Why Spring Clean Ups Matter in Lincoln

Lincoln winters leave lawns covered in matted leaves, sticks and dead grass. When that layer sits on the lawn into spring, it blocks sunlight and air, slows green-up and gives weeds a head start. A spring cleanup:



- Helps your lawn green up faster and more evenly.

- Clears the way for your first fertilizer and pre-emergent applications.

- Gets your beds ready for fresh mulch and bed weed control.

- Gives your mower a clean first cut instead of chopping through debris.

- Makes your whole property look cared for right away

When We Do Spring Clean Ups

Spring cleanups run February, March and April, depending on the weather and ground conditions. Spots fill quickly every year, so we recommend booking early.

Who Spring CleanUp

-Homeowners getting ready for weekly mowing.

- Properties with lots of trees or heavy leaf cover left from fall.
