Serving Hobart, IN
Rock, Gravel & Mulch Installation homeowners and businesses in Hobart rely on
Hobart is an older town built around Lake George, and it sits on heavy Lake County clay. That combination shows up in the yards. A lot of the neighborhoods have been here for decades, which means mature trees, established beds, and landscaping that was put in a long time ago and has grown well past what anybody planned for. On clay that drains slow and heaves through the winter, those old beds tend to sink, hold water, and disappear under overgrown shrubs.
This is where we do the most good in Hobart. When a bed has thirty years of overgrown bushes, buried edges, and shrubs swallowing the front of the house, a fresh layer of mulch does not fix it. We cut the overgrowth back or take it out, rebuild the bed and the grade so it drains instead of holding water on the clay, cut a real edge, and replant with the right choices where it makes sense. You get the landscaping back to something you can actually keep up with.

Mulch Installation in Northwest Indiana
Mulch installs are one of our most-requested services every spring. The Meeks Mowing & Landscaping mulch installation process is designed to give your beds a clean, polished, magazine-cover look that lasts the full season:
- Bed prep & edging: Every bed gets hand-edged for a crisp natural border before mulch goes down — no quick spray-paint shortcuts.
- Weed clearance: We pull and treat existing weeds so the new mulch suppresses regrowth all season instead of hiding it.
- Premium-grade mulch: Choose from natural double-shred hardwood, dyed brown, dyed black, or red — sourced fresh from regional yards.
- Even depth, clean edges: Mulch is installed at a consistent 2–3" depth, feathered against foundations and tree rings, swept off all walkways before we leave.
- Disposal of old debris: Spent mulch, leaf litter and trimmings haul away with us — your property stays clean.
What Else We Install
Beyond mulch refresh, Meeks Mowing & Landscaping handles full landscape installation projects from design through plant material:
- Plantings & garden beds: Trees, shrubs, perennials and seasonal color matched to Indiana-zone hardiness and your light conditions.
- Hardscape installs: Decorative stone, boulders, retaining walls, dry creeks, edging and pathways.
- Sod & turf installation: Bare-spot repair through full lawn replacements, including soil prep, grading and post-install watering plans.
- Landscape lighting: Path lighting, uplighting on key trees and accent fixtures wired with low-voltage transformers.
- Property redesigns: Full residential or commercial property landscape design and installation, end-to-end.
