Welcome Back Breakfast

Although our staff had been back and actively working for a few weeks, we officially welcomed everyone back with a breakfast of egg, sausage and cheese burritos expertly prepared by Bruce and Tim.

Lessons From Landscaping – Help. Ask For It

Our leadership team has spent the last month reading and discussing Creating Magic: 10 Common Sense Leadership Strategies From A Life At Disney by Lee Cockerell. In his book, Mr. Cockerell chronicles lessons he learned regarding customer service, employee engagement and striving for excellence during his tenures at Disney and Marriott, two companies that excel at those three functions. It has been an excellent read.

I have often wondered if the books we read actually sink into my team’s brains. My concerns were dispelled this week.

Creating Better School Environments: Our 2026 Gardens for Grades School Grants

Allentuck Landscaping August 25, 2026

At Allentuck Landscaping CO., we believe landscaping can do more than make a property look better. It can improve how people feel about the places where they live, work and learn. That belief is at the heart of our Gardens for Grade School Grants initiative—last week, we had the opportunity to continue that effort at three North Potomac elementary schools: Travilah, Stone Mill and Dufief Elementary Schools. Through this year’s service, our team donated the time, labor and expertise needed

10 Ways to Soften Your Patio and Create an Outdoor Living Space You’ll Never Want to Leave

Allentuck Landscaping July 8, 2026

One of the biggest misconceptions homeowners have is that a larger patio automatically creates a better outdoor living space. In reality, size isn’t what makes a patio inviting. The outdoor spaces people enjoy most are thoughtfully designed with a balance of hardscape and softer landscape elements that make the space feel comfortable, welcoming, and lived in. Whether it’s synthetic turf, ornamental grasses, outdoor rugs, water features, or a pergola that creates a destination within the landscape, the right details transform
