Spring & Fall Yard Cleanup in Ontario

Twice a year, an Ontario yard needs a reset. In spring it's the reveal after snowmelt: matted leaves smothering the lawn, branches the winter brought down, sand and grit along the driveway edge, and garden beds that need cutting back before new growth starts. In fall it's the race to get leaves up and beds put to sleep before the first real snow lands on top of the job.

A proper cleanup is more than raking. Spring visits typically include dethatching matted areas, first bed cleanups, and hauling everything away. Fall visits get the leaves off the lawn before they smother it over winter, cut back perennials, and clear the corners where wind piles debris. Pair it with an eavestrough cleaning while we're there — same ladders, same visit, and it's the single most useful add-on before winter.

One yard or a season's contract, small city lot or a rural property with real trees — describe what you've got and we'll quote it.

Common questions

When should fall cleanup happen?
After most leaves are down but before steady snow — in much of Ontario that's a window from late October into November, and it moves every year. Big maple lots sometimes need two passes. Booking ahead matters because everyone's window is the same few weeks.
Do leaves really hurt the lawn if they stay over winter?
A thick wet mat does. It blocks light and air, invites snow mould, and you'll see the dead patches at melt. A light scattering is harmless and can just be mulched in with a mower. It's the ankle-deep layers under maples that need to come off.
What does a spring cleanup include that fall doesn't?
Spring is recovery work: raking up what winter left, dethatching areas the plow and snow mould flattened, sweeping driveway sand off the lawn edge, cutting back last year's perennials, and hauling the winter's fallen branches. Fall is prevention; spring is cleanup after the fact.
Can you take the debris away?
That's part of the job — bagged, loaded and gone, disposed of through proper yard-waste channels. If your municipality collects yard waste and you'd rather we stage bags at the curb on the right week, that works too and trims the cost a bit.
Is one big cleanup enough, or do I need a recurring service?
Most homes do fine with two good cleanups a year plus regular mowing in between. Heavily treed lots benefit from an extra fall pass. If you're maintaining a rental or don't want to think about it, seasonal arrangements make sense — but there's no pressure toward a contract you don't need.
