Spring cleanup after winter
Spring work includes collecting leaves and small branches, clearing debris from planting areas and paths, and noting visible damage from snow and freeze-thaw cycles. We wait for ground and access conditions that support crew movement without rutting soft turf or disturbing wet beds. A sunny slope can dry before a shaded bed. We take care around delicate growth, irrigation lines and new installations. Include tree limbs, surface damage or paths blocked by debris in your request. Tell us which areas need attention and whether landscape repairs or separate tree work should be discussed.
Fall preparation in a short season
Fall cleanup can include leaf removal, cutting back spent annuals, clearing paths, collecting small debris and adding mulch in suitable beds. Irrigation winterization is separate, and it needs to happen before hard freezes. Tell us what should stay for winter interest or plant protection, and identify walks, drains and entry routes that need clearing. Weather, plant types and access affect what can be completed. A late storm can change conditions in beds and on paths.
Different surfaces call for different care
Turf, gravel, boulders, beds, hardscape, shrubs and trees may share one yard. Wet leaves collect in corners and cover paths. A rough pass can disturb mulch, expose roots or damage new shoots, so point out irrigation heads, lighting, edging and fragile plants. We clear debris from beds and paths without treating tree removal or landscape repairs as cleanup. Elevation, shade and late storms also change site conditions. HOA rules differ. Check yours and tell us. Request spring cleanup, fall preparation or both, and name the lawn, beds, paths and other outdoor areas. Photos show access and debris volume; slopes or planting conditions may need an on-site review. We list irrigation startup, mulch, lawn care or pruning separately unless you request them.
