About Our Spring & Fall Cleanup Service
Seasonal transitions demand dedicated landscape attention in Idaho where extreme weather swings - from harsh winters with heavy snow to hot, dry summers - create unique cleanup needs that directly impact your landscape's health and appearance throughout the year. Our comprehensive spring and fall cleanup services are essential seasonal maintenance that prepares your yard for optimal performance in the upcoming season while addressing damage and debris from the season just ended. Spring cleanup is your landscape's fresh start after Idaho's harsh winter. We remove accumulated winter debris including dead leaves trapped under snow, broken branches from ice and wind damage, dead perennial growth that protected roots through winter, salt and gravel tracked onto lawns from winter maintenance, and the general mess that emerges as snow melts. We cut back ornamental grasses and perennials to make room for new growth, edge landscape beds to create clean definition, remove winter-damaged plant material, and prepare beds for mulch refresh. Spring cleanup reveals winter damage that needs repair - broken sprinkler heads from freeze, dead sections of plants that didn't survive cold, areas of lawn killed by snow mold or ice damage, and drainage problems exposed by snowmelt. Identifying these issues early allows correction before the growing season begins. Fall cleanup protects your investment as winter approaches. Idaho's deciduous trees drop massive quantities of leaves in October-November that smother lawns if left in place. Thick leaf layers block sunlight, trap moisture creating fungal disease, provide habitat for voles and other pests, and kill grass outright if left through winter. We remove all leaves from lawns and beds using commercial backpack blowers that dramatically outperform homeowner equipment, cut back perennials that have finished their season, remove dead annual flowers and vegetables from beds and containers, clean out gutters if requested, and prepare your entire property for winter. Fall cleanup also includes cutting back perennials at the right time - not too early (which wastes winter protection) and not too late (which leaves a messy spring start). Professional timing and technique matter for both seasons. Spring cleanup done too early risks frost damage to newly exposed plants. Done too late, you miss the narrow window before rapid spring growth begins. Fall cleanup done too early removes plant material still protecting roots. Done too late, frozen ground and snow complicate work. We track Idaho's seasonal progression and schedule services for optimal timing. Both seasonal cleanups save homeowners entire weekends of back-breaking labor. Raking leaves, hauling debris, cutting back plants, and edging beds are time-consuming, physically demanding tasks that consume beautiful spring and fall weekends better spent enjoying your yard. Professional equipment completes in hours what takes homeowners days, and we haul away all debris - you never touch a wheelbarrow.
About Boise, Idaho
Boise, Idaho's capital and largest city with over 230,000 residents, is consistently ranked among America's most livable cities thanks to its outdoor recreation opportunities, growing economy, and high quality of life. The city's diverse neighborhoods each present unique lawn care and landscaping needs. Historic North End properties feature mature trees and established landscapes requiring careful maintenance, while newer developments in Harris Ranch and Barber Valley often need irrigation optimization and HOA-compliant landscaping solutions. Boise's four-season climate in USDA Zones 6b-7a challenges lawns with hot, dry summers where temperatures routinely reach 95-100°F and cold winters with occasional heavy snowfall. The Boise Bench area experiences particularly demanding conditions with intense summer heat and clay soil that requires regular aeration and proper drainage solutions. Downtown Boise commercial properties, from Grove Street restaurants to Capitol Boulevard offices, demand professional landscape maintenance that creates inviting outdoor spaces for employees and customers. The city's emphasis on water conservation through programs like the Garden ChallengeIdaho promotes xeriscaping and water-wise irrigation practices. Boise homeowners increasingly seek sustainable lawn care solutions that reduce water consumption while maintaining beautiful green spaces. Professional lawn care services in Boise must navigate varying soil conditions, comply with numerous HOA requirements across subdivisions, and adapt to microclimates created by the city's elevation changes from the valley floor to the foothills.

Our Spring & Fall Cleanup Process
Our Process
- Initial Property Assessment: We walk your property to identify all cleanup needs: leaf piles, debris, dead plants, storm damage, and areas requiring special attention.
- Leaf & Debris Removal: All leaves, twigs, and organic debris are removed from lawns, beds, and hard surfaces using commercial blowers and rakes.
- Bed Edging & Weeding: Flower beds and landscape areas are edged, weeded, and cleared of unwanted growth to create clean, defined lines.
- Pruning & Plant Care: Dead plant material is removed. In spring, we cut back perennials and ornamental grasses. In fall, we prepare plants for winter dormancy.
- Final Cleanup & Hauling: All debris is collected, loaded, and hauled away. We blow off all hard surfaces and leave your property looking fresh and ready for the season.
- Service Recommendations: We provide recommendations for next steps like mulch, fertilization, or irrigation adjustments to keep your landscape thriving.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in spring cleanup?
Spring cleanup includes: removing winter debris and dead plant material, cutting back ornamental grasses and perennials, edging beds, removing leaves from beds, light pruning, and preparing your landscape for the growing season. Additional services like mulch or fertilizer can be added.
What's included in fall cleanup?
Fall cleanup includes: removing leaves from lawn and beds, cutting back perennials, removing annual flowers, clearing flower pots, blowing gutters (if requested), and preparing beds for winter. This sets your property up for a strong start next spring.
When should I schedule spring cleanup?
March-April is ideal for spring cleanup in Idaho, after the last hard freeze but before new growth begins. We get very busy during this window, so booking in February ensures you get your preferred timing.
When should I schedule fall cleanup?
Late October through November is perfect for fall cleanup in Idaho - after most leaves have fallen but before winter weather makes outdoor work difficult. This timing protects your landscape while preparing for spring.
Do you haul away all the debris?
Yes! All leaves, twigs, and debris are loaded and hauled away as part of our service. You don't need to worry about disposal - we handle everything from start to finish.
Can you add mulch during cleanup?
Absolutely! Many clients add fresh mulch during spring cleanup to refresh bed appearance and suppress weeds. We can provide a quote for mulch installation along with your cleanup service.
How much does seasonal cleanup cost?
Spring or fall cleanup typically costs $200-400 for average residential properties (quarter-acre lots with moderate landscaping). Larger properties, heavily wooded lots with extensive leaves, or properties needing significant perennial cutting cost $400-800+. We provide free estimates after seeing your specific property and cleanup needs.
How long does cleanup take?
Most residential properties take 2-6 hours depending on size, debris volume, and landscape complexity. Small yards with minimal beds may take just 2 hours. Large, heavily landscaped properties can take a full day or more. We provide time estimates with your quote.
What if leaves keep falling after fall cleanup?
Idaho's leaf drop typically finishes by early November. We schedule fall cleanup for late October/early November to capture most leaves in one service. If significant leaves fall after cleanup, we can return for a touch-up visit (additional charge) or you can wait until spring cleanup when we remove any remaining debris.
Will you damage my sprinkler system during cleanup?
We take great care around irrigation systems. Our team is trained to identify and avoid sprinkler heads, valves, and lines. We use proper raking and blowing techniques that don't damage shallow irrigation components. If your system is properly winterized (fall) or activated (spring), damage is extremely rare.
Can cleanup be done if there's snow?
Light snow doesn't prevent cleanup, but heavy snow cover makes thorough work impossible. For spring cleanup, we wait until most snow melts. For fall cleanup, we aim to complete before first major snowfall. If unexpected early snow arrives, we can return when it melts to finish work.
Do you clean gutters as part of seasonal cleanup?
Gutter cleaning can be added to fall cleanup service for an additional fee. We blow out leaves and debris from gutters and downspouts, preventing ice dams and water damage. Many clients bundle gutter cleaning with fall cleanup for convenience and cost savings.
