Grounds Keeping & Landscaping
in Kensington, MD

The historic core sits on a sloping, tree-shaded landscape with mature canopy and curved lots, so leaf load is heavy in fall and many beds sit in shade. We plan mowing, leaf cleanup, and bed work around the established trees that give these streets their character.

Kensington sits just inside the Beltway in southern Montgomery County, a small town built around a Victorian garden suburb that developer Brainard Warner laid out in the early 1890s. Much of the core is part of the Kensington Historic District, listed on the National Register in 1980, where Queen Annes, Colonial Revivals, shingle-style, and other Victorian homes line curved, sloping streets. Wraparound porches, stained glass, and original wood trim are common, which means upkeep here is the upkeep of century-old houses.

The town is best known nationally for Antique Row on Howard Avenue, the oldest and largest antiquing district in the Washington area, set in brick buildings beside the railroad tracks. Around that walkable core, the surrounding Kensington area includes neighborhoods like Rock Creek Hills, Kensington Heights, Parkwood, and Ken-Gar, where the housing shifts toward mid-century colonials, ramblers, and newer infill.
