Spring and Fall Yard Clean Up in Providence
We clear the debris and leaves, cut back and edge the beds, top up the mulch and mow, then haul every load away, so the yard starts the season ready.
Free, no-obligation estimates. We answer the phone or call back the same working day.
Yard clean up in Providence
A yard clean up in Providence clears the debris and leaves, cuts back and tidies the beds, edges them and readies the lawn for the season coming next.
Think of it as a reset for the whole yard, done twice a year. Winter leaves sticks and matted litter in every corner, and fall buries the lawn and the beds under leaves; the clean up takes all of it out and puts the beds back in shape.
The difference shows. Defined beds, clean edges, weeds pulled and fresh mulch are what separate a finished yard from one that has only been mowed.
What a yard clean up includes
A yard clean up takes in debris removal, leaf removal, pruning, bed cleanup, bed edging, a mulch top-up and a first or last mow.
We set the visit to what your yard needs that season. Here is the work, item by item:
- Winter debrisfallen branches, sticks and storm litter picked off the turf and hauled off
- Leavesraked out of the lawn, from under the shrubs and along the fence line
- Shrub pruningdead and broken wood cut out, overgrown shrubs shaped back
- Clean bedsold stalks cut down, weeds pulled, the soil raked smooth
- Crisp edgesa "bed edger" cuts a groove in the soil where the lawn meets the bed
- Mulcha fresh top layer over the thin spots so the bed reads finished
- The mowthe opening cut of spring or the closing cut of fall, with the fence lines tidied as well
Spring clean up and fall clean up
A "spring clean up" clears out the winter's debris and readies the beds and lawn for growth, and a "fall clean up" clears the leaves and cuts the beds back before winter.
Here is how the two visits differ, side by side:
| Part of the yard | Spring clean up | Fall clean up |
|---|---|---|
| What comes out | Branches, sticks and the late leaves that sat under the snow | The season's leaves, raked and bagged off the lawn, out of the beds and out of the gutters |
| The beds | Raked clean, re-edged and topped up with mulch, ready for new growth | Cut back before winter, the old stalks down and carried off |
| The lawn | The first mow once the "cool-season grasses" start growing again | The last mow of the year, the turf left short and clear for winter |
Clearing the leaves before the snow matters for the grass as well as the look of the yard: the UMass Extension fact sheet on the snow molds explains the turf disease and how a fall cleanup reduces it.
How a yard clean up is priced
A yard clean up is priced by the size of the property, the volume of debris, and the beds and edging involved, with bed edging priced by the linear foot.

Neighbors on the work
Owners around Providence on our clean ups and the rest of the yard work, in their own words, from our Google reviews.
William has been taking care of our yard since the spring, and we couldn’t be happier. What began as a simple spring clean-up has turned into ongoing lawn and yard maintenance. He’s incredibly dependable, does meticulous work, and is an absolute pleasure to work with — not to mention very reasonably priced. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and detail-oriented landscaper in the area.
William was very professional from the start with clear communication and pricing. He removed 4 large, old shrubs and trimmed others, cleaned up the beds and edged the area. He also took away all the yard waste and left the area clean. Pleasant to work with; highly recommended
I've been using Mela Landscapes for a few months and they are by far the best landscapers I've used in the Providence area. They are dependable, do an amazing job, and are a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend them.

One-time clean ups and maintenance plans
A yard clean up is sold on its own or as part of a full maintenance program, and either works. Book the spring and fall visits as one-time seasonal jobs, or fold them into a scheduled plan with the mowing, edging and trimming on the recurring visits.
Leaf removal on its own
Leaf removal books as its own fall visit when the beds need no other work. We rake, bag and haul the leaves off lawns, out of the beds and out of the gutters, and skip the pruning and bed work.
