Comprehensive spring and fall services to prepare your landscape for seasonal transitions and ensure year-round health.

Spring Clean-Up

Prepare your landscape for the growing season with thorough cleanup and revitalization services.

What’s Included:

• Winter Debris Removal – Clear branches, leaves, and storm damage accumulated over winter
• Perennial Cut-Back – Remove dead foliage from ornamental grasses, perennials, and shrubs
• Bed Preparation – Rake, edge, and prepare planting beds for new growth
• Early Season Pruning – Shape shrubs and remove winter damage before spring growth
• Mulch Refreshment – Add fresh mulch to beds (typically 2-3 inches)
• Irrigation System Startup – Turn on system, test all zones, adjust heads, check for leaks
• Lawn Dethatching (if needed) – Remove accumulated thatch for healthier turf

• Assessment & Planning – Walk property to identify any winter damage or needed repairs

Timing: Late March through early May (after last frost, typically mid-April in Colorado Springs)

Why It Matters:
Spring cleanup sets the foundation for a healthy, beautiful landscape all season. Removing debris prevents disease, fresh mulch suppresses weeds, and proper system startup ensures efficient watering throughout summer.

Fall Clean-Up

Prepare your landscape for winter dormancy and protect your investment from harsh Colorado conditions.

What’s Included:

• Leaf Removal & Disposal – Multiple visits as needed to remove fallen leaves from lawn and beds
• Perennial Winterization – Cut back spent perennials to 3-4 inches (timing depends on plant type)

• Final Mulch Layer – Add protective mulch layer if needed for winter insulation
• Irrigation Winterization – Professional blowout to prevent frozen pipes and damage
• Shrub & Tree Protection – Wrap vulnerable plants, apply anti-desiccant sprays

• Fertilization – Late-season fertilizer application for root development
• Equipment Check – Inspect for any repairs needed before winter
• Spring Planning – Discuss any changes or additions for next season

Timing: October through November 

Why It Matters:
Proper fall cleanup protects your landscape investment through winter. Removing leaves prevents lawn disease, irrigation winterization prevents costly freeze damage, and cutting back perennials at the right time promotes healthy spring growth.
