Remove winter debris, prepare beds, and refresh your property for the growing season. Professional spring cleanup gets your Columbia lawn ready to thrive.
Get FREE EstimateWinter leaves behind accumulations of sticks, dead leaves, matted grass, and general wear. This debris suffocates grass and prevents new growth.
Spring cleanup clears everything away, revealing healthy grass underneath and preparing beds for new plantings and mulch.
It's the foundation that allows spring fertilization, aeration, and other treatments to work effectively.
Complete property preparation for the growing season—everything needed for a fresh start:
Clear sticks, dead leaves, and accumulated debris from lawns, beds, and hardscapes left behind by winter weather.
Cut back ornamental grasses and perennials left standing for winter interest, preparing beds for new growth.
Remove dead plant material, clear beds completely, and prepare for fresh mulch application and new plantings.
Re-establish clean edges between lawn and beds, creating crisp borders that define your landscape professionally.
Initial mowing at proper spring height removes winter-damaged blade tips and encourages healthy new growth.
All materials removed from your Columbia property—no piles, no bags, no work left for you to finish.
Spring cleanup is perfectly timed to coordinate with other essential spring services for maximum effectiveness.
Spring Fertilization: First application with pre-emergent crabgrass control works best on clean lawns.
Core Aeration: Relieve soil compaction and improve root growth without debris interference.
Fresh Mulch: Clean beds ensure mulch looks pristine and weed barrier is effective.
New Plantings: Prepared beds make perfect environments for perennials and annuals to establish.
Skipping spring cleanup means fertilizer sits on debris instead of reaching soil, aeration plugs mix with dead material instead of improving soil, and mulch covers mess instead of creating a clean look. Cleanup first = better results from everything else.
Removes matted debris that suffocates grass, allowing sunlight and air to reach new growth immediately.
Clean lawns warm faster in spring sun and green up 1-2 weeks earlier than debris-covered lawns.
Removes overwintered disease spores and pest habitats that would infect new spring growth.
Fresh, clean properties look cared-for and attractive immediately rather than tired and winter-worn.
Fertilization, aeration, seeding, and mulching all work better on clean, debris-free lawns and beds.

Many Columbia homeowners bundle spring cleanup with fertilization, aeration, and mulch installation for comprehensive spring service at package pricing. One call schedules everything—your property gets complete spring preparation without multiple scheduling headaches.
Optimal timing is March to early April in Howard County—after winter weather ends but before aggressive spring growth begins. This allows cleanup before grass greens up rapidly. Schedule early as our calendar fills quickly once growing season starts. Many customers book in January-February to secure preferred dates.
Certainly, but it's exhausting work. Average property takes 8-12 hours of manual labor plus disposal logistics. Professional crews complete the same work in 2-3 hours with commercial equipment and handle all hauling. Most homeowners find professional service worth the cost when time and physical effort are considered.
No—cleanup before green-up is ideal. Removing debris allows grass to receive full sunlight and warm faster, actually accelerating green-up by 1-2 weeks. Waiting until grass is fully green means working around active growth and potentially damaging tender new blades.
We monitor weather and reschedule if needed. Spring cleanup requires relatively dry conditions—working on saturated ground causes soil compaction and muddy messes. We'll contact you if weather forces rescheduling and get you back on the calendar quickly when conditions improve.
Yes! Spring cleanup removes all accumulated debris including late-falling leaves, winter sticks and branches, and any material that accumulated since last fall. It's a fresh start regardless of what winter left behind on your Columbia property.
