Why do I need a Fall Cleanup??
Fall cleanup is a combination of maintenance tasks that help your lawn or gardens look their best and prepare for the winter months. If you do a Fall cleanup, it will make your Spring yard work much easier and help your lawn grow new grass. Need reasons why, check out below!
Prevent Disease. When removing sticks, leaves, or other debris that falls during the cooler months it will prevent mold, fungus, or other disease that can attack your lawn or garden beds from growing. By removing in the Fall, versus waiting for the Spring it can help prevent these diseases or pest from attacking early in the year!
Protect your Plants. When performing a cleanup in the Fall months, it will help protect your plants from winter harshness, or pest infestations. As an example, if your plants have decayed wood on them that needs trimmed off, it will prevent further damage from snow or prevent a home for pests to survive throughout the winter.

Why do I need a Spring Cleanup?
Spring cleanups are a way to help your lawn or garden beds look better, grow healthier, and prepare for the upcoming season. If a cleanup was not performed in the fall, then a cleanup in the Spring is crucial for the health of your lawn and garden beds.
Remove Debris. All downed sticks, dead leaves, twigs, branches, and other debris needs to be removed that accumulated over the winter.
Prevent Weeds. Spring cleanups can play a huge role in preventing weed growth during the upcoming months, or allow native plants that were covered up grow happily with sunlight. If you're performing your cleanup early enough in the season, then applying pre-emergent herbicide when you mulch can play a HUGE factor in weed control.
