Spring Clean 2015

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAThe official first day of Spring is almost here! Soon, the early Spring bulbs will be revealing their heads telling us Spring has sprung! The melting snow has uncovered all the debris that has accumulated on our lawns and in our landscape beds. The warmer weather calls for outdoor activities like baseball, bike riding, BBQ’s and Spring Cleaning.

Let Total lawn Care take over some of your chores by doing a Spring Clean of your landscape so you can get on with the fun stuff. With a basic Spring Clean we will remove any annuals and perennials from last fall, clear out all debris from your lawn and landscape beds, mow the grass and trim the edges. All the debris is brought back to our facility and recycled into compost.

If you really want to make your landscape sparkle, we can trim your shrubs, prune out winter damage, install mulch and prepare your beds for Summer annuals. If you forgot to clean your gutters last Fall, we can do that too. One company to handle multiple jobs makes it very easy to make your landscape the star of the neighborhood.
