"I would hire Tenleytown Landscape again and again" - Jennifer

"My Yard Is Offensive"

That's a quote from a client. It's pretty extreme but if you told us you hate your yard it wouldn't be the first time we've heard it.

Our area has mostly older homes on smaller lots. This often means:

Overgrown or neglected landscaping.
Tired or damaged paths, drives or patios.
Poor drainage.

And, even if it's not terrible, it's not suitable for your lifestyle: It takes too much time to maintain. It's designed for kids. It's not designed for kids. You need parking AND somewhere to relax or entertain outside.

That's where we come in...

We've Done a Lot of Landscaping in the DC Metro Area Over the Last 25 Years

It's a team effort, but the buck stops with Lisa.

Lisa took over the business after the passing of her husband, Peter Galvin.

For 25 years prior, Lisa practiced emergency medicine, where she honed skills that have surprisingly transferred beautifully to running this exceptional business that Peter built. In emergency medicine, she learned the importance of building trust with people, often in high-pressure situations. This same focus on rapport and clear communication is something she brings to every interaction with her clients.

Get a Garden You’ll Want to Spend Time In

Our landscaping and hardscaping design transform your yard into a stunning retreat. Enjoy a space that's not only beautiful but also practical and tailored to your lifestyle.

Holistic Approach

Rather than just addressing individual features like retaining walls or walkways, a landscape design package considers the entire space and how each feature can work together to create a cohesive and functional outdoor oasis.

Tailored to Suit Your Taste

We'll work with you to tailor your design to suit your great taste. We'll suggest and help you select everything from the type of stones we use for your hardscapes to the grading of your land and the species of plants we install in it.

Love Your Home and Garden

Once the work’s finished, you get a space that feels good and doesn’t ask much of you. It’s tidy, well-built, and easy to look after so you can spend more time enjoying it than maintaining it. And, if you like, we'll maintain it for you.

Designers Who Listen, Follow Through, and Create What You Envisioned

Our process is designed to make your landscaping project smooth and enjoyable, from start to finish.

Start With a Complimentary On-Site Consultation

Jess will meet you on-site to walk the property together, looking at things like the layout, slopes, soil, and existing features. We’ll ask questions to understand your vision and may offer ideas based on our experience.

We Get to Work

We’ll create a plant and color palette that fits your property and your style. We can also provide 2D and 3D renderings if you’d like, for a small extra cost. Once the design is ready, we'll give you a fixed-price quote and, if you like, we'll handle the whole project from start to finish.

A Space That Feels Good to Be In

At the end of the project, you’ll have an outdoor space that looks how you pictured—and works the way it should. The groundwork is solid, the plants are healthy, and the details are done right. It’ll feel finished, cared for, and ready to enjoy.

High level of customer service

When we met with Tenley Landscapes, we knew we had finally found the right company for us. They were responsive and provided a high level of customer service that we didn't get from other companies.

Would definitely recommend

The previous tenant had neglected lawn and gutter care. Tenley was the only company that could do lawn cleanup AND gutters all-in-one! I would definitely recommend Tenleytown Lawn and Landscape!
