Spring cleanup in Toronto is one visit that hands you back your yard: winter’s sticks and matted leaves cleared, perennials cut back, beds edged sharp, lawn raked awake, everything hauled away the same day. It’s the difference between a season that starts in April and one you’re still catching up on in June.

In the visit

Branches, litter, and winter debris collected across lawn, beds, and hard surfaces
Perennials and ornamental grasses cut back; winter mulch loosened
Bed edges re-cut, the single thing that makes a yard look maintained
Lawn raked or power-dethatched where the thatch demands it
First mow if the grass has started
Everything bagged, loaded, gone

Timing is the service

The skill in a spring cleanup is knowing when the property can take it: rake a soggy lawn and you pull living grass out by the roots; cut grasses back too early and you lose the frost protection they were providing. We book by neighbourhood windows from late March and sequence properties as they dry.

What it sets up

A cleanup is the launch pad, not the season. Most cleanup clients roll straight into weekly mowing or a lawn care program while the crew already knows the property, and the same one-visit reset exists in November as a fall cleanup.

Frequently asked questions

What does a spring cleanup cost?

Most Toronto city lots run $300 to $700 depending on lot size and how the property wintered. Heavily treed lots and first-time cleanups after a skipped year price higher. The quote is fixed from a quick look at the property.

When should spring cleanup happen?

When the lawn is dry enough to rake without tearing, typically early April to early May in Toronto. Working soaked turf and beds does damage, so we book by window rather than exact date and slot you when your property is ready.

What exactly is included?

Winter debris and branch pickup, cutting back perennials and grasses left for winter, bed edging and first weeding, lawn raking or dethatching pass, first-cut if the grass is going, and full haul-away. You get the yard back in one visit.

Do you take everything away?

Yes. haul-away and disposal are included, not a surcharge. The yard waste leaves with us the same day.
