Mercer Island Spring Yard Clean-Ups Services

Hey there, Mercer Island! Winter has left its mark—leaves are strewn everywhere, perennials are a bit worse for wear, and moss is thriving like it owns the place. But don’t worry! Our awesome team at Neat & Tidy Landscaping is here to revitalize your yard—making it not just tidy but truly vibrant as we welcome spring.


What’s the Problem?

  • Leaf and needle mats are choking your lawn and flower beds.
  • Moss and thatch are stealing your lawn’s lively look.
  • Flower beds are undefined—with no edges, thin mulch, and overrun by pesky weeds.
  • Shrubs and perennials have flopped over, blocking pathways, windows, or even your house numbers!

Our Spring Clean-Up Plan (Mercer Island-Proof)

Here’s how we’ll whip your yard into shape for the blooming season:

  • Leaf & Needle Removal — We’ll clear away all debris from lawns, flower beds, gravel seams, and hardscapes (and yes, we’ll haul it all away!).
  • Bed Edge Re-Cut — We create sharp, defined edges so your flower beds look fresh and tidy all season long.
  • Weed-Out + Pre-Emergent Treatment — We’ll stop those pesky weed seeds before they even think about sprouting!
  • Shrub Shaping & Perennial Cutbacks — We ensure your plants are trimmed just right for optimal blooming.
  • Mulch Refresh — We apply 2–3 inches of fresh mulch, keeping it pulled back from trunks and siding for healthy growth.
  • Lawn Jump-Start — Your first mow and edge of the season, plus options for moss treatments, dethatching/power raking, and core aeration.
  • Optional Compost Top-Dress — A nutrient-rich layer to nourish your soil and promote healthier growth.
  • Irrigation Start-Up — We’ll check your timer, fix any quick issues, and set a seasonal watering schedule.
  • Hardscape Tidy-Up — We blow and sweep pathways, tackling any slick algae on entries!

Let’s be real: a spring reset without proper edges and mulch is just a tidy mess waiting to happen.


Optional Add-Ons

  • Overseeding for those bald spots in your lawn after dethatching or aeration.
  • Gravel Top-Up to keep those muddy side yards and bin pads looking sharp.
  • Paver Re-Sand for joints that lost material over the winter.
  • Pressure Washing for small entries or steps that have become a slip hazard.

Our Annual Maintenance Plan

Want to keep your yard looking fabulous year-round? Our comprehensive annual maintenance plan has you covered:

  • Weed Suppression — Regular hand-weeding and targeted pre-emergent treatments to keep those invaders at bay.
  • Mulch Management — We’ll maintain that 2–3 inches of coverage and top up thin spots as needed.
  • Pruning Calendar — We trim shrubs at just the right times for blooming and bird nesting.
  • Lawn Care — We focus on proper mowing heights, seasonal moss control, and aeration when needed.
  • Edges & Lines — Regular re-edging of beds ensures crisp paths and driveways.

We’re your low-maintenance landscaping team, dedicated to solving problems between visits and minimizing your workload.


Service Cadences

  • Quarterly — Enjoy seasonal deep cleans in spring and fall, plus two tune-ups in between.
  • Bi-Monthly — Perfect for fast-growing gardens, areas with heavy tree litter, or high-visibility fronts.

(If you’re starting fresh or battling heavy weeds, consider monthly visits for the first 60–90 days, then taper off.)


What Annual Maintenance Includes

  • Bed edge re-cuts and debris haul-off.
  • Targeted weed control and invasive plant management.
  • Mulch top-ups and soil health improvements.
  • Seasonal shrub shaping and perennial care.
  • Lawn edges, quick health checks, and irrigation adjustments.

Why Annual Maintenance Matters

  • Fewer Weeds — Keeping soil covered with mulch and timing our treatments effectively beats the seed bank.
  • Healthier Plants — The right cuts at the right times lead to fewer pest issues and robust growth.
  • Better Soil — A combination of compost and mulch helps save water and strengthens root systems.
  • Curb Appeal — Clean lines look great and withstand Mercer Island’s unpredictable weather.
