What is included in Van Aken’s seasonal cleanup services?

Our seasonal cleanup services include complete leaf removal, dead plant and perennial cutbacks, garden bed clearing, shrub pruning, stick and storm debris removal, edge re-defining, and fresh mulch application to prepare your property for the upcoming season.

When should I schedule a spring cleanup in Southern Maine and the NH Seacoast?

Spring cleanups are typically performed between late March and May, as soon as the snow melts and the ground dries enough to prevent lawn damage. Early scheduling clears snow debris and winter buildup so grass and perennials can thrive.

When is the best time for a fall cleanup and leaf removal?

Fall cleanups generally take place from mid-October through late November. Removing fallen leaves and plant debris before the first heavy snowfall prevents lawn smothering, mold, and pest infestation over the winter.

Do you offer seasonal cleanups for commercial properties and HOAs?

Yes. We provide seasonal property preparation and cleanup contracts for residential homes, commercial complexes, HOAs, retail sites, and property management accounts.

Do you haul away the leaves and organic debris after the cleanup?

Yes. We gather, vacuum, and haul away all collected leaves, branches, and organic yard waste, leaving your turf and garden beds entirely clear and manicured.
