Once the snow melts, most yards in the Valley look worse than they did in November. A good spring cleanup fixes that in one visit and sets up the rest of the season.

What our spring yard cleanup includes

This is a full yard cleanup, not a quick pass with a blower. Here is what we take care of:

Sticks, branches and storm debris picked up from the whole lawn
Matted leaves raked out of the lawn, beds, corners and fence lines
Gravel and plow debris cleared from the lawn along the driveway and walks
Beds cleaned out: old leaves, dead stems and last year's spent plants removed
Perennials and ornamental grasses cut back so new growth comes in clean
Early weeds pulled from the beds by hand
Bed edges and lawn edges cut clean along walks and the driveway
The first mow of the season, at the right height
Driveway, walks, steps and decks blown off so the job looks finished

Brush, branches and yard debris can be hauled away so nothing is left in a pile at the curb.

Every yard is different. A corner lot on a busy plow route has different problems than a backyard under three maples. We look at yours and work out what it really needs.

Plow damage and winter debris along the driveway

In the Mahoning Valley, the edges of the lawn take the worst of the winter. Plows and snow blowers push gravel, cinders and chunks of sod off the driveway and onto the grass. The strip along the street and the walks ends up buried in grit, scraped bare in spots, and ragged at the edge.

We clean all of that up as part of the spring cleanup. We rake the stones and grit back off the lawn, clear out the scraped-up sod and debris, and cut a fresh edge along the driveway and walks. Leaving that grit in place makes the first mows rough on the lawn and the mower, so it comes out first.

When to book spring cleanup in the Valley

The best time is once the snow is gone and the ground has firmed up, before the grass starts growing fast. In Warren that is usually late March into April. Working on a soggy lawn leaves ruts and footprints, so we wait for the ground to dry out enough to walk on.

Do not wait too long. Mowing and mulch demand in our area peaks in April and May, and the schedule fills fast once the first warm weekend hits. If you book your spring cleanup in March, you are on the list before the rush.

What drives the price of a spring cleanup

There is no one price for a spring yard cleanup, because no two yards come out of winter the same. These are the things that set your quote:

Factor	Why it matters
Lot size	More lawn and more beds mean more ground to clear.
How much debris is down	A few sticks is quick. Storm branches and deep leaves take longer.
Number and size of beds	Hand work in beds takes more time than open lawn.
Plow damage	Long driveways and corner lots usually have more grit and edge work.
Was there a fall cleanup	Yards left full of leaves in fall need more work in spring.

Tell us about your yard when you call and we will give you a straight price.

Book mulch and mowing on the same visit

Spring cleanup is the first step, not the last one. Once the beds are cleaned out and edged, they are ready for fresh mulch for your beds. Booking both at once means the mulch goes down on clean, edged beds, and you get a spot before May. If shrubs came through winter overgrown or broken, add shrub and hedge trimming to the same visit.

After the first mow, we can keep going with weekly lawn mowing all season. One crew, one schedule, from the first cut to the last one.

A yard cleanup, not the city's curbside pickup

Many towns in the area run a spring cleanup day for bulk trash at the curb. That is a city service. We are a landscaping company. We clean up your lawn, beds and edges and get the yard ready to grow.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a spring cleanup and what does it include?

A spring cleanup gets your yard out of winter mode and ready to grow. Ours covers sticks, branches and matted leaves cleared from the lawn, gravel and plow debris raked off the lawn along the driveway, beds cleaned out, perennials cut back, early weeds pulled by hand, clean edges along beds, walks and the driveway, and the first mow of the season. We finish by blowing off the hard surfaces so the yard looks finished.

How much does a spring yard cleanup cost?

Spring yard cleanup is priced by the job, so the cost depends on your yard. The biggest factors are lot size, how much debris and leaves came down over winter, how many beds need hand work, how much plow damage there is along the driveway, and whether the yard had a fall cleanup. Call us and we will look at the property and give you a free, clear quote before any work starts.

When should I schedule spring cleanup in Northeast Ohio?

Plan for late March into April, once the snow is gone and the ground has dried out enough to walk on without leaving ruts. That is before the grass starts growing fast, so the cleanup and first mow happen at the right time. Book early. Mowing and mulch demand in the Valley peaks in April and May, and the schedule fills quickly after the first warm weekend.

Can you clean up plow damage along my driveway?

Yes. Plow damage along the driveway and walks is one of the most common things we clean up in the spring. We rake the gravel, cinders and grit back off the lawn, clear out the chunks of sod and debris the plow pushed onto the grass, and cut a fresh, clean edge along the driveway. Getting that grit out early also protects the lawn and the mower on the first few mows.

Do you put down mulch during a spring cleanup?

Mulch is its own service, but it fits right after a spring cleanup. The cleanup clears the beds and cuts the edges, which is exactly what the beds need before fresh mulch goes down. Most homeowners book both at once so the mulch goes on clean beds and they get a spot before the May rush. Ask about mulch when you call for your cleanup quote.

Is this the same as the city's spring cleanup day?

No. Many towns run a spring cleanup day where residents put bulk trash and large items at the curb, and that is a city service. Our spring cleanup is a landscaping service for your yard. We clear debris and leaves, clean out the beds, edge, and give the lawn its first mow. For curbside bulk pickup dates and rules, check with your city or township.
