Spring & Fall Yard Cleanups

Fresh Starts for Every Season

Your landscape needs attention at the start and end of the growing season. Winter leaves behind debris, dead plants, and compacted leaves that smother grass. Fall cleanup prepares your yard for dormancy and prevents spring problems. These seasonal transitions are the perfect time to reset your landscape and tackle tasks that keep your property healthy and attractive.

At BrightRise Lake Forest Landscapers, we provide complete spring and fall cleanup services that transform your yard after seasonal changes. We remove debris, prune plants, refresh beds, and handle all the tasks that prepare your landscape for the months ahead. Our thorough approach ensures nothing gets missed and your property looks its absolute best.

Many homeowners dread seasonal cleanups because they involve hours of hard work. Raking leaves, cutting back perennials, removing debris, and hauling everything away takes an entire weekend or more. We handle all of this for you quickly and efficiently, so you can enjoy the results without the backbreaking work.

Spring Cleanup Services

Spring cleanup wakes up your yard and prepares it for the growing season. Here is what we include in our spring services:

Debris Removal

Winter storms leave branches, leaves, and debris scattered across your property. We remove everything from lawns, beds, walkways, and other areas. This includes cleaning out gutters if needed to prevent water damage. Your property looks clean and ready for spring when we finish.

Bed Preparation

We prepare flower beds for the growing season by removing dead annual plants from last year, cutting back perennials, and clearing out old mulch or leaves. We edge beds cleanly and add fresh mulch to give your landscape a polished look. Beds are ready for new plantings or simply to support existing perennials as they emerge.

Lawn Care

Your lawn needs attention after winter. We rake to remove matted leaves and thatch that block sunlight and air. We can also aerate if your soil is compacted and overseed thin areas to fill in bare spots. These treatments help grass green up quickly and grow thick and healthy throughout the season.

Pruning and Trimming

Spring is an ideal time to prune many shrubs and trees before they put out new growth. We remove dead, damaged, or diseased branches and shape plants for healthy development. Proper spring pruning encourages fuller growth and better flowering later in the season.

Fall Cleanup Services

Fall cleanup prepares your landscape for winter and prevents problems that develop when yards are left messy. Our fall services include:

• •
  Leaf Removal: We remove all fallen leaves from lawns, beds, and hard surfaces. Leaves left on grass block sunlight and create conditions for disease. We rake, blow, and haul away leaves so your lawn stays healthy through winter.
• •
  Perennial Cutback: We cut back perennials that have died back for the season. This tidies beds and removes places where pests and diseases can overwinter. Your beds look neat all winter instead of messy and neglected.
• •
  Annual Removal: We pull out spent annual flowers and vegetables that have finished for the season. This prevents them from becoming soggy messes and makes room for winter plantings if desired.
• •
  Gutter Cleaning: Clogged gutters cause water damage to roofs and foundations. We clean gutters and downspouts to ensure proper drainage during winter rains.
• •
  Equipment Winterization: If you have irrigation systems, we can help prepare them for winter to prevent freeze damage. This includes blowing out lines and shutting down controllers properly.
• •
  Final Mowing: We give your lawn a final cut at the right height for winter. Grass that is too long can mat and develop disease, while grass cut too short is vulnerable to winter damage.

We coordinate cleanups with other services like mulching and bed maintenance and tree trimming to provide complete seasonal care for your property.
