Professional Spring Yard Cleanups & Lawn Dethatching
After a long Canadian winter, lawns and garden beds are often covered in matted leaves, dead twigs, mold, and general debris. Getting your yard ready for the summer season takes significant work. Our hardworking student team at CreekCare provides comprehensive Spring Clean Up services in Ottawa South Ottawa to revive your property and kickstart healthy grass growth.
One of the most important parts of a spring cleanup is dethatching. Thatch is a layer of dead grass tissue, roots, and organic matter that sits between the green blades and the soil. A thick thatch layer blocks air, water, and nutrients from penetrating the soil. We carefully power-rake or hand-dethatch your lawn to remove this layer, then rake and bag all dead grass and debris, preparing your lawn for healthy summer growth.
