Des Moines Overgrown Yard Clean-Up Services

Hey there, Des Moines neighbors! 🌳 Have you lost sight of your fence? Is that grass tickling your ankles a little too much? Or is that pesky blackberry vine giving you a cheeky grin? No stress! We’re your local experts ready to reclaim your outdoor space—quickly and efficiently. Let us transform that overgrown jungle into a yard you can actually enjoy!


What’s the Problem?

You might be facing a few unwelcome guests in your yard:

  • Invasive plants like blackberry, ivy, and morning glory taking over your fences, sheds, and walkways.
  • Garden beds that are completely buried under weeds, with no defined edges, missing mulch, and wild-looking shrubs.
  • Knee-high grass hiding potential hazards like rocks, toys, and wires that could damage your mower.
  • Blocked sightlines, hidden address numbers, and city notices that could lead to unflattering sale photos.

What We Do on a Clean-Up (the real work)

Here’s the scoop on our clean-up process:

  • Brush & Vine Removal — We tackle those pesky blackberry and ivy vines head-on, cutting, pulling, and even root-chasing them for good.
  • Selective Pruning — We’ll rescue your shrubs and trees from vine overload and lift branches to improve visibility.
  • Bed Re-Cut — Our team will carve out clean bed edges to redefine the lines of your garden, making it look sharp.
  • Weed-Out + Mulch — We clear out the top growth and lay down 2–3” of fresh mulch to keep those weeds at bay.
  • Lawn Reset — After a high cut to a safe height, we rake away debris and define edges around paths and driveways.
  • Haul-Off — We take all green waste with us, leaving you with a clean slate—no “green confetti” left behind.
  • Safety & Access — We’ll open gates and paths while trimming back to fences and utilities (and yes, we always call 811 before digging).

Here’s the deal: one heroic day won’t erase a five-year seed bank. We’ll tackle the initial chaos and set you up for success so it stays under control.


Our Annual Maintenance Plan

Let’s keep your yard looking great all year round! Here’s what our annual maintenance plan offers:

  • Weed Suppression — Regular hand-weeding and targeted pre-emergent applications to keep those weeds in check.
  • Invasive Patrol — Spot treatments for blackberry and ivy before they can re-root and become a headache again.
  • Mulch Management — Maintaining that 2–3” of mulch coverage so your beds look fresh and fabulous.
  • Seasonal Pruning — We’ll provide structure and shape to your plants without any harsh cuts.
  • Edges & Lines — Keeping those beds re-edged and paths/lawns looking sharp and tidy.

We’re your low-maintenance landscaping crew. Our mission is to minimize problems between visits, giving you more time to enjoy your outdoor oasis.


Service Cadences

Choose a schedule that fits your needs:

  • Quarterly — Includes spring and fall deep cleans along with two tune-ups throughout the year.
  • Bi-Monthly — Ideal for areas with heavy growth, tree litter, or fast-growing invasives.

(For severe overgrowth, we recommend starting monthly for 60–90 days, then tapering to a regular schedule.)


What Annual Maintenance Includes

Here’s a quick rundown of what you can expect from our annual maintenance:

  • Redefined bed edges and debris removal.
  • Targeted invasive plant knock-backs (blackberry, ivy, morning glory).
  • Mulch replenishment where it’s thin or disturbed.
  • Seasonal shrub shaping and removal of deadwood.
  • Lawn edging and trimming, plus a quick health assessment.

Why Annual Maintenance Matters

Investing in regular maintenance offers some solid benefits:

  • Prevents Costly Recovery — Small, consistent efforts are far better than an expensive clean-up down the line.
  • Lower Weed Pressure — A good layer of mulch combined with timing means fewer seedlings and less labor for you.
  • Safer, Cleaner Access — Clear paths, steps, and sightlines for your peace of mind.
  • Improved Curb Appeal — Neat lines look great in person and will impress in photos when it’s time to sell.

How It Works

Getting started is a breeze:

  1. Free Estimate — Send us some photos or schedule a quick walkthrough; we believe in clear, upfront pricing.
  2. Plan the Pass — Together, we’ll prioritize what needs to go and what stays to enhance your yard’s beauty.
  3. Clean-Up Day — We’ll cut, pull, prune, edge, mulch, and haul everything away for a fresh start.
  4. Follow-Up — We’ll provide you with simple care tips and a maintenance schedule tailored to your needs.
