Seasonal Yard Clean‑Up & Maintenance: Seattle’s Year‑Round Care Guide
Hey there, neighbors—Mr. Lee here! Seattle’s wet winters and mild summers mean your yard faces different challenges each season. A one‑and‑done cleanup won’t cut it. You need a tailored, year‑round plan to prevent overgrowth, protect plant health, and keep your curb appeal high. Here’s how our Seasonal Yard Clean‑Up & Maintenance services ensure your Puget Sound garden thrives from spring thaw to winter frost.
1. Why Seasonal Maintenance Matters
- Prevent Costly Repairs
Early spring and fall cleanups stop weeds, pests, and debris from taking hold—saving you on replacements and treatments later. - Consistent Curb Appeal
Whether it’s summer barbecues or holiday gatherings, your lawn and garden will always look guest‑ready. - Optimized Plant Health
Proper timing for pruning, mulching, and fertilizing keeps shrubs, flowers, and turf vigorous all year.
2. Spring Clean‑Up (March – May)
- Debris & Leaf Removal
Hand‑rake winter’s leaf litter, clear fallen branches, and derbis. - Soil & Bed Prep
Light aeration, bed tilling, and fresh mulch application for new plantings. - Pruning & Pre‑Emergent Treatment
Trim dead wood from shrubs and trees; apply pre‑emergent weed control to garden beds.
3. Summer Yard Care (June – August)
- Weeding & Pest Monitoring
Spot‑pull invasive weeds and scout for aphids, slugs, or fungal issues. - Hardscape Maintenance
Power‑blow patios, decks, and walkways; remove moss and algae. - Lawn Upkeep
Mow at the ideal height, edge borders, and overseed thin turf areas.
4. Fall Prep (September – November)
- Leaf & Debris Cleanup
Bag or compost fallen leaves before they mat and block sunlight. - Mulch & Soil Protection
Apply 2–3″ of organic mulch to insulate roots and top‑dress soil amendments. - Final Pruning & Bulb Planting
Cut back perennials and ornamental grasses; plant spring bulbs like tulips and daffodils.
5. Winter Readiness (December – February)
- Storm Debris Removal
Clear fallen limbs and branches to prevent hazards. - Tool & Irrigation Winterization
Drain hoses and irrigation lines; service equipment for spring. - Landscape Planning
Design next year’s garden beds, hardscape upgrades, or irrigation improvements.
