Spring Cleanups: Why Your Yard Needs One Every Year
As the snow melts and the first signs of green start to emerge, your yard may be left looking... less than its best. Twigs, leaves, and debris piled up over the winter can smother your grass, clog your flower beds, and delay new growth. That’s why spring cleanups are essential — especially for homeowners in Hackettstown and Morris County, NJ.
Here’s everything you need to know about the importance of spring yard cleanups — and how Landscaping by Boris can help.
Clear Away Winter Debris
New growth needs room to breathe. Winter leaves behind a mess of fallen branches, dead leaves, and even hidden trash that can smother your lawn and garden beds. A thorough spring cleanup:
Removes debris blocking sun and air
Prepares soil for healthier grass and plants
Helps prevent mold, mildew, and pest buildup
At Landscaping by Boris, we handle every detail — from raking and removal to bed edging and weeding — so you don’t have to lift a finger.
Promote Healthy Lawn and Plant Growth
A well-timed spring yard cleanup sets the stage for a lush, green lawn. Clearing the way for sunlight and moisture helps your grass “wake up” faster and grow stronger. Our expert team also applies pre-emergent weed control and assesses your lawn for damage or thinning areas early in the season.
Pair your cleanup with our lawn maintenance services to keep things growing beautifully all season long.
Stop Weeds Before They Start
Weeds thrive in messy, untended soil. Early spring is the best time to beat them before they become a problem. Our cleanup service includes:
Bed clearing and edging
Weed pulling and control treatments
Mulch refreshes to prevent regrowth
These steps keep your yard looking crisp and prevent you from playing catch-up all summer.

Whether you’re planning to entertain, sell your home, or just enjoy your outdoor space, nothing makes a difference like a clean, well-maintained yard. Spring cleanups are a fast way to:
Add instant beauty and freshness
Define beds and borders
Get your landscaping “camera ready”
