Spring Yard Cleanup Guide for Miramichi Properties

Why order matters

Spring cleanup goes twice as fast when you work top-down and inside-out. Cleaning gutters after mulching just dirties the beds again; mowing before edging makes the edges look ragged. The sequence below is the one our Miramichi crews use.

Step-by-step sequence

Follow this order on most Miramichi yards. Adjust for slope, fencing, and any winter damage that needs repair first.

• Pick up large debris, branches, and winter litter
• Clear eavestroughs, downspouts, and roof valleys
• Rake leaves and dead grass off lawn and beds
• Prune dead growth from shrubs and perennials
• Edge beds and walkways
• Top up mulch and clean up bed lines
• First mow on a high setting
• Haul away all bagged debris and brush

When to book your cleanup

Most Miramichi homeowners are ready between mid-April and mid-May — once the ground has firmed up and the lawn isn't muddy. Booking earlier gets you in before the rush; we publish our spring schedule in mid-March.

DIY vs hiring it out

A full spring cleanup is a full weekend for one homeowner with a tarp and a rake. Our two-person crew is usually done in half a day and hauls everything away the same day, which is the part most homeowners would rather skip.
