Spring & Fall Yard Cleanups
Seasonal cleanups that prepare your landscape for the months ahead and keep it looking its best all year.
Why Seasonal Cleanups Matter
Your yard goes through major changes with the seasons. Spring brings new growth, while fall means leaves, dead plants, and preparing for winter. Without proper cleanups, your landscape can quickly look messy and suffer long-term damage. Dead leaves left on your lawn block sunlight and trap moisture, creating perfect conditions for disease and pests. Overgrown plants and weeds compete with your healthy plants for nutrients and water.
Seasonal cleanups give your property a fresh start. In spring, we clear away winter debris and prepare beds for new plantings. In fall, we remove leaves and trim back perennials so your yard goes into winter in good shape. These cleanups also reveal problems you might miss under all the debris. We spot things like drainage issues, diseased plants, and areas that need attention before they turn into expensive repairs.
Regular cleanups also improve curb appeal. A well-maintained yard looks inviting and shows you take pride in your property. Whether you're planning to sell or just want to enjoy your outdoor space, professional landscaping services make a noticeable difference. We handle all the heavy lifting, hauling, and disposal so you don't have to worry about a thing.

Spring vs Fall Cleanup Focus
Spring Cleanup
Spring cleanup gets your yard ready for the growing season. We remove leftover winter debris like fallen branches, dead leaves, and any plants that didn't survive the cold. This is also when we assess your landscape for damage from freezing temperatures and heavy snow. We edge beds, refresh mulch, and make sure your lawn has the best possible conditions for thick, healthy growth.
Early spring is also the ideal time for pruning. We trim back dead growth and shape shrubs before new buds appear. This encourages strong, healthy growth and improves the overall appearance of your landscape. If you're planning any new plantings or improvements, spring cleanup sets the stage for successful landscape design and installation projects.
Fall Cleanup
Fall cleanup prepares your property for winter dormancy. The main focus is removing leaves before they smother your lawn and create breeding grounds for pests and disease. We also cut back perennials and grasses, clear out annual beds, and mulch garden areas to protect plant roots from freezing temperatures.
Gutter cleaning is another critical fall task. Clogged gutters lead to water damage on your roof, siding, and foundation. We clear out all the leaves and debris so water flows properly away from your home. Fall is also when we recommend our mulching and bed maintenance services to give your plants extra protection through the winter months.
