Spring and fall clean-ups in Toronto

Leaf removal, bed clean-outs, de-thatching, perennial cut-back and debris hauling for Toronto properties — twice a year, the property gets reset.

Spring: undoing what winter did

Plows push sand and gravel onto lawn edges all winter, road salt burns the strip along the driveway, and turf comes out of the snow matted flat. None of it fixes itself, and all of it decides how the Toronto property looks in July.

Fall: as many visits as the trees take

Mature maples drop over six to eight weeks and never on schedule. A single clean-up booked for early November leaves half the canopy still to come and the rest on your lawn until April.

Everything hauled away

Leaves, cut-back material, sticks and storm debris leave the property. No bags at the curb for you to deal with afterwards.

• Leaves, sticks and storm debris removed and hauled off
• Matted turf de-thatched so new growth gets light
• Plow sand and salt residue cleared off lawn edges
• Beds cleaned out, edges re-cut, mulch refreshed
• Final cut at winter height and fall fertilizer

City work is its own discipline: small rear gardens, laneway access, street parking for the truck and neighbours close enough that a nine-hour noisy day is not acceptable.
