Seasonal Cleanup
Get a one-time seasonal service for a clean, polished landscape.
Seasonal cleanups are one of the most transformative services we offer—and a powerful reset for your landscape.
In a single, thoughtfully planned visit, we clear away built-up debris, redefine garden beds, and address season-specific needs. The result is often an immediate and noticeable improvement in the look, health, and structure of your property, while setting a strong foundation for the season ahead.
This service protects the investment you’ve already made in your landscape and helps ensure everything is prepared to thrive moving forward.
A scheduled one-time visit delivers pruning, and season specific treatments tailored to your landscape, complete with debris removal.
Our crew arrives on a set day, completes the work efficiently, and leaves your property clean and orderly.
- Bed care and edging. We weed planting beds, keep them tidy, and maintain a clean three-inch edge along mulch beds and tree rings.
- Pruning and plant maintenance. We use proper techniques to prune shrubs and ornamental trees to support plant health and shape.
- Season-specific treatments. We apply fertilizer, pre-emergent, soil amendments, aeration, or overseeding when appropriate for the season and your property.
- Debris removal. We clear leaves, weeds, and yard waste from turf, beds, and hardscape, then haul everything away.
- Optional add-ons. We quote planting of annuals, gutter and downspout cleaning, and plant health treatments separately when you request them.
We handle the planning, labor, and disposal so your landscape looks consistently maintained with minimal time from you.
Thoughtful Care, Timed to Every Season
As winter fades, we take a thoughtful approach to refreshing your landscape for the season ahead. Planting beds are gently cleared, edged, and mulched to provide a clean, nourished foundation for new growth. Spring is also the primary time for proper pruning of trees and shrubs, allowing us to address winter damage, guide natural form, and support long-term plant health. When appropriate, we apply spring fertilizer and pre‑emergent treatments to encourage strong root development and help limit early weed growth.

Summer care is designed to help your lawn and planting beds remain healthy through periods of heat, sun, and regular use. We apply a soil support amendment to turf to help grass better withstand seasonal stress. Planting beds are maintained to conserve moisture and reduce competition for nutrients. Trees and shrubs receive selective, proper pruning as needed to maintain structure. The focus remains on preserving color, health, and overall appearance through the height of the season.

Fall is our second growing season when we apply fertilizer to replenish nutrients and support continued root strength. Leaves are carefully removed from turf and planting beds to prevent buildup that can contribute to pests or disease. Trees and shrubs are pruned as appropriate to remove dead or damaged growth and maintain sound structure. When conditions warrant, core aeration and overseeding can be included to relieve compaction, improve airflow and water movement, and encourage fuller turf heading into winter.
Schedule Your Complimentary Consultation
In Winter, we perform seasonal winterization of herbacious plant material to promote healthy growth in Spring. This includes cutting back perennials at the appropriate height, and removing spent or damaged foliage. Winterization helps protect root systems through the colder months and supports a cleaner, healthier start when spring returns.

How Tenleytown manages your seasonal cleanup
Shrubs and ornamental trees get a healthy, intentional shape
Professional pruning and plant maintenance
We use proper pruning techniques suited to each species and focus on maintaining structure and long-term plant health. We prune shrubs and ornamental trees and flag any larger work that should be quoted and scheduled separately. Structural pruning and cleanup are timed for dormant periods where appropriate, giving your plants good structure and promoting healthy growth.
I recently had Tenleytown Lawn & Landscape for the first time. The gardens had become overgrown and weed filled during the time that I was working on other projects. They came and weeded the entire yard, did a complete cleanup, trimmed the shrubs and mulched all gardens. I am very happy with the results and intend to have them continue their excellent work in the future.
Your property is restored without you managing crews
Seasonal planning and confirmed scheduling
Tenleytown Lawn & Landscape sets your seasonal cleanup on the calendar, confirms access details, and assigns a supervised crew to your property. The team works from a defined scope that covers debris removal, bed care, and season specific treatments, and they finish the visit in an organized sequence. You receive confirmation when the work is complete along with any notes that need your review, so that your landscape stays on schedule with almost no time or follow-up required from you.
The process was seamless with excellent service and professionalism, they went the extra mile in terms of care and clean up, absolutely will be using them going forward.
Work is completed with minimal impact on your household and neighbors
Discreet, respectful on-site conduct
You’ll receive a courtesy alert with a text when we’re on the way. Our team parks thoughtfully, respects property boundaries, and follows any specific instructions you share about gates, pets, and access. Communication runs through a single point-of-contact so you are not fielding questions from multiple people. The crew works efficiently, stages debris neatly before removal, and performs a final check before leaving, so that your property feels well-cared for without adding stress or inconvenience to your day.
They did a very nice job on a very significant front and backyard cleanup project. The team was prompt, careful, thorough, and efficient. They also were responsive to input during the project, and adjusted what they were doing to address issues that came up.
Turf, beds, and hardscape are brought back to a clean, finished standard in one visit
Comprehensive whole property cleanup
We treat your property as a connected landscape, not as separate tasks. The crew clears leaves, weeds, and debris from turf, beds, and hardscapes. Planting beds and tree rings are edged, and landscape debris is hauled away for proper disposal. The result is a consistent, finished look across the entire property.
I had neglected my DC home's yard pretty much an entire year. Plants and shrubs overgrown and blocking walk ways, weeds, sticks and decomposing leaves on the hardscaping. I turned to Tenleytown Lawn & Landscape and had an excellent experience from start to finish. On the day of service, the crew got it all accomplished in a few hours. The team was polite, efficient, and fastidious. They walked the yard with me when they were done to talk about it. The outdoor space looked immaculate. It was a wonderful transformation! I highly recommend them for your outdoor space needs!
Leaves are cleared or recycled without you managing bags or regulations
Leaf and debris handling that meets local requirements
We evaluate where leaf volume is best handled by mulching into turf, and where full removal is the better option. Debris is gathered, loaded, and hauled away or prepared according to the expectations of your jurisdiction, including specific rules that apply in the District. The goal is a clean property with compliant disposal practices, so that you do not have to track changing guidelines or deal with leftover piles after the crew leaves.
Everything your property needs to look expertly maintained in every season with one scheduled visit
- A property that looks consistently finished and guest ready. Your turf, beds, and hardscape are cleaned, edged, and detailed in one visit so the entire property presents as a well maintained space.
- Seasonal cleanup that does not require you to manage crews. Tenleytown sets the date, confirms access, and assigns a supervised team so your landscape stays on schedule without last minute coordination from you.
- Service that fits smoothly into how you run your home. The crew works discreetly, follows your preferences, and communicates through a single contact so your privacy, schedule, and standards remain intact.
- Beds that stay neat, defined, and free of buildup. Planting beds are weeded, cleaned, and edged to a clear three inch depth so they frame your home and hardscape cleanly.
- Shrubs and ornamentals that keep a healthy, intentional shape. We use appropriate pruning techniques for plants up to roughly eight to ten feet and flag larger work for separate quoting so your landscape matures in a controlled way.
- Leaf and debris handling that respects your neighbors and local rules. During heavy leaf season we decide where to mulch into turf and where to remove entirely, then manage disposal in line with expectations in Northwest DC, Bethesda, Chevy Chase, and District regulations.
- Whole property debris removal and lawful disposal. The crew clears leaves, weeds, and landscape debris from turf, beds, and paved areas, then handles hauling or compliant disposal so nothing is left for you to move or monitor.
- Season specific treatments applied at the right time. Fertilizer, pre emergent, soil amendments, aeration, and overseeding are recommended and performed when they support long term soil health rather than on a fixed chemical schedule.
- Availability after the work is done. If you're home when the work concludes, we'll walk the property with you to make sure the work is up to standard. You can also reach out to us at 202-362-3383.
