Tree & shrub trimming

We begin with the place: its light, its soil, and the way you want to spend time outdoors. At DC Gardens, ecological thinking informs our landscape design, installation, and continuing garden care. Planting, stone, timber, irrigation, and lighting work together to create a complete garden. From a small urban courtyard to an established residential landscape, our aim is a space that feels personal, useful, and connected to the natural world.

Grow dinner. Welcome pollinators. Spend more time outside. 🥕 We design and build vegetable gardens and sustainable landscapes for homes, schools, restaurants, and community spaces across the DMV. Raised beds, native planting, paths, and stormwater solutions can all become part of a garden that gives something back. Our urban farmers also offer regular care and one-to-one coaching, so you can learn alongside us or simply enjoy the harvest.

    Mark plants and structures to keep or remove. Note drainage, irrigation, lighting, permits, material preferences, and who should clear the waste.

    Ask for the same breakdown

    Have every company separate site preparation, materials and quantities, installation, cleanup, aftercare, and the expected completion window.
