Spring and Fall Cleanups in Nelsonville

Spring and fall cleanups are the two heavy visits that bracket the growing season. The spring version deals with what winter left behind: matted leaves, downed limbs, gravel thrown into the grass by the plows, flattened beds and the general debris that collects over a few months of weather. The fall version works the other direction, clearing leaves, cutting back spent growth, tidying the beds and getting the property to a state it can sit in through the cold. Both involve a lot more hauling than a normal mowing visit, and both leave the lawn and the beds genuinely clear rather than tidied around.

Timing is most of it. Spring cleanups want to happen once the ground has firmed up, because working a soaked lawn with equipment does more harm than leaving it a week, and fall cleanups work best once most of the leaves are actually down. We need to know what you want kept and what goes, since some people want beds cut back hard and others want growth left standing through winter. Let us know whether debris should be hauled off or piled somewhere on the property, and where that pile goes. Moving furniture, planters and anything else sitting on the lawn beforehand means we can clear underneath it rather than around it.
