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.

FAQs for mulch and topsoil service projects in Newark, IL

Mulch costs anywhere from $30 to $150 per cubic yard, depending on the type you choose. On the inexpensive end, red and black mulch are about $35 to $40 per cubic yard, and are typically made from recycled waste wood like shredded old pallets or deck material. Cedar, cypress, and rubber mulch cost anywhere from $100 to $120 per cubic yard. A pro can help you determine the type of mulch most suitable for your landscaping needs.

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.

Topsoil should go down first. If the topsoil is next to your house, make sure the grade slopes away from the house to keep water from pooling against your foundation and possibly leaking into your basement or crawl space. Don’t cover your decorative landscape mulch with topsoil as that defeats the purpose of laying down the mulch. If you’re trying to create a certain soil composition to improve plant growth, you’ll likely want compost mixed into the topsoil instead of mulch. Over time, any decorative wood mulch will simply decompose under the topsoil.

No, mulch itself does not necessarily attract termites even though it’s usually made of shredded wood. Some types of mulch like cedar or cypress resist termites because they’re toxic or unappetizing to the wood munchers. However, when the mulch is deep enough, say three inches or more, it creates a perfect habitat for insects of all kinds to build nests.

Although it’s not required to lay anything under mulch, it can help to put landscape fabric or plastic weed barrier down and lay mulch on top. The barrier helps keep weeds from growing up through your mulch. It also helps keep rodents and insects from burrowing into the ground underneath.
