🍂 Best Time of Year to Clean Up Your Yard

Keeping your yard clean and well-maintained isn’t just about appearances—it’s about protecting your property, boosting curb appeal, and saving yourself time and stress later on.

But when is the best time to clean up your yard?

Let’s break it down by season, so you know when to handle it yourself—or when to call in the pros.

🌸 Spring Yard Cleanup

Spring is the most popular time for a full yard cleanup—and for good reason.After months of rain, cold, and wind, your lawn, bushes, and flower beds are usually left in rough shape.

Key spring cleanup tasks:

• Raking leaves and debris

• Removing weeds before they spread

• Trimming bushes and hedges

• Mowing and edging for the first time of the season

• Cleaning out garden beds

• Hauling away branches or junk

Doing this early helps your yard grow back stronger and prevents pests or weeds from taking over.

✅ Pro Tip: Booking a spring cleanup in early March or April helps get ahead of the overgrowth and lets your lawn thrive all summer.

🍁 Fall Yard Cleanup

Fall is all about prepping your yard for winter.If you skip it, you’ll likely face a tougher job in the spring.

Key fall tasks:

• Leaf removal (especially if you have trees)

• Cutting down dying plants or overgrowth

• Final mowing and edging

• Clearing gutters and drains

• Removing leftover yard debris and trash

Fall cleanups help prevent mold, rot, and flooding during winter storms.

☀️ Summer or Anytime Cleanups

Sometimes your yard just gets away from you—no matter the season.

That’s where anytime cleanups come in. Whether you just moved in, haven’t had time to keep up, or got overwhelmed after a storm, it’s never too late to bring your yard back under control.
