Yard Cleanup in Conway, PA

Yes, Garden Soon serves Conway for spring and fall yard cleanup — $175–$400 / $200–$500 for most Beaver County lots. Older industrial-era housing stock with modest lot sizes. We factor that in when scoping each cleanup job.

What we do in Conway

Spring and fall cleanups are different jobs, and we treat them that way. In spring, we're pulling out the damage from winter — dead annual stalks, matted leaves that smothered the grass, sticks and small branches from storms, and anything that got lodged in beds and corners over the cold months. We cut back ornamental grasses, blow out window wells and bed borders where leaves pack in, and run a blade edger along the bed lines to sharpen everything up. Timing matters in spring — we try to get cleanups done before soil temperatures hit 50°F, because that's when pre-emergent crabgrass control needs to go down, and matted debris under a lawn can delay that. Fall cleanups focus on volume. We're either mulch-mowing thin layers back into the turf or bagging and hauling heavy accumulation. We rake beds, remove spent perennial stems, define edges, and load the trailer. Western PA leaf volume from mature oaks and sycamores is not something you can just blow into a pile and mow over — it has to be managed.

For Conway specifically: older industrial-era housing stock with modest lot sizes. The railroad and river proximity historically shaped development density here. Many properties have mature trees that were planted decades ago and now significantly shade the lawn areas they once bordered.

What's included

When we leave, the lawn is uncovered and the beds are clean. You get a property that looks like it's been properly maintained — defined edges, clear turf, no debris packed against the house or fence. Beyond the visual, the real benefit is lawn health: turf that goes into winter without a smothering leaf mat breaks dormancy better in spring, with less thin patching and fewer areas where the grass simply didn't survive.

Our process

You pull up to a property in early November and the lawn is completely buried — you can't see a blade of grass anywhere. There are oaks along the back fence line that haven't finished dropping and a thick layer of wet maple leaves from two weeks ago plastered flat across everything. This is a haul job, not a mulch-mow job. We start at the back, running blowers to push the leaves toward the center of the lawn in rows we can load from. The wet ones peel up slow. We work through the beds next — raking out the accumulated leaf pack, getting down to the soil, pulling out the dead annual stems from summer. Then the edger comes out. Running a clean edge along a bed border after a full leaf cleanup is the moment a property goes from looking worked-over to looking sharp. It's a visible line that tells the eye the yard is under control. We load the trailer, blow down the driveway, and leave it cleaner than it's probably looked since September.

What this costs

Spring cleanup typically runs $175–$400 for a standard suburban lot. Fall cleanup runs $200–$500 for a single visit. What drives variation: lot size, number of mature trees, how heavy the accumulation is, and whether we need to haul debris or can leave bags for municipal pickup.

What should I know about yard cleanup in Conway?

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.

What happens to the lawn if leaves are left on it all winter?

A heavy leaf mat on the lawn over winter smothers the grass underneath — blocking light, trapping moisture, and creating conditions where turf crowns die off. When the mat finally comes off in spring, the lawn often has thin or dead patches where the coverage was thickest, typically along fence lines, under tree canopies, and in low areas where leaves collect. Those patches are then vulnerable to weed and crabgrass pressure when the growing season starts. In western PA where oak leaves persist late and can pile deep, this isn't a theoretical problem — we see the damage every spring.

Can you mulch-mow the leaves instead of removing them?

We mulch-mow when the leaf layer is thin enough to do it properly — a light covering that a mower can grind fine and return to the soil is actually good for lawn health. When the accumulation is heavier — an inch or more of wet, matted leaves — mulch-mowing doesn't work. The material clumps, smothers in place, and does the same damage as leaving the leaves on. We assess the volume when we arrive and make the call based on what's actually there, not a one-size approach.

Do you do a second fall cleanup visit later in the season?

Yes, and we recommend it for most properties in our service area. Western PA has a staggered leaf drop — Norway maples and sycamores go in October, oaks often hold into November — and one cleanup rarely captures everything. Our two-visit fall cleanup runs $350–$700 for the pair depending on lot size and tree cover. The first visit handles the main volume after peak drop; the second comes back after the late-dropping oaks finish. It's a more complete approach and the lawn goes into winter in better shape.

Cleanup is the surface — lawn care is the foundation

A cleanup resets how a yard looks, but the underlying turf condition going into winter — or coming out of it — depends on what happened in the soil all season. Compacted clay, missed grub control, and unaddressed pH issues show up in spring as thin patches and slow green-up that seasonal cleanup can't fix. A lawn care program addresses those causes across the growing season, so the next cleanup starts with turf that's actually in good shape to begin with.
