Spring Yard Cleanup Checklist for Massachusetts

Spring cleanup helps your yard recover from winter and prepares it for healthy growth. It is also one of the busiest services for local landscapers, so it helps to plan early.

Spring Cleanup Tasks

• Remove leaves, branches, and winter debris
• Edge garden beds and walkways
• Cut back dead perennials where appropriate
• Prune damaged shrubs and small branches
• Refresh mulch after bed preparation
• Inspect drainage problems and low spots
• Repair bare lawn patches

When to Schedule

Many homeowners schedule spring cleanup as soon as the ground is workable and before peak mowing season begins.
