Cleanups Are About More Than Looks
A well-timed yard cleanup protects your plants, improves curb appeal, and prevents bigger problems later. In Colorado’s four-season climate, knowing when to cut back, haul off, and prep makes all the difference — especially with freeze-thaw cycles, wind, and spring runoff. Here's how we handle cleanups the smart way, season by season.
1. Spring Cleanup (March–May)
1. Spring Cleanup (March–May)
Goal: Prep your landscape for healthy growth and early color.
Typical Tasks:
Cut back ornamental grasses and perennials
Remove leaf debris and winter buildup
Apply pre-emergent for weed control
Early pruning of shrubs and trees
Lawn raking or aeration (weather-dependent)
Light bed re-edging and top-dressing
Why Timing Matters:
Too early = freeze risk.
Too late = weeds and compaction win.
2. Summer Touch-Up (June–August)
2. Summer Touch-Up (June–August)
Goal: Maintain curb appeal and plant health mid-season.
Typical Tasks:
Touch up mulch or decorative rock
Mid-season trimming of fast-growing plants
Spot weed control
Deadhead spent flowers
Light shape pruning (not structural)
Optional irrigation checkups and scheduling
Why Timing Matters:
Skipping summer maintenance leads to overgrowth, pest issues, and water waste.
3. Fall Cleanup (September–November)
