Ballard Annual Yard Maintenance & Clean-Up Services

Set It and Forget It

Want your yard to look fantastic all year round without sacrificing weekends? At Neat & Tidy, we specialize in maintaining Ballard properties effortlessly. Our routine visits prevent overgrowth, manage leaf and needle buildup, and keep your garden beds looking sharp.


What’s the Problem?

  • Leaf mats & pine needles suffocating your grass and flower beds
  • Invasive plants like blackberry, ivy, and bamboo creeping back in
  • Slippery walkways & clogged drains after those rainy Ballard days
  • Overgrown shrubs and tree limbs blocking views or rubbing against your siding
  • Busy lifestyle or tight driveways with no time to spare—we’ve got you covered!

Our Annual Maintenance Plan

Here’s how we keep your yard in top shape:

  • Quick Assessment & Schedule — We’ll conduct an on-site visit or review your photos to set up your maintenance frequency. Expect this to take about 30 minutes.
  • Clear & Sort Every Visit — We start by removing leaves, needles, brush, and debris to create a clean foundation. This typically takes 1-2 hours, depending on your yard’s size.
  • Root-Level Weeding — We target the roots to slow the regrowth of pesky weeds, using tools like hand trowels and weeders.
  • Selective Pruning — We trim your shrubs and trees for health and visibility, ensuring no limbs hang too low.
  • Edge & Re-Shape Beds — Crisp lines and clean borders enhance your garden’s aesthetics.
  • Mulch or Gravel Top-Up (as needed) — We apply a 2–3” layer for weed suppression and moisture retention, using high-quality organic mulch or decorative gravel.
  • Lawn Refresh (optional) — Seasonal aeration plus mowing and edging for a lush lawn.
  • Eco-Friendly Haul-Off — We compost and recycle debris at approved facilities, reducing landfill waste.
  • Final Clean — We blow off patios, walks, and driveways so everything looks neat and tidy.

We’re all about low-maintenance landscaping. Our goal is to minimize your workload while keeping your yard healthy between visits.


Service Cadences

Choose the frequency that suits your property best:

  • Quarterly — A comprehensive spring/fall deep clean with two additional tune-ups, ideal for most Ballard homeowners.
  • Bi-Monthly — A great balance for properties needing moderate upkeep.
  • Monthly — Perfect for yards with heavy leaf drop or rapid growth, especially during the fall.

What Annual Maintenance Includes

  • Leaf & Needle Removal from lawns, flower beds, and hardscapes
  • Invasive Control: We tackle blackberry, English ivy, bamboo, and more
  • Pruning & Brush Clearing: Keeping hedges and small trees safe and well-maintained
  • Bed Reset: Edging, shape corrections, and thorough soil-surface cleanup
  • Mulch or Gravel (optional): Neat coverage with tidy borders
  • Lawn Options (optional): Aeration, mowing, and edging for healthier turf
  • Debris Handling: Responsible loading, haul-away, and disposal

(Concrete, lumber, or hazardous materials are priced and handled separately.)


Why Annual Maintenance Matters

Keeping your yard in shape has plenty of benefits:

  • Prevents matted leaves that can harbor pests
  • Reduces slip hazards and keeps drains and gutters clear
