What Does Spring Cleanup Include? Here's the deal: Michigan winters leave behind a disaster zone. Matted leaves, broken branches, mystery debris — your lawn is buried under months of neglect. Our crew handles all of it: We clear fallen branches, leaves, and debris from your entire lawn and landscape beds. We rake and clean beds so your plants can actually breathe again. We edge along walkways, driveways, and bed borders for that crisp, clean look. We assess your lawn's condition and recommend next steps — whether that's core aeration, overseeding, or just a pat on the back. Why Spring Cleanup Matters Skipping spring cleanup is like trying to run a marathon in ski boots. Snow, ice, salt, and debris have spent months compacting your soil and smothering your grass. Those matted leaves? They're blocking sunlight and trapping moisture — basically rolling out the red carpet for disease and rot. Your lawn cannot absorb nutrients or breathe until the surface is cleared. Think of spring cleanup as hitting the reset button on your entire yard. When to Schedule In the Grand Rapids area, the sweet spot is late March through mid-April — as soon as the snow melts and the ground starts to dry out. Book early. Once peak season hits, everyone suddenly remembers they have a yard. Pair It with Core Aeration Spring cleanup followed by core aeration is one of the most effective one-two punches for waking up your lawn after winter. Clearing the surface first lets the aerator do its job properly and gives your grass the strongest possible start to the growing season.
