Lawn Care & Landscape Maintenance in Mount Vernon, VA
Caring for a lawn in Mount Vernon means adapting to the challenges of the land. In some spots, the clay-heavy soil stays compact and tough.
In others, big oaks near Ferry Landing Road keep the grass in shade for most of the day. And closer to Little Hunting Creek, lawns can stay wet long after it rains. That’s why lawn care here needs a thoughtful approach. We use treatments that loosen the soil, build up strong roots, and keep the grass healthy through humid summers and shifting seasons.

Built for How Mount Vernon Lives Outdoors
Why Mount Vernon Homeowners Trust J&J
Mount Vernon is a place of calm beauty, with winding streets, mature trees, and river breezes that carry a quiet charm. But the land here often needs more than surface-level care. Rainwater can linger on sloped lawns. Clay soil makes it hard for roots to establish. Towering oaks block sun in some areas, while open yards closer to the river face drying winds.
We’ve worked in these conditions for years. We adjust grading to move water where it needs to go. We break up compacted soil so lawns can breathe and grow. We choose plantings that respond to the light, the wind, and the rhythms of each yard. It’s all part of designing and maintaining landscapes that belong here.

Case study
Project Highlight: A Longtime Client, A Fresh Front Yard
After years of working together, this family returned to us to reimagine their front yard with refreshed plantings and a more defined structure.
We designed a landscape that felt clean, welcoming, and fully in sync with the home's architecture. The result drew compliments from neighbors and gave the family a sense of pride every time they walked up the path. When a rainy forecast threatened an outdoor gathering, we stepped in with a last-minute solution, adding natural stone steps just in time to keep the party outside. It’s the kind of relationship built on trust, quick thinking, and designs that last.
Honoring History and Inspiring Design
Local Highlight: George Washington’s Mount Vernon
George Washington’s Mount Vernon estate is more than a historic landmark; it is a defining presence in the community. Overlooking the Potomac River, this 18th-century estate was home to the nation’s first president and remains one of the most visited historic homes in America. The grounds span acres of gardens, orchards, and wooded trails, with spaces like the Upper Garden, Bowling Green, and historic greenhouse reflecting Washington’s deep interest in horticulture and land stewardship. Mount Vernon still shapes the landscapes that surround it, with boxwood hedges, brick walkways, native plantings, and formal layouts echoing through many nearby properties. For homeowners in the area, the estate is more than a destination; it is part of the everyday backdrop, a reminder of how timeless and intentional outdoor spaces can be. J&J draws from that influence to shape landscapes that feel rooted in history and ready to be lived in.
