Spring cleanup
Give the lawn a clean start to the season.
Winter leaves behind matted leaves, snapped branches, and salt-crusted edges. We clear the debris, re-cut the beds, and set the lawn up so it greens up faster and grows evenly all season.
In short
Spring cleanup clears the debris, matted leaves, and winter mess off the lawn and out of the beds, edges the borders, and gives the lawn its first cut at the right height. It sets the lawn up to green up faster and grow evenly through the season.
- Best window in the east metro: once the snow is gone and the ground firms up, before mowing starts
- Full property debris and leftover-leaf removal, plus bed edging and detail
- Debris is hauled away, not piled at the curb
- Pairs naturally with a first fertilizer step and core aeration
- Optional first mow and bed mulch at the same visit
A Minnesota winter is hard on a lawn. Snow mold mats down the grass, branches and debris pile up, and the leaves you missed in fall reappear once the snow melts. A good spring cleanup pulls all of that off the lawn so sunlight and air reach the crowns again, which is exactly what the grass needs to wake up and green up evenly instead of in patches.
What's included
A complete spring reset, not just a quick rake.
Every cleanup clears the whole property and sets the lawn up for a strong, even start.
Debris & leftover-leaf removal
The leaves, sticks, and debris winter left behind, cleared off the lawn and out of the beds.
Bed edging & detail
Beds re-cut and edged so borders look sharp heading into the growing season.
First cut at the right height
An optional first mow to wake the lawn up cleanly and set the season's cut height.
Haul-away included
Debris is removed from the property, not piled at the curb.
Timing
We start once the ground firms up.
Too early and you're walking on soft, wet turf and doing more harm than good. We watch the melt and the forecast and schedule your cleanup once the ground has firmed, so the lawn gets cleared right before it starts actively growing.
- Reminder text the day before service
- Optional first mow and bed mulch at the same visit
- Easy to bundle with your fertilizer program

Frequently asked
Common spring cleanup questions.
How timing, pricing, and add-ons work for your spring visit.
When is the best time for spring cleanup?
Once the snow is gone and the ground has firmed up, usually April into early May in the east metro. We time it so the lawn is cleared right before it starts actively growing, and we won't work soft, saturated turf that would rut.
Is the first mow included?
It can be. A spring cleanup is about clearing debris and edging beds; a first mow is an easy add-on at the same visit if the lawn is ready for it. We'll tell you honestly whether it needs one yet when we quote.
How is spring cleanup priced?
Per property, based on lot size and how much debris the winter left behind. We send a flat all-in price after a quick look so you know exactly what you're committing to.
