Mercer Island Rental Yard Clean-Ups Services

Hey there, Mercer Island! 🌿 Moving can be a whirlwind, but your rental yard doesn’t have to be part of the chaos. Let us help you make your property photo-ready, show-ready, and inspection-ready in a snap! Our dedicated team is here to tackle everything from cutting and trimming to edging, weeding, mulching, and hauling away debris. You can focus on what really matters—listing your property, showcasing it beautifully, or getting your deposits back without the last-minute scramble.


What’s the Problem?

Ever looked out at a yard that seems to have been forgotten? Here are some common scenarios we handle:

  • A tenant move-out that leaves behind knee-high grass, rampant weeds, and piles of leaves.
  • Overgrown hedges blocking pathways and house numbers, risking city notices.
  • Flower beds that are a chaotic mix of weeds, no edges, and lackluster mulch—definitely not what you want for listing photos.
  • The need for before and after photos and a clean invoice for records and deposit returns.

What We Do (Tailored for Rentals & Timelines)

Our cleaning services are specially designed to get your property looking its absolute best—fast:

  • Lawn Reset — We’ll safely trim the grass to a manageable height, creating clean edges along walkways and driveways.
  • Weed-Out & Bed Recovery — We’ll pull weeds and prep the soil, applying a 2–3” layer of mulch for lasting weed suppression.
  • Shrub/Hedge Trim — Our team expertly trims hedges for a neat look, opening up windows and pathways.
  • Leaf, Needle & Debris Removal — We’ll clear all debris from gravel seams, corners, and stair treads.
  • Hardscape Tidy — Our crew will blow and sweep patios and walkways, treating any moss or algae on slick surfaces.
  • Haul-Off — We’ll 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 honest: 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, keeping it manageable throughout the lease.


Add-Ons (Customized for Your Needs)

Need a little extra boost? Check out these add-on services:

  • Sod Patch or Overseeding for those thin areas in the front yard.
  • Gravel Top-Up for muddy bin pads or side yards.
  • 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 property looking pristine all 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 effectively suppress weeds.
  • Lawn Care — Regular mowing, edging, moss checks, and seasonal aeration as needed.
  • 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 fits your needs:

  • Turnover Blitz (24–72 hrs) — Get your property ready for photos and inspections in record time!
  • Bi-Monthly — Perfect for rentals with rapid growth or tree litter.
  • Quarterly — Comprehensive spring and fall clean-ups, plus two tune-ups to keep the property in shape.

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


What Annual Maintenance Includes

Our annual maintenance covers:

  • Bed edge re-cuts and weed control.
  • Sides-and-top hedge trims to keep those 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 saves you money compared to extensive reclamation work.
  • Happier Tenants — Provide safer, cleaner paths and entries.
  • Fewer Notices — Prevent weed and hedge encroachments from building up.

How It Works

Getting started is a breeze:

  1. Free Estimate — Send us your 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 sweat!
  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.
