Cherry Blossoms

As anyone in the Washington DC area knows, the Cherry Blossoms around the Tidal Basin are a big deal and something we look forward to seeing every year. There are not too many harbingers of spring better than seeing this spectacular show of blooms.

This year, the National Park Service has moved up the peak bloom period up nearly two weeks earlier than normal. They expect the trees to be at their best from March 18 to March 23. The cause of this is the expected nearly record warm temperatures. Mark your calendar to enjoys this event.

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

This Is 40: The Story of Allentuck Landscaping 40th Anniversary

Allentuck Landscaping April 22, 2026

In 1986, Allentuck Landscaping Co. was founded on something simple: hard work and the desire to build something meaningful. But the story starts even earlier. When Bruce was just 15 years old, he and his best friends wanted to work. They started a small neighborhood business—“Odd Jobs Unlimited”—mowing lawns and taking on whatever projects they could find.
