Spring Cleanup Information

Can debris in your yard destroy your grass?

The accumulation of debris throughout your yard can cause a variety of problems. When a layer of excess debris, or thatch, gathers on your lawn, the soil and the roots don't have access to the sunlight and nutrients they need to survive. The process of dethatching helps protect your yard by removing this accumulated debris.

Dethatching removes weeds, thatch, and unwanted material from the turf, leaving you with a fresh canvas. Our dethatching process involves a two-step sequence, where diagonal passes across the lawn optimize thatch removal. This process removes heavy excess thatch from the top of grass roots, and the collected material is taken off-site to a composting facility.

How important is proper spring cleanup?

Proper spring cleanup is essential to the continued health and growth of your lawn. Along with dethatching services, our spring cleanup solutions involve edging beds and mulching to keep your turf in good shape:

• Edging Beds -This process cleans edges around your property to define different areas and allow transitions from lawns to plant beds to walkways. A well-defined edge keeps mulch in and water runoff from damaging turf areas. 
• Mulching – We use organic mulch to act as a shield from insects and diseases. Our mulch is hand selected and brought in for resale to our customers from Northern Maine and Canada. Our mulch is triple ground and is true bark mulch, decomposing and giving nutrients back to the plants.

Our spring cleanups benefit your property and take care of heavy thatch buildup from winter sticks, debris, and leaves. Spring cleanups address dead spots in lawns, removing unhealthy grass and leaving you only with a lush, green lawn. We rake down plant beds, and plant crowns are exposed to allow maximum breathability to your plants, which is a major reason for plant disease.
