Frequently Asked Questions
In Essex County, we start spring cleanups in mid-to-late March once snow melts. Book by early March to secure your preferred timing.
Our standard fall cleanup includes one comprehensive visit. Multi-visit packages are available for properties with heavy tree canopy — most clients in established neighbourhoods opt for 2–3 visits.
A typical spring cleanup in Essex County includes raking and removing winter debris from garden beds, dethatching the lawn, edging beds and walkways, pruning dead or damaged branches, and clearing gutters of leftover leaf buildup. We apply fresh cedar or hardwood mulch to all garden beds — or top up decorative stone beds — to suppress weeds and give your property a finished look heading into the growing season. The goal is to prepare your property for healthy growth once temperatures consistently stay above 10°C, which usually happens in our area by mid-April.
In Essex County's Zone 7a climate, fall is generally the best time to core aerate cool-season lawns like Kentucky bluegrass and fescue, because the soil is warm, compaction is at its peak after summer, and overseeding can establish before winter. Spring aeration works well for heavily compacted clay soils — common across Windsor and Lakeshore — but should be done before late April.
