Professional seasonal cleanup services to prepare your outdoor space for the changing seasons.
What's involved
Two visits a year, at the two moments a garden most needs a pair of hands.
Getting the garden closed down properly so nothing rots, smothers or freezes over winter.
Opening the garden back up — clearing winter's mess and getting beds ready to plant.
Why bother
A full weekend of raking, bagging and hauling, done in a single visit — bags taken away with it.
Plants that go into winter properly prepared come back stronger, and cost less to replace.
Knowing what to cut back now and what to leave standing until spring — it isn't the same for every plant.
The kind of finish that makes the whole property look cared for, not just cleared.
Local knowledge
Ottawa gardens live through a hard freeze and a fast thaw every single year. That shapes the whole calendar.
A fall cleanup done too early leaves plants exposed to a warm spell; done too late and the ground is already frozen. Spring is the same in reverse — walk on a sodden bed too soon and you compact it for the rest of the season.
Timing the visit to the weather rather than the calendar is most of what makes a seasonal cleanup worth paying for.
Every visit
The same six things come with every cleanup, whatever the season.
