Spring Cleanup in Star

Spring cleanup is the essential seasonal service that awakens your Idaho landscape after harsh winter dormancy and sets the foundation for a beautiful, healthy lawn and garden throughout the entire growing season. After months of snow cover, freeze-thaw cycles, and winter storms, Treasure Valley properties accumulate significant debris, damage, and organic material that must be professionally removed before active spring growth begins. Our comprehensive spring cleanup service transforms winter-weary landscapes into fresh, vibrant outdoor spaces ready to flourish.

The process begins with thorough removal of all winter accumulation: fallen branches from ice and wind storms, matted leaves that blew in or emerged from under snow, dead vegetation that winter-killed, trash and debris that accumulated, and any residual salt or de-icing material from walkways that can damage plants. We perform vigorous power raking to lift and remove the dense mat of dead grass blades (winter-killed turf tissue) that smothers new spring growth and harbors snow mold fungus - this crucial step allows sunlight and air to reach the soil and emerging grass shoots. Flower beds receive complete spring preparation including cutting back the dead top growth of perennials to 2-3 inches (promoting vigorous new growth), removing winter-killed annuals and any plants that didn't survive, redefining crisp bed edges that winter heaving blurred, and removing old mulch layers if fresh mulch installation is planned.

Ornamental grasses are cut back to 4-6 inches, removing the previous season's growth that would otherwise mat down and smother new shoots emerging from the grass crown. We clean all hardscaping - patios, walkways, driveways - removing winter grime, organic stains, and accumulated debris. The lawn receives its critical first mowing of the season at appropriate height for your grass type (typically 2.5-3 inches) which removes winter-damaged blade tips, encourages lateral spreading growth, and establishes the healthy mowing pattern for the season.
