Mulch Magic Inc. specializes in mulch installation for playgrounds, municipal areas, and commercial and residential buildings.  We are currently developing a list of park districts, municipalities and HOA management companies that we believe would benefit from our expertise. We are not limited to only mulch as  we offer other services such as terraseeding -  a soil and seed blend which eliminates the use of the seed blankets. We can customize any type of seed for any project such as; sports fields, lawn damage or areas with wild flowers native to the region. This is a one time installation and then begins to grow, if you are familiar with hydroseeding its similar but incredibly more effective and faster results. This leads right into our erosion control services which is perfect for any damage done to hills, slopes, or along roadways (sledding, high foot traffic areas, water erosion.)   This is all possible with our fleet of Express Blower Trucks. Express Blower trucks are relatively new to the Chicagoland area, but are gaining popularity amongst park districts and municipalities. At Mulch Magic, we are eradicating the use of high labor costs so you can spend that money/budget elsewhere. This means no strain on your work force and projects completed in a fraction of the time it has traditionally taken. For example, we can install 500 yards of decorative or playground mulch per day. Depending on the project we can be out in as little as 1 day, this includes complete clean up and customer satisfaction. No more heaping piles that can be an eyesore and potentially stain wherever mulch is stored. I welcome the opportunity to schedule a meeting and go over our services in detail.

"The quality of the work was poor, the sod was laid and not rolled out which is preventing the sod from catching and causing the lawn to look uneven, the grass seed/ dirt was spread sporadically over the front lawn without focusing on the bare spots which was the ultimate goal of the seeding. (for treatment/solution to holes in the lawn to promote grass growth in those areas.) Also there was very little grass seeds or dirt spread to back lawn. I brought this to Kevin's attention and he said he would take care of it and that he ran out of dirt, also his response to my calls or e-mails was not timely or not at all. I called and text him on several occasions requesting that he comes to complete the job and he never showed up to complete the job as promised. I also feel the additional cost he charged ($1500) to lay 4 to 5 rolls of sod for 20 ft. x 24 ft. area (480 sq. ft.) , was over priced and he took advantage of me and I am a victim of price gouging. His initial quote he gave me was 3400 (for the seeding, retainer wall removal, aeration, power raking, cutting the grass, plant 1 bush) but I just noticed he has put 3500 on the contract so even in that instance I paid him $100 more than what was agreed upon. The contract that he wanted me to sign was very extensive and "construction focused" and did not address everything we had discussed for this project. It basically was an agreement to ensure payment and cover himself if I did not pay. When I noticed the contract did not list line by line description of the scope of the work I brought that to his attention and asked him to include what the job would intel ( work order) listing what we had talked about. He told me he would bring it when he came to do the job. I didn't receive anything, but he had already came to to start the job. By the time he finally came to start the job I had received a warning from the village due to my grass had grown more then 5 inches waiting for him to come and take care of cutting the grass when he was to start the project. The overall communication and follow up with this company is not good and they do not provide detailed scope of work orders even when requested."

"They need to do a better in bidding jobs. Fall cutting of plants etc. was fine. They were suppose to remove leaves. Prior to the service I had raked up a lot of leaves and left them in a pile to take, they didn’t remove it. I also asked them to take a yard debris pile which they quoted for $55. They didn’t remove it, but after the fact wanted $150 to remove it.They stopped by the first time, reviewed the job and left. Came back to do the job, and didn’t complete to my expectations. If they would have bid the job correctly, there would have been no problem and I wouldn’t have piles of debris in my yard."

"I regret ignoring the negative reviews and being influenced by the Angi.com certification for this supplier. I definitely do NOT recommend hiring this supplier for Lawn Care services. This supplier failed to keep multiple commitments, and was a No-Show on multiple occasions. This small supplier lacks professionalism, is not committed to good customer service, does not keep commitments, and is completely unreliable."

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

The best size rock for your landscaping depends on the design, as different boulders serve different purposes. If you want to group boulders to create a natural-looking cluster, you’ll need a range of sizes. Otherwise, here are some suggestions:

  • Small boulders (smaller than 12 inches across): Best for landscape edging and fire pits 

  • Medium boulders (12–24 inches): Best for retaining walls and water features

  • Large boulders (more than 24 inches): Best as standalone landscaping features, steps, or walkways.

Of course, you can mix and match sizes to create a unique display.

Topsoil costs from $12 to $55 per cubic yard, depending on the type you choose. For example, screened black dirt will cost about $15 per cubic yard. Loam (soil composed of sand, silt, and clay) costs about $17 per cubic yard. Standard screened topsoil costs about $20 per cubic yard. The type of topsoil you need depends on your landscaping plans.

The least costly way to keep grass from growing is also the most labor-intensive: regular weeding. Pull out grass blades as you see them pop up through the soil in areas where they’re unwanted. Another cost-effective way to keep grass from growing is by spreading a thick layer of mulch on the area as this will suffocate the grass.

Pea gravel is hands down a top pick for managing landscape drainage.  These small stones allow water to flow through easily by creating natural gaps that promote runoff. Beyond functionality, pea gravel also offers visual versatility. Homeowners will find a range of earthy tones like gray, brown, blue, and even red, making it easy to match with different outdoor styles and plantings.

Pea gravel comes in a variety of colors, including cream, white, black, gray, and brown being some of the most popular choices for homeowners. You can also find red, yellow, green, and even multicolor options for your landscaping needs. The price of pea gravel is about $350 for the typical home improvement project.
