Seasonal Cleanups
A clean property sets the tone for the entire season. Seasonal cleanups remove the mess that builds up over months of weather changes, and they help your turf and plants breathe, absorb nutrients and respond better to every service that follows. At Design Works, our cleanups are done with purpose. We look at how debris affects plant health, how moisture collects, and how sunlight reaches the soil so your yard starts each season in the best possible condition.
Spring Cleanups
New England winters leave behind a lot more than snow. They compact leaves, weaken turf, and scatter sand, gravel and broken branches across your property. If this winter debris stays in place, it disrupts early growth and slows down your lawn’s natural recovery.
A spring cleanup clears everything out so sunlight can reach the soil again and new growth can come in evenly. It also prepares your property for fertilizer, irrigation and fine gardening because nothing is fighting through a layer of leftover winter damage.
Fall Cleanups
Fall cleanups protect your landscape while it rests. Once the leaves drop and temperatures cool, your lawn becomes more vulnerable to issues like snow mold and moisture stress. When leaves sit on turf through winter, they compress into dense, wet layers that block oxygen and weaken everything underneath.
Clearing them away gives your lawn a clean surface before freezing temperatures arrive. Beds benefit just as much since a tidy finish prevents pests and reduces rot around perennials.
What Goes Into A Cleanup
Step One
Leaves, sticks and debris are cleared from the lawn, beds and hardscape areas. This opens the surface so air, light and water can reach the soil again.
Full Picture Landscape Care
Seasonal cleanups are most effective when they are part of a consistent maintenance plan. When debris removal, bed clearing, and turf preparation are handled at the right times, landscapes transition more smoothly between seasons and experience fewer health issues.
Our maintenance program allows our team to understand how your property responds throughout the year and address buildup before it becomes a problem. This proactive approach keeps turf and plants healthier and ensures your landscape is always ready for what comes next.
