During these cleanups, professionals perform services that can help prepare your lawn to enter winter dormancy and then help it get a start to the growing season come spring.

A fall cleanup service can help prepare your lawn for winter.

Seasonal changes in winter can be detrimental to your lawn's health, meaning your lawn should enter winter in elite shape. Scheduling a fall cleanup service can accomplish this. The service helps fortify your turf against environmental stressors and even beautifies it for the holiday season.

During a fall cleanup, companies perform several services that can equip your turf for winter. Here are a few typical services included during a fall cleanup and why each can help:

  • Leaf removal: During a leaf removal service, professionals get rid of leaf piles on your lawn. If left, leaves can create dark, moist areas that weaken your turf by attracting pests, providing the ideal environment for lawn disease, and smothering your grass.
  • Debris removal: Twigs, dead branches, and other small debris on your lawn can attract pests, encourage lawn diseases, and prevent resources from reaching your turf, weakening your lawn before wintertime.
  • Lawn mowing: Although your grass will stop growing in the winter, the last mow of the year is integral to maintaining a healthy and well-kept lawn in the wintertime.
  • String-trimming and blowing: After mowing, professionals cut grass in hard-to-reach areas and blow away any debris left on sidewalks, driveways, and other hardscapes to beautify your property.

Fall cleanup services get booked quickly, so make sure to schedule early!

A spring cleanup service can prepare your lawn to grow green and strong.

After the snow melts and winter disappears, spring rounds the corner and begins! During spring, your lawn is preparing to grow. Your plants are getting ready to blossom, and your grass is itching to bounce back! A spring cleanup service can assist your lawn during the growing season by ridding it of debris and helping it recover after winter.

There are multiple services included during a spring cleanup — here are a few that are typically performed:

  • Debris removal: During winter, leaves and debris can fall on your lawn and block sunlight, water, and nutrients from reaching your turf. A spring cleanup service can rid your lawn of these harmful materials and increase your property's curb appeal.
  • Lawn mowing: When spring begins, you'll want the first mow of the season to happen. Mowing your lawn promotes growth, increases your property's curb appeal, and enhances your turf's health.
  • String-trimming and blowing: Before finishing, professionals will even your lawn by cutting grass in hard-to-reach areas. Then, they will blow away any grass cuttings, dirt, and debris left on hardscapes.

Add-on services like power raking, aeration, and overseeding can drastically increase your lawn's growth and health this upcoming spring!
