Preparing Your Yard for Spring: Clean-Up Checklist

As winter fades and spring approaches, it’s time to think about reviving your yard. A thorough spring clean-up not only enhances your property’s curb appeal but also sets the stage for healthy growth throughout the season. Proper preparation can prevent future headaches, ensuring your landscape thrives while reducing maintenance efforts down the line. So, what should you focus on during this essential clean-up? Let’s break it down into actionable steps.

Our Approach

Our approach to spring yard clean-up is straightforward and efficient. Here’s how we tackle it:

  • Assessment: We evaluate the yard’s condition after winter to identify areas needing attention.
  • Debris Removal: We clear away leaves, branches, and other debris that have accumulated.
  • Pruning: We trim back dead or overgrown plants to promote healthy growth.
  • Soil Preparation: We prepare the soil for planting by aerating and adding nutrients.

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

Service Cadences

To keep your yard in top shape, consider the following service options:

  • Quarterly: Spring and fall deep clean plus two tune-ups to maintain health.
  • Bi-Monthly: Balanced care for most yards, perfect for moderate upkeep.
  • Monthly: Ideal for high-visibility properties and rentals, ensuring pristine conditions.

What’s Included

When you choose our services, you can expect the following:

  • Debris Removal: Comprehensive clean-up of leaves, branches, and litter.
  • Pruning and Trimming: Careful shaping of bushes and trees for optimal health.
  • Weed Control: Removal of weeds to give your plants a fighting chance.
  • Mulching: Refreshing or adding mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
  • Soil Aeration: Improving soil structure for better drainage and root growth.

Why It Matters

A spring clean-up is essential for several reasons:

  • Safety: Removing debris minimizes hazards, such as slipping or tripping.
  • Curb Appeal: A tidy yard enhances the overall appearance of your home, making it more inviting.
  • Drainage: Clearing away leaves and debris helps prevent water accumulation and promotes healthy drainage.
  • Maintenance Savings: A well-maintained yard requires less effort and fewer resources as the season progresses.

Here’s a step-by-step process of how we manage your yard’s spring clean-up:

  1. Quick Estimate: We provide a clear estimate based on photos, videos, or an onsite assessment. You’ll receive upfront pricing with no hidden fees.
  2. Set Your Schedule: Choose a maintenance schedule that best fits your needs—quarterly, bi-monthly, or monthly.
