How to Customize Your Residential Yard Clean‑Up Service in Seattle
Hey there, neighbors—Mr. Lee here! Seattle yards come in all shapes and sizes, and no two lawns are exactly alike. That’s why I’ve put together this friendly, step‑by‑step guide to help you design a yard clean‑up plan that matches your home’s needs, your schedule, and your budget. Let’s dive in!
1. Start with a Yard Assessment
Before you pick a package off the shelf, take a good look around:
- Measure and Map: Jot down your lawn’s square footage, flower beds, hardscapes (patio, paths), and any problem spots (muddy areas, invasive vines).
- Identify Priorities: Do you need storm‑damage cleanup? Weed removal? Just a quick “freshen up” before guests arrive?
- Note Special Features: Native plants, vegetable patches, rain gardens or decorative rock beds all need different care.
This initial snapshot helps us tailor the right mix of services for your unique yard.
2. Pick the Core Cleanup Services
Based on your assessment, you can choose from our core offerings:
Debris Removal
- Leaf and branch clearing
- Storm‑damage cleanup
- Junk and trash haul‑away
Vegetation Control
- Pruning and hedge trimming

Hardscape & Pathway Sweep‑Up
- Power‑blowing sidewalks, driveways, patios
- Moss and algae removal for safer, slip‑resistant surfaces
Soil & Mulch Refresh

- Mulch re‑application for moisture retention and weed control
Tick off the services you need most, and leave the rest for later visits—or add them now if you want the full makeover!
3. Schedule for Seattle’s Seasons
Seattle weather can be unpredictable:
- Spring (March–May): Great for debris removal, pruning, and mulching—just before everything springs back to life.
- Summer (June–August): Best time for power‑blowing, hardscape sweep‑ups, and summer‑stress checks on plants.
- Fall (September–November): Leaf cleanup, soil prep, and weed prevention set you up for an easy winter.
- Winter (December–February): Limited outdoor work, but it’s perfect for planning next year’s yard upgrades.
Choose one‑off cleanups or a seasonal plan (quarterly or monthly) to keep your yard looking its best year‑round.
4. Add On the Extras You Value
Make your plan truly yours with these add‑ons:
| Service | Options |
|---|---|
| Invasive Plant Removal | Himalayan blackberry, ivy, bamboo, knotweed |
| Tree Pruning | Deciduous, evergreen, fruit trees |
| Hedge Trimming | Ornamental, privacy |
| Shrub Pruning | Evergreen, flowering |
| Stump Grinding | One, multiple |
| Vine Pruning | Ivy, clematis, wisteria |
| Lawn Mowing | Small, medium, large |
| Edging | Lawn borders, pathways, garden beds |
| Pressure Washing | Driveways, patios, walkways, siding |
| Mulching Job | Organic, inorganic, decorative |
| Irrigation Maintenance | Blow‑outs, repairs, winterization |
Pick what makes sense for you—maybe you just want a one‑time blackberry cleanout, or perhaps you’re ready for the full tree‑and‑shrub spa treatment.
5. Plan for Year‑Round Health
A customized clean‑up plan is just the beginning. We also recommend:
