The job

Winter packs oak leaves into the beds, plus broken branches and a lawn that never really dried out. We rake it, cut it back, and haul it.

We pull packed leaves out of beds and window wells, cut back perennials and grasses, recut the edges, and load the trailer. Nothing sits at the curb.

If you've got a lot of oaks, do this before things really start growing. Wait until May and you're pulling weeds out of wet leaf mat.

A lot of people add mulch the same day so they don't have to look at bare dirt for a month.

We write down what's included before we start. If the job gets bigger, we ask first. The debris leaves with us.

A few questions

When should I book spring cleanup?

As soon as the ground firms, before May weeds. Packed oak leaves come out of beds first, then we haul.

Do you take the debris with you?

Yes. We haul it. We don't leave bags at the curb.

How much is a spring cleanup?

A typical third- to half-acre lot around here is a half-day to a day. Send photos for a real number.
