Spring Clean-Up

Spring in Stoughton is when everyone realizes what winter left behind. And it's usually not pretty. You've got dead leaves that got trapped under snow, branches that broke off during ice storms, matted grass that needs raking, and flower beds full of last year's plant debris.

Most people don't realize how much work a proper spring clean-up actually involves. It's not just raking a few leaves. You need to clear out all the dead stuff, prune back damaged plants, edge your beds, and get everything ready for new growth. This usually takes a full weekend if your doing it yourself - and that's assuming you have all the right tools and know what your doing.

We handle the whole thing. Our crew comes through and removes all winter debris, cleans up your beds, cuts back the dead perennials, and hauls everything away. We also check for any damage to your plants from the cold and salt that gets tracked in from the roads. Properties around the Stoughton High School area especially deal with salt damage from the main roads.

The goal is to get your property looking fresh and ready for spring by late April or early May. That way when your neighbors are still dealing with their winter mess, your property is already looking good.

Fall Clean-Up

Fall clean-up might actually be more work than spring, at least here in Stoughton. The trees around here don't mess around - oak, maple, and all those other deciduous trees drop what feels like a million leaves. And if you let them sit on your lawn all winter, you'll have dead patches come spring.

We usually start fall clean-ups in late October and run through November, depending on when the trees finally drop everything. Some property owners want multiple visits because the leaves keep coming. Properties near Bird Park or along Pleasant Street with lots of mature trees definitely need more than one clean-up.

Our fall service includes leaf removal (obviously), cutting back perennials that are done for the season, cleaning out gutters if you want, and making sure your beds are mulched properly for winter protection. We also take care of any branches or sticks that came down during fall storms.

A lot of people ask if they can just mulch the leaves with their mower. You can do that with a light layer, but when you've got inches of leaves like we get here, mulching doesn't work. The leaves just mat down and kill the grass underneath.

Bi-Weekly Weeding

Here's something nobody tells you about owning property in Massachusetts - the weeds grow faster than anything you actually want to grow. You pull them on Saturday, and by the next Saturday there's more. It's exhausting.

Bi-weekly weeding means we come every two weeks during the growing season (roughly May through September) and pull or treat the weeds in your beds, walkways, and anywhere else they're popping up. This stays ahead of the problem instead of letting it get out of control.

The thing about weeds is they spread fast. One dandelion turns into fifty. Crabgrass takes over bare spots in your lawn. Those little maple seedlings pop up everywhere if you don't get them early. And certain weeds like poison ivy which we see alot around here are actually dangerous.

When we're weeding every two weeks, your beds stay clean and your plants have room to grow. We're not just yanking stuff out either. We make sure to get the roots so they don't come right back. For really stubborn weeds in walkways or between pavers, we use targeted treatments that won't hurt your other plants.

Properties around the center of town near the train station tend to have more weed issues because of all the foot traffic spreading seeds. We also see more weeds in yards that get alot of sun and have areas where the grass is thin.
