Our Team
We've been serving Upper Northwest DC, Bethesda, Chevy Chase, and portions of Potomac and Northern VA for over 23 years.
Who We Are
Our rockstar team sticks with you week after week. Pretty soon, you'll be on a first-name basis with them, just like our other clients!
Owner
Lisa is honored to be at the helm of Peter’s business and hopes to tap into the luck of her Irish blood as she fills his big footsteps! She loves rock climbing, skiing, practicing medicine, and Peter. Probably not in that order.
Client Relations
Jessica’s job is to work with you and the team to envision, plan, and create a landscape design just for you. She makes sure it gets done! When she is not at work, she loves hiking, nature and cooking with her two beautiful children.
Foreman
Gerardo is our foreman and has been a valued team member at Tenleytown for over a decade. He is not just a landscape technician; he is an artist, always looking for ways to bring beauty to each project. When not working, you can find him doting over his youngest daughter or biking in Rock Creek Park.
Senior Maintenance Lead
Santos is our certified perfectionist. He is the team lead for our maintenance crew and will not deem the job complete until the property meets the highest standards. Santos has now been with us for over a decade and is proud to serve our clients in the DC, Virginia and Maryland area. When Santos is not working, you’ll find him playing fútbol or enjoying the beautiful outdoors.
Bookkeeper
Virginia is one of those amazing humans who makes sense in the universe with numbers. When she is not keeping our books, you can find her rock climbing, fishing or concocting a salve from local foliage.
Office Administrator
We love having Veronica at the epicenter of Tenleytown operations. Call into our offices and she’s the one to answer your questions! When not at work she’s the mom, chauffeur and teacher for two very busy children.
Chief Financial Officer
Jeanni is a partner with an accounting firm by day, working long hours as a CFO for several non-profit organizations. By night she volunteers with Tenleytown keeping our finances in order and being our own Ambassador of Quan (love, respect, community and yes, coin).
Chief Fertilizer
Branna is our empath. She not only senses what you feel but feels it with you. We try to channel Branna as we work with you. Our goal is to deliver more than beautiful design. Our goal is to deliver beautiful design that speaks to you!
Remembering Peter Galvin, Our Founder
We are Tenleytown. We dedicate our hearts and hands to Peter Galvin, our founder, leader, and friend. Peter worked to beautify the neighborhoods where he grew up. He assembled a dedicated team and built a thriving business, starting with a truck, a lawn mower, integrity, kindness, and hard work. We honor Peter’s legacy through our commitment to our clients.
Rest in peace, Peter.

Testimonials
I was at wit's end as the result of unsatisfactory work by another company that was high end. To my great fortune, I located Tenleytown Lawn & Landscape that immediately put their knowledgeable resources and vision to work to address the gardens with great results.
They did a very nice job on a significant front and backyard cleanup project. They were prompt, careful, thorough, and efficient. They were also responsive to input, and adjusted what they were doing to address issues that came up.
Joseph Brenner
Great yard clean up pulling all my pesky vines! I also had several trees/bushes planted as a privacy screen. The crew did a fabulous job.
Margaret HahnThey have taken great care of my one acre lawn—aeration, overseeding, mowing, planting, pruning, mulch beds, walkways—they’ve done it all! The work is always top notch and my yard and lawn look great—year round!
Amy WhetzelMy landscape looks way better than I thought it could, and they're always available to help with maintenance and clean-up.
Jeremy BellOur company has been using Tenleytown for almost 20 years. They do excellent work and are dependable.
