Des Moines - Fall Landscape and Bed Clean-Up

As the vibrant colors of fall begin to fade, homeowners in Des Moines face the essential task of preparing their landscapes for the winter months. A thorough fall landscape and bed clean-up not only enhances the curb appeal of your property but also promotes the health of your garden for the upcoming spring. With the right approach, you can ensure that your outdoor space remains beautiful and well-maintained, even through the cold months.


Our Approach

At Neat & Tidy, we believe in taking a comprehensive and thoughtful approach to fall clean-up. Here’s how we tackle this important task:

  • Assessment: We start by evaluating the current state of your landscape and garden beds. This step helps us identify what needs to be cleaned, pruned, or removed.

  • Debris Removal: We clear away fallen leaves, branches, and other organic debris that can suffocate your plants and create a breeding ground for pests.

  • Weed Control: Removing weeds in the fall prevents them from spreading and competing with your plants in the spring.

  • Pruning: We carefully prune perennials, shrubs, and trees to remove dead or diseased branches, ensuring healthy growth in the spring.

We’re a low-maintenance landscaping crew. Our goal is fewer problems between visits and less work for you.


Service Cadences

To best meet your landscaping needs, we offer flexible service cadences:

  • Quarterly: A deep clean in spring and fall, plus two tune-ups during the growing season to keep your landscape thriving.

  • Bi-Monthly: Ideal for most yards, this schedule provides balanced care to maintain appearance and health.

  • Monthly: Perfect for high-visibility properties and rentals, ensuring your landscape always looks its best.


What’s Included

Our fall landscape and bed clean-up service includes:

  • Leaf Removal: Collecting and disposing of fallen leaves to prevent lawn smothering and disease.

  • Weed Removal: Hand-pulling or applying organic weed control methods to keep your beds tidy.

  • Pruning: Trimming back perennials and shrubs to prepare them for winter.

  • Mulching: Adding a fresh layer of mulch to protect plants and improve soil quality.

  • Debris Hauling: Disposing of all organic waste, leaving your property clean and ready for winter.


Why It Matters

A thorough fall clean-up is crucial for several reasons:

  • Safety: Removing debris reduces the risk of slipping or tripping hazards in your yard.

  • Curb Appeal: A well-maintained landscape enhances the overall appearance of your property, making it more inviting.

  • Drainage Improvement: Clearing leaves and debris helps prevent water pooling, which can lead to flooding or root rot.

  • Maintenance Savings: Investing in a fall clean-up now can reduce the need for extensive spring work, saving you time and money.
