I threw a spur of the moment pool party and wanted to spruce up my gardens before my guests arrived. DeSales juggled her schedule around to get the job done in time and the garden looked beautiful for the party! She did an amazing job!
Kerry & Andrew, Governor Grason Manor: Queenstown
We are happy to recommend DeSales as a Garden Warrior! She has made our flower beds neat and clean, weeded, fertilized and pruned to perfection. She is prompt, thorough, and reliable. She has been a Godsend since my back injuries. I am not able to do my gardening right now. I’m so grateful for her knowledge and willingness to research the specific needs of my shrubs and trees.
Rob and Elizabeth, Four Seasons

I highly recommend DeSales for any garden maintenance service work. She is highly professional, extremely knowledgeable and hard working. My yard never looked this good!
Mary Ellen & Paul, Prospect Bay: Grasonville, MD
We have 4 very large gardens on our property and the gardens surrounding the house. Over the last year we have not been physically able to maintain them like we once used to do together. DeSales worked on our gardens for a month and the transition was amazing! I highly recommend her. She is truly a Garden Warrior!
Ellen & Malcolm, Prospect Bay: Grasonville, MD
Over the last several years my physical limitations have kept me from tending my gardens. They were hardly recognizable and so overgrown. DeSales was so thorough and determined with her hand weeding, and she even removed some bushes. She has transformed my garden with pink phlox, hollyhocks, tall phlox, yarrow and daylilies, and she even dug up the heavy stone borders that were buried in dirt. The difference is unbelievable and I can't wait for everything to bloom! Still needs mulch to finish it off.
Brigitte, Grasonville, MD
I have always loved to garden but since I started fighting an illness and getting up there in years, they had really gotten out of hand. I had thorny thistle, weeds and vines everywhere! DeSales spent meticulous hours digging and cleaning it all up and she even avoided the poison ivy! My garden brings me great joy once again!
Wilma, Cloverfields: Stevensville, MD
I have 3 houses and maintaining the gardens was so overwhelming with the amount of weeds in my garden beds. Discovering the Garden Warrior was just what we needed! The work she did was meticulous, and her energy level astounds me. DeSales, you are truly a Garden Warrior! I wish there was someone like you in Virginia!
Margot & Bill, Prospect Bay: Grasonville, MD
I was super impressed with DeSales' attention to detail. She was extremely thorough. My gardens never looked better!
Cindy, Prospect Bay: Grasonville, MD
DeSales is my kind of gardner! She takes care of my gardens the way I would if I could. I feel very lucky to have found her!
Nancy, Centerville
We are very pleased with her attention to our garden concerns and her work to improve our landscape around our home. With only one visit, she has improved the look of the garden significantly. Her level of detail is what we need to keep our yard attractive.
Bob & Judith, Bay Bridge Cove: Stevensville
This warrior prepared my gardens for the winter and pruned my crape myrtle, cut back my perennials to prepare them to hunker down for the winter, hand weeded, and she even removed a large area of that nasty "wire grass" spreading in the grass that was headed towards my pond garden. She seeded the area and covered it with straw. A little added plus...the straw really enhances my Halloween decorations!
Chelsea, Grasonville
DeSales did our 2023 Fall clean up. She researched and became familiar with how each plant should be dealt with to ensure we will have beautiful growth and Spring blooms. The gardens look just as I Iike them -- pristine! She is definitely the "Garden Warrior". We are looking forward to working with her in 2024!
Janice & Tom, Four Seasons: Chester
DeSales is very efficient and reliable. I appreciate the knowledge and expertise to shape up my yard! She completely cleared 2 corner gardens that were full of wiregrass which was growing into everything, including my irises which could not be saved. She covered the gardens with heavy plastic until Spring to discourage any deeper weeds from sprouting. We'll have a blank slate to plant with new ideas!
Melanie, Crab Alley: Chester
WOW! Garden Warrior is a perfect name! The gardens were so overgrown with iris, coneflowers, grasses and English ivy everywhere. Everything was growing into each other. Garden Warrior cleaned it all up by hand and now everything has its place. Two days of work and 23 trash bags of debris later and my garden looks amazing!
Kim, Queens Landing: Chester
After seeing her signs on Kent Island, I decided to contact Garden Warrior (love the name!) since my gardens were in dire need of weeding. DeSales was incredibly kind and fit me into her already busy schedule so my gardens would be ready for our annual family Easter egg hunt. They turned out beautifully and I will definitely be having her back.
Beth & Bruce, Denton
DeSales did a wonderful job with getting our front flower beds ready for Spring! We had let it go over the winter and it really needed some love. She was easy to work with and took care of it all from start to finish. It looks great! Highly recommend Garden Warrior!
Leah, Grasonville
DeSales has revitalized my garden and beautified my pond and brought my landscape back to life! She is meticulous and really loves her work and it shows! Edging an indistinct garden gave it a clean look. She weeded, applied pre-emergents, brought in river rock and mulched. I highly recommend her company!
Robin, Cloverfields: Stevensville
DeSales did the initial clean up of my gardens in the Fall of 2023. She removed stubborn, invasive Johnson grasses, trimmed up all my day lilies, trimmed back all my crepe myrtle trees and did extensive weeding. I'm on her monthly maintenance schedule! I am so glad I found her company!
Janine & Tom, Governor Grason Manor: Queenstown
I hired DeSales, the Garden Warrior, to do a job at my house recently. She was very professional, courteous, quick and affordable. I highly recommend her for any gardening needs. I was totally satisfied!
Dolores & Bob, Four Seasons: Chester
Garden Warrior is NOT a landscaping service. We provide garden maintenance services. What's the difference between a landscaper and a gardener, you ask? Ninety-nine percent of landscapers do not maintain gardens. Their specialty is grass cutting, edging, blowing grass cuttings, tree planting and removal, mulching and perhaps seasonal flower removals and plantings.
You may think the monthly service fee you pay your commercial landscaper guarantees they are taking care of your gardens. Go outside and look! Is your garden weeded or full of weeds? Do you see your rose bushes, day lilies and other blooms with all those ugly, dead, spent blooms and brown foliage! Failure to deadhead these spent blooms and remove dead foliage depletes the energy required to grow new blooms! Unleash their natural beauty and encourage healthy growth with regular maintenance!
We provide residential services to maintain the health and beauty of outdoor gardens. Don't forget your seasonal mulch deliveries and vegetable gardens! Need watering while you are on vacation? We offer that service too!

CURB APPEAL & REAL ESTATE VALUES
The National Association of Realtors indicates that buyers have a zeal for curb appeal! The exterior of your home is the lasting first impression to prospective buyers! Even the simplest home in need of some interior upgrades is more appealing when graced with gardens, flowers, colors and a well kept lawn. Can you imagine this home with a window air-conditioner without the beautiful blooms! NAR confirms that the investment you make in lawn and gardens results in a 100% cost recovery.
"It's better to be a warrior in the garden than a gardner in a war."
"A garden warrior: one who embodies both peace & strength."
My home had a gravel driveway that was 3 cars wide by 100 feet long! It was a rental for quite a few years and when I returned to Maryland it was a weed driveway! Tiny weeeds, big weeds, crazy weeds...unlike this pretty picture! Not satisfied with the look of brown, dead clumps in the driveway for weeks after a dose of RoundUp, only to have them pop right back up a few weeks later, I committed my warrior hands to manually remove all those weeds! My neighbor, seeing me in the driveway for hours on end, started calling me the "Weed Warrior" and she even made me a t-shirt. My daughter would chide me..."mom, you would do fine in prison!" Friends driving by beeped the horn to spur me on! I have to admit there is pride in hard work and a job well done! I had the best looking driveway in town. So when I decided to start the business in July 2023, I had to think of a name. Garden Warrior... it just seemed like it was the perfect fit!
