Des Moines Spring Yard Clean-Up Services
Hey there, Des Moines! Winter has left its mark—leaves scattered everywhere, perennials looking a bit sad, and moss creeping in like it owns the place. Don’t worry, though! Our friendly team is here to reset your yard—clearing out debris, pruning, edging, mulching, and giving everything a spring tune-up. Let’s get your garden not just tidy, but absolutely thriving as we welcome the warmth of spring!
What’s Going On?
- Leaf and needle mats are weighing down your lawn and flower beds.
- Moss and thatch are stealing your lawn’s spring sparkle.
- Flower beds look lost—without clear edges, thin mulch, and overtaken by weeds.
- Shrubs and perennials have flopped over, blocking pathways, windows, or even your house numbers!
Our Spring Clean-Up Game Plan (Just for Des Moines)
Here’s how we transform your yard into a spring paradise:
- Leaf & Needle Removal — We’ll thoroughly clear out all debris from your lawn, flower beds, gravel seams, and hardscapes. And yes, we take it all with us!
- Bed Edge Re-Cut — We’ll create those crisp, clean edges that make your flower beds pop and look fabulous all season long.
- Weed-Out + Pre-Emergent Treatment — We stop those pesky weed seeds in their tracks before they even think about sprouting!
- Shrub Shaping & Perennial Cutbacks — We’ll ensure your plants are trimmed just right for optimal blooming.
- Mulch Refresh — We’ll lay down 2–3 inches of fresh mulch, keeping it neat and away from trunks and siding.
- Lawn Jump-Start — Your first mow and edge of the season is covered, plus options for moss treatment, dethatching/power raking, and core aeration.
- Optional Compost Top-Dress — A nutrient-rich layer to boost your soil’s health and encourage robust growth.
- Irrigation Start-Up — We’ll check your system, fix any quick issues, and set a seasonal watering schedule that suits your needs.
- Hardscape Tidy-Up — We’ll blow and sweep pathways, and treat any slick algae on entries to keep things safe and clean.
Let’s be honest: a spring reset without proper edges and mulch is just a tidy mess waiting to fall apart!
Optional Add-Ons to Enhance Your Yard
- Overseeding for those thin patches in your lawn after dethatching or aeration.
- Gravel Top-Up to keep muddy side yards and bin pads clean and tidy.
- Paver Re-Sand for joints that have lost material over the winter.
- Pressure Washing for small entries or steps that have become a slip hazard.

Keep your yard looking gorgeous all year long with our comprehensive annual maintenance plan:
- Weed Suppression — Regular hand-weeding and targeted pre-emergent treatments keep those pesky weeds at bay.
- Mulch Management — We ensure that 2–3 inches of coverage stays consistent and top up any thin spots.

- Lawn Care — We focus on proper mowing heights, seasonal moss control, and aeration when needed.
- Edges & Lines — Regular re-edging of beds keeps your paths and driveways looking sharp.
We’re your low-maintenance landscaping team, dedicated to solving problems between visits and minimizing your workload.
