Our professional Spring Yard Clean Up service in Calgary, is designed to take your property from "Winter weary" to "Summer ready" in a single visit. We handle the heavy lifting, the raking, and the bagging, so you can enjoy the first warm days of the year without lifting a finger.
We use professional blowers to clear out winter debris, dead leaves, and pine cones from garden and flower beds, hedge bottoms, window wells and hard surfaces. We rake and bag everything, leaving your yard spotless.
Removes dead grass and thick thatch buildup that blocks water, nutrients, and air circulation. Essential for a strong Spring green-up. We use commercial - grade power rakes to mechanically remove a layer of this deep-seated debris.
Lawn aeration improves water and nutrients intake, and promotes root growth and air flow. Our commercial grade aerators, pull soil plugs to relieve compaction from snow, ice, and winter traffic
High Nitrogen is what your grass needs to wake up from dormancy and establish strong roots before the Summer heat arrives, while Iron enhances deep green. We use premium, slow-release fertilizers designed for Calgary’s alkaline soils
Once the thatch is gone and the beds are clear, we the perform the finishing touches, mow the grass to encourage Spring growth, trim around all fences and trees, and blow off all sidewalks and driveways
Spring yard clean up is not just "good practice" in Calgary; it is a critical recovery mission. Because of our unique high-altitude climate and soil conditions, local lawns face specific threats that lawns in milder climates do not. Here is why Spring maintenance is crucial for the survival and health of Calgary lawns, and the reason we are a top choice to help you with the task
We typically begin in mid-April, or as soon as the snow is gone and the ground has dried out enough to prevent damage from our equipment.
No, currently we do not clean, or remove pet waste. We kindly ask property owners that all pet waste be removed prior to our arrival. This ensures our equipment stays clean and we can do the best job possible on your lawn.
We bag organic waste in paper bags, which we leave on the property, ready for City green bin collection. Currently we do not haul away the bags from the properties we service.
Most Calgary properties take 1–2 hours, depending on yard size and the number of services included. Larger lots or properties with heavy debris will take longer.
No, services like aeration and power raking require dry ground conditions. Clean ups begin once snow has melted and lawns are no longer saturated. If snow falls after the Season start, we halt the service and resume after conditions are met.
We recommend against getting power raking and aeration done on new lawns, for the first 2 years, or until the sod is fully rooted. Due to the powerful mechanical action, there is a risk that aerators and power rakes can unseat or rip the new sod, if is not fully rooted. However the lawn can still be cleared of leaves and debris, by gently using leaf blowers and leaf rakes, also it can be fertilized and cut, assuming that it has been installed minimum 3-4 weeks prior.
Bookings can be canceled at any time, prior to scheduled service date. That gives us enough time to replace your property in our schedules, without any down times. However, for unannounced, on spot cancellations we charge a $80 fee.
No, as long as we have access to the yard (gates unlocked) and pets are inside, we can complete the work while you are out.
We start booking for the Spring service around mid February. As most of our clients from previous year, return, the availability for the service is limited. We recommend booking before the end of March, in order to secure a spot.
We kindly ask clients to clear the area we need to clean, of any items which can prevent our crew to do a proper clean up. We do not touch client property and as such can't move any items. Also, for properties booked for lawn aeration, which have inground sprinkler system, we require the sprinkler heads flagged, prior to our crew arrival, in order to prevent the machines running over and possibly damaging the sprinkler heads.
Water your lawn consistently and avoid heavy foot traffic for 24–48 hours, especially after aeration. Regular mowing and ongoing lawn care will maintain the results of the Spring clean up service
Depending on weather, we provide Spring clean ups up until mid to end of May. Some of the services, such as aeration or lawn fertilization, we offer on demand after we stop the Spring clean up service.
Indirectly, yes. A healthier lawn with good airflow, nutrients, and early-season growth is more resistant to common Calgary weeds such as dandelions and creeping bellflower. Combine the clean up with a fertilization and weed control program for best results.
There are no pre-payments, we email out an invoice after the service has been completed. As for payment, we currently accept e-transfers and cheques.
Winter is tough on Calgary lawns - give yours the clean, healthy start it needs. Our team handles everything: power raking, aeration, leaves and debris removal, fertilization, first mow, and more.
