Homeowners know that the basic requirement for maintaining a yard is twice-a-year cleanups. In the spring your yard would benefit from weed removal, foliage trimming, and gutter cleaning. A fall clean-up should include leaf blowing, plant pruning, foliage trimming, and weed removal. Cleanups are a great option if you're planning on putting your house on the market and want to elevate your home's curb appeal and overall value.
