Spring Cleanup Blog: The Most Important Service for a Healthy, Beautiful Lawn & Landscape
Kickstart your lawn's health this spring with a professional cleanup, removing debris and boosting growth for a lush landscape throughout the year.
After a long Indiana winter, your lawn and landscape has taken a beating. Leaves, sticks, dead plant material, and compacted soil can suffocate your lawn and prevent healthy spring growth. A professional spring cleanup resets your property and prepares it for a strong, green season ahead.
At Holmes Lawn & Landscape, spring cleanups are one of the most important services we provide — and one of the biggest factors in how your lawn performs all year.
What Is a Spring Cleanup?
A professional spring cleanup goes far beyond just blowing leaves. It prepares your lawn, landscape beds, and property for healthy growth, clean appearance, and weed prevention.
Our Spring Cleanup Includes:
• Removal of leaves, sticks, and winter debris
• Full cleanup of landscape beds
• Cutting back perennials and ornamental grasses
• Light pruning of shrubs where needed
• Fresh bed edging for clean definition
• First mow (weather permitting)
• Preparing beds for mulch installation
• Lawn surface clearing to promote healthy growth
Why Spring Cleanup Matters
Skipping spring cleanup often leads to:
• Patchy or weak lawn growth
• Increased weeds
• Poor mulch performance
• Compacted, unhealthy soil
• Messy appearance all season
A proper cleanup allows sunlight, air, and nutrients to reach your lawn — which leads to thicker grass, fewer weeds, and stronger overall turf health.
When Should Spring Cleanup Be Done?
In Central Indiana, spring cleanup season typically runs:
Mid-March through April
The earlier your property is cleaned and prepped, the better your lawn and landscape will perform throughout the year.
