Mulching Services in Bowie, Maryland
Enhance the Health and Aesthetics of Your Garden in Bowie, Maryland
Mulch helps conserve and extend available water, protects the soil from erosion, reduces competition by suppressing weeds, moderates temperature extremes, and acts as a barrier or visible marker of gardening beds.
Be careful not to use too much mulch as that can create a layer that doesn’t decompose or allow for root growth. The soil can become so compacted that water and nutrients can’t penetrate to the roots. This is easily avoided by stripping off as much of the old mulch and then adding a fresh layer each year. Keep your mulch around 3 inches deep, making sure to keep it away from the trunk of trees or shrubs.
At Allen & Son Lawn Service, we know a healthy lawn is the foundation for a beautiful outdoor space. That's why we offer professional mulching services that go beyond just aesthetics. Think of mulch as a protective layer for your plants and soil. It acts like a tiny sponge, retaining precious moisture during hot summer days, ensuring your plants stay hydrated and healthy. Mulch also helps regulate soil temperature, keeping roots cool and promoting optimal growth. It acts as a natural weed barrier, suppressing those invaders that compete for vital nutrients and water.
Why Mulch is Essential for Your Garden
- Mulch helps retain soil moisture by reducing evaporation, which is especially beneficial during the hot summer months in Bowie, Maryland.
- It acts as an insulator, keeping the soil cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, thus protecting plant roots from extreme temperatures.
- A layer of mulch inhibits weed germination and growth, reducing the need for frequent weeding.
- Mulch, as it breaks down over time, can improve soil structure and nutrient content, contributing to the overall health of your garden.

Before applying mulch, we prepare garden beds by edging and clearing away weeds and debris. This preparation ensures a clean, polished look and enhances the benefits of mulching.

client testimonials
Allen & Son Yard Services saved my summer! I was in need of a company to maintain my yard. They came when scheduled, mowed, edged, and cleaned when completed. Additionally, I had them aerate, seed, and fertilize the yard in the spring and fall. I highly recommend them to maintain your yard! Thank you Allen & Son!!

We have utilized Allen and Son Yard Service to cut our lawn for two years and are very pleased with their excellent service and have recommended them to our neighbors. We are notified of service dates and billed online. This spring we requested they do the mulching work in our yard. We received a price quote at a very reasonable rate and the work was done as soon as the weather allowed. The work was excellent and they took time to do it right. We would highly recommend their service.

We recently purchased a home in Bowie, MD. The previous owner had provided a season’s worth of lawn care, but we were frustrated with how quick and shoddy of a job the last company did each time they came out. Safe to say, we opted to look for a new company this season. After contacting several, we decided to go with Allen & Son for two reasons - 1.) their pricing was better than most and 2.) their owner provided prompt and consistent communication. They’ve already come once and have done a great job; looking forward to a great rest of the season!
