Yes, Garden Soon serves Moon Township for spring and fall yard cleanup — $175–$400 / $200–$500 for most Allegheny County lots. Predominantly suburban residential in the developed sections — a mix of 1970s through 2000s subdivisions with varying lot sizes. We factor that in when scoping each cleanup job.
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 Moon Township specifically: predominantly suburban residential in the developed sections — a mix of 1970s through 2000s subdivisions with varying lot sizes. The township's large area includes everything from compact airport-corridor townhomes to larger single-family lots in more elevated residential sections. Commercial adjacency is a consistent theme throughout.
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.
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.
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.

Rolling to moderately hilly terrain with substantial variation across the township's large area. Subdivision lots in the developed sections are mostly manageable, but properties near the township's edges and some of the hillside residential areas have more pronounced slopes. Airport-area commercial zones create interesting adjacency situations for some residential lots. We adjust our equipment and approach based on what's actually there.
No, you don't need to be home for us to do the cleanup. As long as we have access to the areas we're working — back yard gate unlocked, no dogs left out — we can do the full job and send you a message when we're done. Most of our customers aren't home when we come. If there's anything specific about your property we should know, just tell us when you book.
Yes, and for fall cleanup this is often the right call. Waiting for every tree to drop before scheduling means you're often waiting until late November, which can push into cold, wet conditions that make the job harder and the scheduling tighter. We'd rather clean up the main volume from maples and sycamores in late October and come back for a second pass after the oaks let go than try to do one perfect cleanup that never comes because there are always a few leaves still holding on.
Yes, bed cleanup and edging are included in our standard cleanup visits — they're not an add-on you have to request separately. We rake beds clear, remove spent stems, and run a blade or stick edger along all bed borders. Edging is often the single thing that makes the biggest visual difference on a property, and we do it as part of every cleanup. If you want bed edging as a standalone service without a full cleanup, we can do that too for $85–$175 depending on the linear footage.
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.
We offer the following additional services in Moon Township — most customers who do seasonal cleanup eventually add one or more of these:
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.
One-time reclamation for neglected or jungle properties. We bring equipment rated for heavy material and haul everything out.
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.
