Ballard Rental Yard Clean-Ups Services

Moving can be chaotic, but your rental yard should shine in Ballard. Let us make your property photo-ready, show-ready, and inspection-ready in no time. Our expert team will handle everything: from cutting and trimming to edging, weeding, mulching, and hauling away debris. You can get back to what really matters—listing your property, showcasing it, or ensuring deposit returns without the last-minute frenzy.


What’s the Problem?

Ever faced a yard that looks neglected? Here are some common scenarios we tackle in Ballard:

  • Tenant move-out left behind knee-high grass, rampant weeds, and piles of leaves.
  • Overgrown hedges blocking walkways and house numbers, risking city notices.
  • Flower beds that lack edges, mulch, and are overrun with weeds—not suitable for listing photos.
  • You need before and after photos along with a clean invoice for records and deposit returns.

What We Do (Tailored for Rentals & Timelines)

Our cleaning services are designed with efficiency in mind, ensuring your Ballard property looks its best:

  • Lawn Reset — We safely bring the grass down to a manageable height and create clean edges along walkways and driveways.
  • Weed-Out & Bed Recovery — We pull weeds and cultivate the soil before applying a 2–3” layer of mulch for lasting suppression.
  • Shrub/Hedge Trim — We expertly trim hedges to create a neat appearance that opens up windows and pathways.
  • Leaf, Needle & Debris Removal — We clear all debris from gravel seams, corners, and stair treads, especially in Ballard’s wooded areas.
  • Hardscape Tidy — We blow and sweep patios and walkways, treating any moss or algae on slick surfaces.
  • Haul-Off — We load up green waste and ensure no “green confetti” is left behind.
  • Documentation — You’ll receive time-stamped before and after photos along with a detailed invoice.
  • Access Made Easy — We coordinate access via text-on-arrival, lockbox codes, or direct communication with tenants.

Let’s be real: one heroic clean-up day won’t erase years of overgrown weeds. We’ll tackle the initial mess and set you up for ongoing success so it stays manageable throughout the lease.


Add-Ons (Customized for Your Needs)

Need a little extra? Consider these add-on services:

  • Sod Patch or Overseeding for thin areas in the front yard.
  • Gravel Top-Up for muddy bin pads or side yards, particularly in rainy seasons.
  • Paver Joint Re-Sand to refill where sand has washed away.
  • Bin Overflow Pickup (yard waste only); we can coordinate junk hauling upon request.

Our Annual Maintenance Plan

Keep your Ballard property pristine year-round with our comprehensive maintenance plan, which includes:

  • Weed Suppression — Regular hand-weeding and targeted pre-emergent applications.
  • Hedge Line Maintenance — Light trims to keep hedges within desired height and width.
  • Mulch Management — Maintaining a 2–3” layer of mulch to suppress weeds effectively.
  • Lawn Care — Regular mowing, edging, moss checks, and seasonal aeration as necessary.
  • Curb-Appeal Touch-Ups — We’ll sweep entries and clear leaves before showings or inspections.

We’re your low-maintenance landscaping solution. With fewer problems between visits, you’ll enjoy less work and happier tenants.


Service Cadences

Choose a schedule that works for you:

  • Turnover Blitz (24–72 hrs) — Get your property ready for photos and inspections fast!
  • Bi-Monthly — Ideal for rentals with rapid growth or tree litter common in Ballard.
  • Quarterly — In-depth spring and fall clean-ups, plus two tune-ups to maintain the property.

(Heavy overgrowth? Start with monthly visits for 60–90 days, then taper off.)


What Annual Maintenance Includes

Our annual maintenance covers:

  • Bed edge re-cuts and weed control.
  • Sides-and-top hedge trims to keep lines sharp.
  • Regular mulch top-ups and lawn edging.
  • Seasonal shrub shaping and light reductions.
  • Debris haul-off every visit, plus photo updates.

Why Annual Maintenance Matters

Keep your property looking its best with these benefits:

  • Consistent Curb Appeal — Attract tenants faster with a well-maintained exterior.
  • Lower Owner Costs — Regular maintenance is more cost-effective than extensive reclamation work.
  • Happier Tenants — Provide safer, cleaner paths and entries, especially in high-traffic areas.
  • Fewer Notices — Prevent weed and hedge encroachments from accumulating.

How It Works

Getting started is easy:

  1. Free Estimate — Send us photos or schedule a walkthrough for clear, upfront pricing.
  2. Schedule — We’ll coordinate with tenants or manage access through lockboxes; tight spaces are no problem!
  3. Service Day — Our team will mow, trim, edge, weed, mulch, tidy up, and haul off debris.
  4. Follow-Up — You’ll receive before/after photos, an invoice, and our recommended maintenance cadence.
