Behrens Landscaping
Behrens Landscaping, Inc. was established in 1981 by Michael and Carrie Behrens. It was started as a landscape maintenance company and soon evolved to include all aspects of landscape services. We moved to our present location in October of 1989 and started the retail supply section of our business.

We service many residential and commercial properties in the northwest suburban area. We sell landscape supplies to area landscape companies as well as area homeowners. Behrens Landscaping, Inc. is a full service landscape company and retail landscape supply yard. We are located at Rand Road (Route 12) and Lake Cook Road in Deer Park Illinois.

We are one (1) mile west of the Route 53 expressway. If you need additional information, such as product samples, pricing, and availability, please contact us. Due to the limitations of digital images and displays, the colors displayed on this website are for general information only. We recommend that all final color selections be made from actual product samples.
Services
Use our mulch calculator to calculate necessary yardage. 1 yard of mulch covers approximately 100 sq. Premium Hardwood Mulch is a triple processed oak blend. This mulch is cocoa brown in color and does extremely well with keeping down the weeds due to its heavy weight. It is consistently the landscapers favorite.
Organic simply means without the use of pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, sewage, genetically modified ingredients or ionized radiation. If you are looking for pesticide free topsoil you need to find a supplier that knows if pesticides have been applied and has the certificate to proof it. That can be very difficult and expensive.
One of the hot new trends in landscaping is edible gardens. Not only will you save money on your grocery bill but your family will have fun gardening together. An added bonus is that you can feed your family pesticide free fruits, vegetables and herbs. All that's needed is a small plot of land in a sunny location, just till and plant.
With the technology we have today it is easy to discover cool and interesting ways to landscape your yard. But just as you have been hearing 'buy local' for produce the same is true for stone. Each region of our country has rocks that are unique and plentiful. When starting out your landscaping projects, it is best to keep in mind that a stone that is not natural to the area will cost more and have a higher economical impact to bring to the area.
Closed topped vehicles such as SUVS, mini-vans, or large vans cannot be loaded with our front-end loaders for the bulk materials. We recommend renting a pick-up truck from your local hardware store if you need small loads of bulk material or call for delivery. Non-bulk material, such as cobblestone, sod, flagstone, seed, etc. can be hand loaded into vehicles.

Local, Affordable, Timely, Accurate!!! Had 3 tons of sand delivered which needed to be dropped in a tight spot on a rather small tarp. Driver dropped the load right on the money!! Definitely will be using Behrens for most if not all large landscape needs. Appreciate your service, thank You!

Reasonably priced and had great service by both office and loaders. Can be a little bit of a wait if they are busy.

You have to explain to them very slow what you need and need to be there the whole time especially with delivery. I told them to deliver rocks that I ordered to be put at the end of the driveway by the garage. Driver put half on the dirt/mulch area and half on the driveway which made the job more difficult. Also, told them no receipt was needed because they called me on the way to deliver rocks when I told them to give me an hour notice so I could be there for delivery to make sure rocks will be dumped where I wanted them dumoed. Then the driver gave " my customer " the receipt since they called

The great people over at Behrens landscaping just delivered my mulch and I am very happy with it - also they got it here in record time because I had a small window to get my job done! Great Service!

I've used Behrens for all sorts of landscape materials ever since they opened. When they decided to offer salt supply in the winter months that's when they really started going beyond the call of SERVICE. He answers his cell phone for middle of the night loading, he has scaled buckets which allows you to pay for what you are actually getting. This year with all the salt work that has been done Mike and his family have gone beyond the call to supply their customers with the best service and product available. Mike takes pride in making sure his regular customers have what they need to do their job

Our family owned business had bought materials like top soil, river rock, grade 8 gravel when ever we are doing a job in the area during summer time. I went one time during the late night hours to load salt this week and they where very professional loading and everything. Went again yesterday and my father got off the truck and went in the office. He told me the lady at the front office was very rude and unprofessional. We went to the back to load some salt and an older mantold me he wasn’t selling me anything because he was saving it for his regular customers. With out asking our company
