Step-by-Step Guide to a Full Yard Clean-Up

A full yard clean-up can seem like a daunting task, but it’s essential for maintaining the health and appearance of your outdoor space. This guide will walk you through the practical steps to achieve a clean, tidy yard that enhances curb appeal, improves drainage, and ultimately saves you on maintenance costs. Whether you’re prepping for a special occasion or just want to keep your property looking its best, this step-by-step approach will help you tackle the job effectively.


Our Approach

  • Assessment: We start by evaluating your yard’s condition to identify problem areas.
  • Prioritization: We focus on the most critical tasks first, ensuring efficiency.
  • Execution: Our team uses professional techniques and tools to ensure a thorough clean-up.
  • Maintenance Tips: We provide guidance on how to keep your yard looking great between visits.

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


Service Cadences

  • Quarterly: Comprehensive spring/fall deep clean with two additional tune-ups to maintain health and aesthetics.
  • Bi-Monthly: Ideal for most yards, providing consistent care and upkeep.
  • Monthly: Perfect for high-visibility properties and rentals, ensuring your space always looks its best.

What’s Included

  1. Debris Removal: Clearing leaves, branches, and other debris from your yard.
  2. Weed Control: Identifying and removing weeds to promote healthy plant growth.
  3. Pruning and Trimming: Shaping shrubs and trees to maintain their health and appearance.
  4. Mulching: Applying fresh mulch to flower beds to suppress weeds and retain moisture.
  5. Lawn Care: Mowing, edging, and aerating the lawn for a lush, green appearance.

Why It Matters

  • Safety: Removing debris reduces hazards that could cause accidents.
  • Curb Appeal: A clean yard enhances the overall look of your property, making it more inviting.
  • Drainage: Clearing out gutters and yard debris helps prevent water pooling, which can lead to erosion and plant damage.
  • Maintenance Savings: Regular clean-ups reduce the risk of larger, more costly issues down the line.

How It Works

  1. Quick Estimate: We provide a clear, upfront estimate based on photos, videos, or an onsite assessment.
  2. Set Your Schedule: Choose from quarterly, bi-monthly, or monthly service options that fit your needs.
  3. Service Day: Our team arrives prepared to clear, prune, and edge your yard, with optional mulch or gravel refresh available.
  4. Follow-Up: After service, we offer simple care tips to help you maintain your yard and suggest easy add-ons for ongoing improvement.
