Indiana winters leave a mess behind. Matted leaves that didn't get picked up in fall. Dead perennial stems still standing from last year. Branches that came down in ice storms. Landscape beds with edges that have disappeared into the turf.
Our spring cleanup service gets all of that cleared out so your property is ready for the growing season. Think of it as the reset button for your yard. Everything after this point, from the first mow to the first fertilizer application, works better on a clean starting surface.
We work through the property systematically so nothing gets missed.
We clear all leaves, sticks, branches, and accumulated debris from the lawn surface. Matted leaves left over winter smother grass, block sunlight, and create ideal conditions for fungal disease. Getting them off early lets the turf breathe and green up faster.
Beds get cleaned out thoroughly. Dead annual remnants from last season, fallen leaves trapped in shrubs, broken branches, and any accumulated debris. We cut back dead perennial growth to make room for new spring growth.
Over winter, the lines between your lawn and landscape beds soften as grass creeps in and edges blur. We recut crisp, clean edges along every bed, giving your landscape definition again. This one step alone makes a huge visual difference.
Every sidewalk, driveway, and patio gets blown clean. All debris is loaded and hauled off the property. You're left with a yard that looks like winter never happened.
Most of our spring cleanup customers don't stop at the cleanup. Once your property is clean, the natural next steps become obvious:
Fresh mulch. Beds look bare after clearing. A fresh 2-3 inch layer of mulch or rock completes the look and starts suppressing weeds before they emerge.
First fertilizer round. Spring is when your pre-emergent weed control needs to go down, timed to soil temperature. Schedule it with or right after your cleanup.
Weekly mowing. With the cleanup done, your lawn is ready for the first mow of the season. We start regular service in mid-April and run through November.
We can plan all of this during your spring cleanup estimate. One visit, one conversation, and your property has a plan through fall.
Our spring cleanup includes removing leaves and winter debris from the lawn and landscape beds, cutting back dead perennial growth, edging all landscape beds, clearing branches and sticks, blowing off sidewalks and driveways, and hauling everything away. Your property is left clean and ready for the first mow of the season.
Late March through mid-April is the ideal window in Hamilton County. The ground needs to be firm enough to work on but you want the cleanup done before the growing season starts and before your first mow. We recommend scheduling early because spring is our busiest booking period.
Before. The spring cleanup clears debris that would interfere with mowing, edges beds that have lost their definition over winter, and removes matted leaves that are smothering the grass. Starting the mowing season on a clean property gives your lawn the best chance to come back strong.
Absolutely. Most customers pair a spring cleanup with fresh mulch installation and their first round of fertilization. We can also assess your landscape beds during the cleanup and recommend any plantings or renovations that would improve your property for the season.
