Cleanups
Spring cleanups from $300. Fall cleanups clear the leaves that invite snow mold.
About This Service
After six months under snow, Anchorage lawns come out matted, gray, and covered in plow gravel. A spring cleanup gets air and light back to the grass so it greens up. Full spring cleanups start at $300. Fall cleanups take the wet leaves off before they sit under snow.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s included in a spring cleanup?
Raking out matted grass and snow mold, removing leaves, sticks, and gravel the plows left behind, clearing beds, edging, and hauling debris. Add a first mow and fertilizer to get a head start. Full cleanups start at $300.
When should I book a spring cleanup?
As soon as the snow is off the lawn and the ground has firmed up. Spots fill quickly once breakup starts, so get on the list in March.
What does gray snow mold look like, and can you fix it?
Bleached, matted patches or white web-like growth right after snowmelt. A good raking lets air in and the grass usually recovers. In the fall, keeping the last mow short and avoiding heavy nitrogen after mid-September helps prevent it.
