Hillside Landscape installs premium hardwood mulch and handles bed edging, weeding, and seasonal refreshes across Lake County and Chicago's North Shore, servicing 400+ yards each spring since 2001. Spring and mid-season installs keep beds crisp and cared-for from spring through fall.
Beds that stay sharp all season
Rich mulch, clean edges, and tidy beds don't just look good — they hold moisture, suppress weeds, and keep your plantings healthy. Here's everything we take care of.
Premium hardwood mulch
Rich, dark, long-lasting hardwood mulch — not the dyed junk that fades in a month. It looks great and breaks down to feed your beds.
Crisp bed edging
Clean spade-cut or steel edges that define every bed, so the line between lawn and planting stays sharp and intentional.
Weeding & bed cleanup
Beds kept tidy through the season — weeds pulled, debris cleared, and the whole property looking cared-for all summer.
Shrub & hedge trimming
Shaped, healthy shrubs and hedges that frame your beds instead of overrunning them — trimmed at the right time, the right way.
Seasonal refreshes
A full spring install to set the tone, plus mid-season touch-ups so the color and crisp edges last from spring through fall.
Healthier soil & plants
Mulch that retains moisture, moderates soil temperature, and feeds your beds as it breaks down — so plants thrive with less stress.

Mulch & bed care questions
- What kind of mulch do you use?
- Premium hardwood mulch — rich, dark, and long-lasting, not the cheap dyed product that fades in a few weeks. It looks great, holds moisture, and feeds your beds as it breaks down. If you prefer a specific color or material, just ask and we'll match it.
- How often should mulch be refreshed?
- Most beds do best with a fresh install each spring, plus an optional mid-season touch-up to keep the color rich and the edges crisp. Existing mulch usually just needs a top-up rather than a full replacement, which keeps the cost down.
- Is the estimate free?
- Yes. We walk your property with you, measure the beds, and give you a clear, no-obligation estimate — mulch type, yardage, edging, and refresh schedule. You only move forward if the plan and price feel right.
- Can this be added to a maintenance plan?
- Absolutely. Mulch and bed care fits right into a seasonal maintenance plan, so your beds get edged, weeded, and refreshed on schedule without you having to remember to call. Bundle it with lawn care and we'll keep the whole property looking its best.
- What areas do you serve?
- Lake County and the North Shore — Glenview, Northbrook, Deerfield, Highland Park, Winnetka, Lake Forest, Riverwoods, Lincolnshire, and the surrounding communities.
