Fall Clean Up Calgary and Edmonton
Why is it important to clean up your lawn?
The clean-up done in your yard in the fall is essential for preparing your lawn for the big winter freeze approaching in Calgary and Edmonton. We know what to expect from our climate, so taking steps to prepare your lawn for a healthy period of “shutdown” during the snow and ice will mean that, come the spring, it’s ready to get growing again!
At Yardworx, we can do the heavy lifting so that you get to enjoy your weekends or look after other responsibilities. We’ll manage the necessary raking, cutting, and aeration that your lawn needs before the temperatures plummet.
Our experience with creating pristine lawns in the warmer months starts in the fall. Use our years of lawn expertise to get your yard in shape for the long winter months ahead. We can even clean up your yard if it is hardscaped, with no lawn!
A lawn that is neglected in the fall will not be magically ready for growth in the spring. To ensure a healthy lawn come April or May, the clean-up work we do in September or October becomes very important.
This includes a final cut, raking leaves to allows your grass to breathe and grow roots, and aerating your lawn. We know how harsh Calgary and Edmonton winters are.
Unless you give your lawn a final trim, take care of the fall leaves, and provide your lawn with the means to access the nutrients it needs before going dormant for the season, it could be in sorry shape when the warmer weather arrives.
A little fall maintenance can also make sure that your lawn irrigation system switches on again without problems when it’s needed in the spring.

Our Pricing

What’s Included in Our Fall Yard Clean Up Packages
Cutting your grass in the fall is not simply a case of doing the same as you did in the spring or summer.
The final cut of the year for your lawn should be with the shortest mower setting available.
This allows more sunlight to reach the base of the grass and ensures that less of the blade is exposed to turn brown during our long winters.
Fall leaves look pretty on your trees but they can do real harm to your lawn.
They can encourage disease and preventing evaporation (they will effectively “choke” your lawn).
Fallen leaves need to be raked off before they get wet, stick together, encourage mould and fungus, and become more difficult to remove.
Grass clippings and leaves must be thoroughly removed from your lawn before the first snowfalls.
If not, leaves and debris will form a virtually impenetrable barrier that will suffocate the grass and form a breeding ground for fungal diseases.
Our fall packages include 2 bags of debris removal.

Other Fall Services
Fertilization & weed control
Lawn fertilization is a vital process.
This entails feeding your lawn the nutrients it needs so that it can thrive and controlling weeds that could compromise the quality of your lawn.
In the fall, when plants store nutrients in the roots for the dormant season, fertilization will bring health and hardiness to your lawn in preparation for the freezing winter months.
Fall/winter tree pruning
Fall and winter tree pruning is also recommended by our certified arborist to help maintain the health of your trees and shrubs.
Regular pruning minimizes the risk of broken limbs and falling branches. A properly pruned tree will have fewer diseases and even growth though the requirements vary from species to species and need expert management for the best results.
Irrigation shut down
Available for both residential and commercial properties in Calgary.
You will need to shut down your irrigation system before the winter and blow the air out of the lines before any water gets a chance to freeze during our icy winters here in Calgary.
Frozen irrigation lines can burst during our cold winters and lead to costly repairs in the spring.
