Yes, Garden Soon takes on overgrown cleanups in Conway, Beaver County — $350–$650 for most suburban lots with moderate neglect. The Ohio River moderates extremes — last frost is typically early April and first frost mid-October. Climate conditions like that are exactly what we account for when estimating a reclamation job.
When we arrive at a heavily overgrown property, the first thing we do is walk it. We're looking for what's hiding in the vegetation — rocks, drain covers, irrigation heads, old wire, buried edging, hoses, stumps — anything that will destroy a blade or throw debris at 200 mph. Only after that sweep do we start cutting, and we don't start at finish height. On grass or weeds that are knee-to-waist high, we make a first pass at the highest deck setting using a brush mower or string trimmer to knock everything down. Then we lower the deck in stages. Trying to go from three-foot weeds straight to a 3.5-inch finish cut in one pass will bog down the engine, scalp the crowns, and leave you with a mess. We work through the property in sections, and as material is cut we're loading it. A badly neglected half-acre suburban lot can fill a trailer twice over before we're done. Haul-away is part of what we do — we don't leave a pile at the curb and call it finished.
For Conway specifically: the Ohio River moderates extremes — last frost is typically early April and first frost mid-October. High humidity along the river corridor promotes fungal pressure during hot August stretches, particularly in areas with limited air circulation.
When we're finished, you have a usable yard again. Property lines become visible. You can walk the entire lot. If there's a fence, you can see it. The driveway and sidewalks aren't bordered by a wall of vegetation. What you have at that point is a clean baseline — a property you can hand off to a regular maintenance crew, start mowing yourself, or bring us back to maintain on a schedule. Getting to that starting point is what the overgrown cleanup delivers.
We pull up to a property that's been sitting and the first thing you notice is how quiet it is inside that vegetation. It's dense. You can't see the ground. You don't know what's down there until you start moving through it. That's why the walk-through matters — we've found everything from buried concrete blocks to coiled garden hose to the kind of wire fencing that wraps around a spindle and stops a machine cold. Once we've confirmed what we're working with, we start at the tallest setting and work our way through in sections. The brush mower handles the heavy stuff. The string trimmer gets into areas the mower can't reach — along foundation walls, inside fence corners, around any objects we've identified in the sweep. As material comes down, it gets loaded. We're not waiting until the end to deal with the debris. By midday, a property that looked impenetrable in the morning starts to show its shape again. By the time we blow the hard surfaces and load the last of the trailer, you can see property lines you couldn't find a few hours earlier. That transformation is the whole point of what we do.
Most suburban overgrown cleanups in our service area run $350–$650 for a quarter- to half-acre lot with moderate neglect. Severely overgrown properties or larger lots typically run $700–$1,400 or more. We can't give you an accurate number without seeing the property — the range is too wide. Every quote is based on a site visit.

Flat to gently sloping river terrace for most of the borough, with minimal grade change on the majority of residential lots. Equipment access is generally straightforward, though narrow older streets and limited off-street parking affect staging on some blocks. We adjust our equipment and approach based on what's actually there.
Properties neglected for one or two seasons typically get to a finished state in one visit. Properties that have been sitting three or more years, or where heavy invasive vegetation has taken over, more often need two visits — a first visit to knock everything down and haul the bulk of the debris, and a follow-up a week or two later to recut at finish height and clean up what the first pass exposed. We'll tell you at the site visit which situation you're in.
Possibly, and it's worth planning for it. Cutting down heavily overgrown vegetation exposes bare soil, and that bare soil is a prime window for weed germination — meaning whatever seeds blow in will have an easy place to root. Depending on the time of year, we'll recommend either overseeding to establish turf before weeds move in, or applying a pre-emergent to hold the ground. Overseeding is not included in the cleanup quote but is a service we offer separately.
Yes. Once we've brought a property back to a maintainable state, we can set up ongoing mowing on a regular schedule. A lot of our maintenance clients started as overgrown cleanup jobs. Getting the first cut right is what makes regular maintenance straightforward going forward.
When we clear an overgrown area — tall grass, dense brush, a property that's been sitting a season or two — we regularly find evidence of what was living in it. Ticks nest in leaf litter and tall grass. Ground wasps build colonies in undisturbed soil. Spiders take over dense vegetation, and rodents use thick ground cover for shelter. Once the habitat is gone, those populations don't disappear — they relocate toward the nearest structure. A perimeter barrier spray in the weeks after a major cleanup addresses that displacement directly.
Once a property is cleared and back to a manageable state, keeping it there is what regular mowing is for. Most properties coming out of an overgrown cleanup need two to three weeks before they can go on a standard mowing schedule — the ground needs to firm up and the remaining turf needs to stabilize. When that window passes, a consistent mowing schedule is what prevents the same situation from developing again.
Once the property is cleared, here's what we can take on in Conway for ongoing maintenance:
Year-round turf health — fertilization, weed control, grub prevention, and winterizer timed to the western PA growing season.
Weekly or biweekly mowing with edge trimming and blowdown. We cut at the right height for cool-season turf and adjust for growth rate.
Spring and fall cleanup — leaf removal, debris, bed edging, ornamental cutbacks, and disposal.
Family- and pet-safe perimeter spray applied around the home exterior — foundation band, entry points, and window frames.
Vegetable garden design, site assessment, planting plans, and seasonal coaching.
