Fall & Spring Cleanup
The twice-a-year property reset: cut-backs, leaf removal, debris haul, and bed prep so your landscape starts each season strong.
Spring and fall are the two visits that carry the rest of the year. Fall cleanup pulls leaves, cuts back perennials, removes late-season growth, and prepares beds for winter. Spring cleanup removes what winter left behind, matted leaves, storm debris, dead perennial stalks, and gets beds ready for mulch and new growth.
Miss either one and you spend the next several months fighting the results. A yard that didn't get a fall cleanup enters spring covered in soggy leaves that smother emerging plants and beds. A yard that didn't get a spring cleanup enters summer with weeds already established and mulch sitting on top of last year's debris.
Book both and the property looks kept year-round with dramatically less effort in between. The recurring maintenance visits become a lot lighter because they're maintaining a clean starting point, not fighting from behind.
Timing matters. Fall cleanups run late October through December, we schedule around the leaf drop peak for your area. Spring cleanups run late March through May, early enough to prep beds before growth explodes.
The details that matter.
Full leaf removal
Leaves cleared out of beds, lawn, and hardscape, hauled off-site, not just blown to the property line where they blow back next windstorm.
Perennial cut-backs
Late-season growth cut to the right height so plants come back cleanly. Different heights for different species, we know what wants what.
Bed debris pull
Sticks, dead annuals, spent mulch chunks, and storm debris removed before mulch or new plantings go in.
Hardscape blow-down
Walks, patios, and driveways cleared at the end of every visit.
Ornamental grass cut-back
Grasses cut in fall or early spring based on species and how you want the winter interest to read.
Bed edging refresh
Bed edges recut where the line has softened over the season, sets up mulch install perfectly.
Gutter debris (add-on)
First-floor gutters cleared as an add-on to fall cleanup when we're already on-site with the equipment.
Winter prep for tender plants
Wrapping, staking, and mulch-mounding on species that need it before hard freeze.

Beds cleared and cut back before we touch the lawn so nothing gets blown back into finished areas.
- 04 · Haul-away included
Debris hauled off-site to a commercial composting facility so nothing sits on your property waiting for pickup.
- 05 · Walk-through
Final walk with you before we leave to catch anything missed.
Frequently asked questions.
Can I book just one season?+
Yes, either standalone is fine, though bundling both usually saves per-visit cost.
Do you compost or haul?+
All debris is hauled off-site to a commercial composting facility. Nothing gets dumped in a wooded corner of your lot.
How is it priced?+
Per visit, based on lot size and canopy, leaf-heavy properties are quoted higher because they take longer and haul more volume.
When should I book fall cleanup?+
The best window is late October through early December, timed to just after your peak leaf drop. We book slots in September for the busiest weeks.
When should I book spring cleanup?+
Late March through mid-May depending on your area. Booking in February secures the best slots.
Will you mulch after spring cleanup?+
Yes, spring cleanup followed by same-day or next-week mulch install is one of our most-requested bundles.
Do you clean gutters?+
First-floor gutters as an add-on during fall cleanup. Second-story or complex roofs we refer to a specialist.
