Yard Cleanup in Industry, PA

Yes, Garden Soon serves Industry for spring and fall yard cleanup — $175–$400 / $200–$500 for most Beaver County lots. Industrial-era housing stock on modest lots is the defining character of the borough. We factor that in when scoping each cleanup job.

What we do in Industry

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 Industry specifically: industrial-era housing stock on modest lots is the defining character of the borough. Properties tend to be small to moderate in size with straightforward layouts. Mature shade trees are common, and the combination of clay soil and heavy shade means some lawn areas are chronically thin.

What's included

Spring cleanups emphasize debris removal from winter — matted leaves, dead annual stalks, ornamental grass cutback, and bed edging to redefine borders after the freeze-thaw season. Fall cleanups are primarily about leaf volume management — bagging or mulch-mowing turf leaves, clearing beds, cutting back spent perennials, and edging. Spring cleanup is about uncovering the lawn. Fall cleanup is about protecting it going into winter.

Our process — step by step

Spring cleanup sequence: We walk the property first to assess debris load and note any areas where matting is severe. Then we blow out all beds, window wells, and corners where leaves have packed in over winter. We pull dead annual stalks and cut back ornamental grasses. We run a blade edger along all bed borders. Sticks and branch debris go into the trailer. Remaining leaf material is either mulch-mowed or bagged depending on volume. Final blowdown of hard surfaces and we're done.

Fall cleanup sequence: We start with a blower pass to move leaves off beds and turf edges to the center of open lawn areas. If the leaf layer is thin — under an inch or so — we mulch-mow it into the turf. If it's heavier, we bag it or load the trailer directly. Beds get raked out, spent perennial stems get cut back, and we run the edger along bed lines. Final pass with blowers to clean driveways and walkways. Leaf bags are left at the curb for municipal pickup or hauled if the customer needs it.

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 Industry?

Flat to gently sloping river terrace with minimal dramatic grade changes on most residential lots. Standard riding equipment handles most properties efficiently. River-facing lots may have access constraints near the bank, and street parking is limited on some of the older narrow streets. We adjust our equipment and approach based on what's actually there.

How much does yard cleanup cost?

Spring cleanup typically runs $175–$400 and fall cleanup runs $200–$500 for a standard suburban lot in our service area. The main factors are lot size, how many mature trees you have, how heavy the accumulation is, and whether we need to haul debris or can leave bags for municipal pickup. We give you a price range before we start so there are no surprises.

What's the difference between spring and fall cleanup?

Spring cleanup is about uncovering the lawn after winter — removing matted leaves, dead stems, sticks, and debris that accumulated over the cold months, plus cutting back ornamental grasses and re-edging beds. Fall cleanup is primarily a leaf volume problem — getting heavy accumulation off the turf before it smothers the grass going into winter, cleaning out beds, and cutting back spent perennials. Both visits include bed edging and blowdown of hard surfaces, but the work and the timing are different for each.

When should I schedule fall cleanup?

The best window is after the main leaf drop but before a hard freeze sets in — in western PA that's typically late October through mid-November for most neighborhoods. Because oaks hold their leaves later than other trees, many of our customers do two visits: one after the main drop from maples and sycamores, and a second after the oaks finish. Waiting until every leaf is down often means waiting too long, and doing it too early means you'll have a second layer come down right after.

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.
