Trusted Spring Clean Up & Mulching Services in Northern Virginia

We needed some weed control in our flower beds, edging and a general spring clean up. Greener lawn maintenance did an excellent job. We are so happy with the outcome. We look forward to working with them to maintain a beautiful lawn and garden.

What Is Spring Cleanup with Mulching?

Over time, leaves, debris, dead plants, and weeds accumulate in your yard and garden beds. Spring cleanup removes winter debris, refreshes your beds, and prepares your plants for healthy growth. Fresh mulch protects soil, suppresses weeds, and makes your landscape look finished.

Spring Cleanup prepares your property after winter

- Removal of leaves, sticks, and winter debris

- Cutting back dead or damaged plant material

- Cleaning out garden beds

- Light edging and reshaping of beds

This allows plants, grass, and soil to warm up and grow properly.

Mulching is applied after cleanup to:

- Retain moisture in the soil

- Regulate soil temperature

- Suppress weeds

- Protect plant roots

- Improve the overall appearance of the landscape

Mulch is applied at the proper depth and kept away from plant stems and tree trunks.

What Happens If You Skip It?

When seasonal debris and old plant material are left in place, problems build up:

- Plant health declines — Dead leaves block air, sunlight, and moisture, causing stress and disease

- Weeds take over — Unmaintained beds allow weeds to establish and spread

- Pests and disease — Decaying material creates ideal conditions for insects and plant diseases

- Poor soil performance — Soil dries out faster and is more vulnerable to temperature swings

- Overgrown beds — Plants crowd each other, leading to reshaping or removal later

- Declining curb appeal — Landscapes quickly look neglected

- Higher costs later — Routine maintenance prevents larger, more expensive cleanups

Our Process

1. Property Evaluation: We walk the property to identify priority areas, plant needs, debris levels, and problem spots.

2. Debris Removal: Leaves, sticks, dead plants, and organic buildup are removed from beds and lawn areas.

3. Bed Cleanup & Plant Care: Weeds removed, perennials and shrubs cut back as appropriate, beds reshaped and defined.

4. Light Pruning: Dead, damaged, or overgrown branches removed while maintaining plant health and shape.

5. Final Bed Preparation: Soil loosened and smoothed, beds leveled for even mulch application.

6. Mulch Installation: Fresh mulch applied at correct depth, kept away from trunks and stems.

7. Lawn Finishing: Remaining debris blown or collected from lawn, walkways, patios, and driveways.

8. Final Inspection: We ensure everything is clean, evenly mulched, and properly finished.
