Essential Spring & Fall Property Cleanups: A Surrey Homeowner’s Checklist

As winter ends and warmer weather arrives, your lawn and garden beds need to be prepped for the rapid growth season ahead.

  • Debris & Leaf Removal: Clearing out dead leaves, fallen branches, and winter organic debris that trap moisture and smother lawn growth.

  • Garden Bed Edging & Weeding: Defining sharp, clean lines between your lawn and garden beds to prevent grass encroachment.

  • Bark Mulch Application: Spreading a fresh 2-to-3-inch layer of organic bark mulch to retain soil moisture, regulate soil temperature, and naturally suppress summer weeds.

  • Pruning & Hedge Trimming: Shaping shrubs and trimming dead or damaged branches before full spring growth begins.

  • Lawn Care Kick-Start: Performing early spring aeration, overseeding, and balanced fertilization to wake up root systems.

2. The Fall Property Cleanup Checklist

Preparing your yard before the heavy rains and freezing temperatures of winter sets in is essential to prevent disease, fungal growth, and drainage issues.

  • Heavy Leaf Clearing: Removing accumulated fall leaves from lawns and hardscape surfaces. Leaving thick mats of wet leaves on turf starves grass of sunlight and invites lawn rot.

  • Perennial Cutbacks & Shrub Protection: Pruning back spent perennials and protecting sensitive shrubs from heavy frost and wind exposure.

  • Drainage & Hardscape Clearing: Clearing leaves, moss, and sediment from patio surfaces, retaining wall drainage outlets, and catch basins to ensure rainwater flows away safely.

  • Final Seasonal Mowing: Giving your lawn a final, slightly lower cut before winter to reduce turf matted down by heavy rain and snow.
