Spring is here in Michigan, and that means it’s time for cleaning. Your lawn and landscape will benefit greatly from a spring cleanup service this year. Not only will this service go a long way to increase your curb appeal, but it will also provide your grass and landscape plants with so many benefits to help them out during the growing season. When considering a company that offers a spring cleanup service or package, there are four distinct tasks that you should look out for so that your property will look its best once everything is said and done. The ideal spring cleanup service should include plant pruning, debris and leaf removal from your landscape beds, debris and leaf removal from your lawn, as well as mowing and edging. All these tasks combined will ensure your lawn and landscape beds will be well prepared for the growing season that lies ahead.

1. Selective Plant Pruning

A good spring cleanup service will include selective plant pruning as part of it. Plant pruning is crucial because dead foliage will need to be removed to make room for new leaves to grow. Not only will this maintain the aesthetic of your landscape, but it does wonders for the health and longevity of your plants!

Not all plants can be pruned in the spring, so make sure your landscaping company takes this into account before they break out the shears!

2. Removing Debris & Leaves from Your Landscape Beds

You'll want to make sure that the landscaping company you choose to perform your spring cleanup will remove any excess debris and leaves from your landscape beds. Debris and clutter will block essential resources like sunlight and water from reaching the roots of your plants, which can make them more susceptible to pests and diseases. When the cleanup service includes landscape bed debris and leaf removal, then your plants will be able to get the resources they need so they can thrive during the spring season.

3. Removing Debris & Leaves from Your Lawn

In addition to cleaning up your landscape beds, a good spring cleanup service should also include debris and leaf removal from your lawn. Much like the plants in your landscape beds, your grass will also be negatively affected by any excess debris scattered across your lawn. The debris and leaves will keep your grass from getting the resources it needs to recover and grow after winter dormancy. Leaving clutter on your lawn also invites pests to it because they’ll use those leaves as shelter from the sun. To increase your curb appeal and maintain the health of your grass, make sure that leaves and debris are removed from your lawn!

4. Mowing & Edging

Mowing and edging your lawn is the fourth task that should be included in your spring cleanup service. A fresh, manicured lawn is exactly what you need to complete the whole spring cleanup package. Freshly trimmed grass goes a long way to increase your curb appeal, and it keeps your grass in a healthy state. The mowing service should also include edging to trim those areas that are hard for a mower to reach, such as the edges around a patio or other hardscapes.
