Over here, we call that lawn or yard maintenance , rather than gardening. There are a lot of companies that do this kind of work, and also just one-man kind of businesses as well.
Because there are a lot of apartments and also retail businesses that always need yardwork done, these people seeme to do really well, even year around when mowing is not necessary.
Here in Huntsville, where i live, they mostly use some kind of lawn grass that turns yellow and dies in the winter for most lawns, so it always looks really brown and ugly by late fall.
Some people do use grass that stays green, but even that does not grow much over the winter.

But there are always shrubs that need trimmed, and other lawn care things that need done, so it is probably a business that would work year around for you as well. If you had a rototiller, you could even till up garden spaces for people, for either flowers or veggies.
I like the Green Hands Garden Care name the best, I think.
 
That is interesting, @Smithy ! Over here, a yard is definitely a place with grass that surrounds your home. The grass growing in the yard is called the lawn, and if you have flowers or veggies in a special area, then that is what we call the garden area.
Most yards have fences around the whole property, but sometimes only part of the yard is fenced. Our house has a fenced back yard, but the front yard is not fenced, and just goes from the house out to the street.
The hard surface area is maybe what we would call a patio, or even a deck , here. They can be cement , or if they are outside of a door, then they are usually wooden and called a deck.
 
I vote for Green Hands Garden Care or Smith's Gardening Services. The "Services" would cover the pressure washing and gutter cleaning.

I don't think "yard" is what I would call slang. It is just American idiom which is often different form the UK.
 
I like Smiths Garden Maintenance it gives more info of what you do.
Back in the 70's I was partners with my brother in a lawn maintenance business.

Our business name was "Rose Lawn Maintenance". We had a symbol of a rose flower in the name. The business was named after our mom (Rose).

I left after 2 years, my brother at 77 YO, still takes care of 16 accounts.

We purchase a business with a dump truck, all tools, and machines (edges mowers. Backpack blowers etc.)

We started with 42 account, at the end of the 1st year we had 95 accounts, we actually were turning people down (away), we couldn't handle the work.

I wish you success.
 
Pain In The Petunias Garden Services
"We get the pain in the petunias so you don't have to."

By the way, just in case anyone is wondering why I always say that, it's a polite was to say "Pain in the ***." that I came up with running my friend Rick's Natural Yard Forum, which was about like the Senior Forums. I was always thinking of the elderly ladies and having a sense of decorum on the forum.
