How Does Mulch Protect Your Hawthorn Woods, IL Trees and Flowerbeds?

Mulch is made from wood chips and other organic materials. Think of mulch like a really thick soil that's packed full of nutrients and nitrogen. It's the perfect material to line your planting beds, encircle your trees, and soften the ground at a playground or park.

Professional gardeners and commercial landscapers swear by the restorative powers of mulch because:

Mulch enriches the soil.

Mulches made from organic matter decompose over time. The nutrients break down and mix with the soil so your plants' roots can absorb them. Many mulches include natural nutrients that your region's soil lacks due to over-processed soil.

Mulch helps root systems and soil retain water.

The more you can conserve water while still keeping your landscape healthy, the better. Both homes and commercial properties can save hundreds or thousands of gallons of water over time by protecting the bases of your plants and trees. Thick layers of mulch stop water from evaporating or running into your yard's drainage system.

Mulch insulates roots against cold weather and snap freezes.

When the weather in the greater Chicago, Illinois, area gets cold, it doesn't mess around. Snap freezes and plummeting temperatures can damage your plants if they aren't already dormant. The roots are particularly vulnerable to freeze damage. Even tree roots need help to withstand Midwest winters. Mulch acts as a thick winter coat for your landscaping and slows down the icy weather from shocking your plants.

Mulch is a barrier that stops weeds and invasive species from taking root.

Weed control is a constant battle. All of McGinty Bros., Inc. services work together to keep your lawn weed-free, and mulch is part of that effort. It demarcates a clear barrier around your planting beds that weeds can't penetrate. That means your preferred landscaping plants can keep all of the water and nutrients to themselves.

Mulch makes your landscaping look great.

If you love the lawns you see in home improvement and patio commercials, keep an eye out for the mulch the next time you see one. There will be fresh, earthy mulch in a perfect circle around the trees. It will surround new shrubs and plants in geometric beds against the fence and the house's foundation. Mulch provides beautiful contrast and helps organize those picture-perfect landscaping scenes. 

Whether you want to beautify your home's landscaping or you want curb appeal in front of your store, mulch can make it happen.

We Make the Best Mulch with Old Family Recipes

McGinty Bros., Inc. has been a family company for over sixty years, and we know what makes a good mulch for the Chicagoland area. We even make our own tried and true McGinty Bros mulch blend. Mulch blends might not taste like Mom's chicken soup, but they're made with hearty, nutritious ingredients.

What mulch works best? We're glad you asked. Every property is different, and every mulch offers different benefits. We offer different types of mulch for residential and commercial properties that look great and cut down on landscaping emergencies so your plants grow strong and healthy. We also offer a certified playground mulch so children grow up strong and healthy, too. (Please don't eat it.)

Dark, hardwood mulch blends and premium bark mulch

If you want a mulch that both beautifies your yard and actually enriches the soil, select a woody mulch. Mulch does a better job insulating the soil against cold weather and evaporation. The wood also adds nutrients back into the dirt. At McGinty Bros., Inc., we make our own McGinty Mulch with dark, hardwood chips.

Certified playground mulch

Playgrounds need soft ground cover so children can run, fall, and fly off the swing sets without hurting themselves. Playground mulch provides that soft landing, especially compared to gravel or solid surfaces.

Locally grown stump mulch

Having to cut down a tree because of storm damage is always sad, both for the homeowners who lose a beautiful tree and the tree removers. But it's not all bad news. When we're grinding down the stump so you have more space in your yard, the chips can be used as mulch to protect your other trees and shrubs.

Why Do Trees Love Mulch So Mulch?

If you protect the roots, you protect the tree. Good mulch coverage protects your trees' roots throughout the seasons from a lot of things that can hamper their growth. That includes everything from droughts and ice storms to invasive plants.

Mulch is also a great substitute for the loose crumbly soil that all shrub and tree roots love. When you use McGinty Bros., Inc.'s mulch services, you're setting up your trees for a healthy long life with a strong root system.
