Seasonal Property Cleanups
Both residential and commercial properties benefit from seasonal cleanups. A clean exterior means that customers, guests, or local authorities will get a good first impression. Spring and fall yard maintenance also means that your lawn, garden beds, trees and shrubs will be well cared for and ready for whatever the next season brings.
Certain times of the year your landscape will naturally require more maintenance than others. There’s no need to spend your precious downtime raking, trimming, and digging–rely on your lawn care company to get your property looking smart, any time of year.

Spring Cleanup and Lawn Maintenance
Long before summer blooms are in full swing, snow begins to melt, bees begin to emerge, and birdsong fills the air. Late winter is the ideal time to begin planning for a seasonal spring cleanup, which can be scheduled for anytime in March, April, or May. This timeframe will allow our landscapers to spruce things up once winter’s worst has passed and summer’s heat is still in the future. Well-timed spring cleanup and maintenance will promote stronger plant growth, better flowering, and overall garden and lawn health.
Some regular landscaping services handled in spring include the following.
Debris Pickup
From lingering leaves, pine needles and stray twigs or branches, to last-year’s growth on perennials, we will remove excess material, allowing for healthy plant growth and easy property use.
Pruning and Trimming
To promote stronger growth our landscapers can prune shrubs and trees to remove old, spent stems. If plants have sustained winter damage or dieback, spring is the best time to remove compromised branches and to cut back any growth that is encroaching on walkways or high-traffic areas.
Weed Eradication
As weeds begin to wake up, we can pull them or use targeted herbicides to stop them in their tracks, promoting garden health and preventing them from spreading.
Plant Removal
If a plant in your garden was killed over winter or you’d simply like it to be gone, we will remove it along with any remaining debris.
Edging beds
Over winter and early spring, the crisp lines of planting beds and tree circles can be eroded. A fresh deep edging keeps grass from intruding and is the perfect step before mulching and seasonal lawn care.
Lawn Repair
Standing water over the winter season, pet damage, or an overabundance of crabgrass and other lawn weeds can leave your grass looking rough. A spring aeration, over-seeding, and fertilization will get it off on the right foot.
Hedge Trimming
Depending on the type of hedge, spring pruning might be best. Our South Cleveland landscapers will work with you to settle on the ideal time of year.
Some of the benefits to removing excess plant debris include eliminating habitats for unwanted pests and insects, and allowing air, sun, and water to reach your plants. Removing old foliage from diseased plants can also prevent the perpetuation of plant illnesses, setting your garden up for a healthy start at the beginning of the season.
Fall Cleanup and Lawn Maintenance
As days start to shorten and migrating birds start to fly south, you know that colder days are ahead. Leaves will be falling soon, and there will be plenty of garden maintenance to tackle. Let our team of landscapers handle these difficult chores for you so that you can savor the beauty of the season.
Late summer or very early fall is the best time to start thinking about a fall cleanup. Once you’re thinking about it, give your local landscaping company a call to schedule seasonal maintenance, anytime during October or November. Once a good part of the leaves have fallen and the first frost hits–usually sometime in October–the cleanup season starts in earnest and it can be difficult to fit new requests into our busy schedule.
Some typical lawn care services our landscapers will handle in fall include the following.
Leaf Cleanup
Collection and removal of leaves accumulated on the lawn, walkways, hardscaping and decks, garden beds, tree rings and guttering. We may use manual means, like raking, or mechanical means, like blowers and other machinery.
Pruning and Trimming
Our landscapers can prune shrubs and trees to remove old, spent stems, dead material, and branches that might pose a problem if weighed down by snow or ice. We will also cut back new growth that is encroaching on walkways or high-traffic areas and could cause safety concerns.
Lawn Repair
A hot, dry summer and heavy use takes its toll on a lawn. Fall is the ideal time to dethatch, aerate, and overseed your grass.
Weed Prevention and Fertilization
We will apply winterizing fertilizers and targeted broadleaf herbicides to ensure that your lawn isn’t competing with weeds when it puts on new growth in the spring.
Plant Removal
If annual plants in your garden are finished for the season, a plant died over the summer, or you would simply like one or more plants removed, we will take them away along with any remaining debris.
Plant Protection
Cold winter winds, hungry browsing deer, and heavy snow loads can wreak havoc on certain evergreen shrubs and trees. Wrapping in burlap protects plants from winter’s worst.
Hedge Trimming
Depending on the type of hedge, fall pruning might be best. Our landscapers will work with you to settle on the ideal time of year.
