"I connected with Tomas late in the season looking for a total yard cleanup. His estimate was a lot less than others I tried. He arrived 2 days later and was done after a full day and a half worth of work. Outstanding results. Discussed options for next Spring, and when situations changed, I asked if he could do it immediately. He agreed and came the next day himself to do the job. Extremely dependable and easy to get along with. Very happy I was able to be connected with him."

"This company is truly outstanding—reasonable, reliable, and efficient. They have been taking care of my lawn for years, from mowing and raking leaves to mulching with great care. My lawn has never looked better. Last summer, they replaced several arborvitae trees and flowers- the results were fantastic. Their professionalism and respectfulness always stand out. I highly recommend them. "

Since 1850, we have been growing quality nursery crop locally. We have 10 acres of trees, shrubs, and annuals available for purchase. We also are Design/Build firm that can design and install landscaping - patios, walkways, and plantings.
"The landscape designer we started our project with quit Hinsdale Nurseries during our project. Her boss Mike D. took over. He does know design and just a pushy salesperson. He did not listen to what we wanted. He changed the plan and said let's play it by ear the day of the install. They day of the install he sold us a bunch additional trees which he promised we would have a chance to see the layout before the trees went into the ground. He planted them without showing us the trees or layout, when we called to say they needed to be moved . . .he said we needed to reschedule and ofcourse they were booked several weeks out. Then they invoiced and charged us for all the trees including one that died. Dealing with them to fix this was impossible. The owner only wanted to defend Mike. We since hired a new landscaper to fix what they started and we had to remove many of the very expensive trees they sold us. The nursery is nice but very expensive. I would definitely NOT use them for a big landscaping project. They sell you one thing but do a terrible job on implementation and do not follow through on what they promise. Premier and other high end landscapers do a much better job for the price."

Mulch and topsoil services FAQs
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.
