Spring bed cleanup & weeding
Winter debris out, beds weeded and edged by hand, ready for mulch or planting.
What it is
Winter debris out, weeds pulled by the root, edges tidied.
The spring reset for beds: dead stems and matted leaves raked out, weeds pulled by hand with the roots, the lawn edge tidied with a flat spade where it has crept in, and the bed raked level so it's ready for mulch or planting.
No herbicide, no power edger. Green shoots in a tidy clump are treated as plants, not weeds, and anything the crew member isn't sure about is left and photographed for our team to check with you.
When to book it
Once the ground has thawed and the first weeds are up but still small, usually April into May. Book mulch spreading for the following week and the beds stay clean all summer.
