Yard Cleanup in Guelph

Spring and fall cleanups that reset your whole property — leaves, debris, beds and lawn, done in one visit.

A proper cleanup is the difference between a yard that starts the season ready and one that spends June catching up. We run full spring and fall cleanup routes across Guelph — and because we also mow 85+ properties weekly, our cleanups are built around what the lawn actually needs next, not just making a pile of leaves disappear.

What a cleanup includes

✓Complete leaf and debris removal from lawns, beds and hard surfaces

✓Raking out matted, dead grass so turf crowns can breathe (spring)

✓Garden bed cleanup — cutting back dead growth, first weeding pass

✓Winter grit and road-sand cleanup along boulevards and walks (spring)

✓Final shorter cut and lawn winterization prep (fall)

✓Haul-away or curbside yard-waste prep, your choice

💡 Pro tip: In leaf-heavy neighbourhoods like Exhibition Park and the older streets downtown, two lighter fall visits beat one marathon in late November — matted wet leaves smother turf and breed snow mould underneath.

Spring cleanup: order of operations matters

Cleanup comes first, before the first cut, before fertilizer, before mulch — because everything else works better on a clean lawn. Our spring visits typically bundle cleanup, first cut, bed edging and fresh mulch into one appointment so the whole property resets at once.

Fall cleanup: next spring is built now

Fall cleanup is lawn protection, not just tidiness. Leaves left through winter mat down, smother grass and hand you dead patches at snowmelt. We time final cleanups around actual leaf drop and the forecast — not a fixed calendar date — and pair them with the season’s final short cut.

Common Questions

When should I book a spring cleanup in Guelph?

Book in February or March for an April slot. Cleanup season is short — everyone wants the same three weeks — and our route fills first-come, first-served.

When do fall cleanups happen?

Mid-October through late November, timed to leaf drop. Heavy-tree properties often get two visits: one mid-fall, one after the final drop.

Do you take the yard waste away?

Your choice: we can haul it away or bag/stage it for Guelph’s curbside yard waste collection.

How much does a yard cleanup cost in Guelph?

It depends on property size and how much material there is — a townhouse spring reset and a half-acre with mature maples are different jobs. Quotes are free and fast.
