisture retention, which keeps plants healthier and reduces how often you need to water.
