Ottawa Fall Cleanup: Prepare Your Yard for Winter
Clear autumn leaves, winterize garden beds, and protect your Ottawa property before the first snowfall. Professional fall cleanup services.
Clean Up Now, Protect All Winter Why Fall Cleanup Matters for Ottawa Properties
Ottawa's mature canopy drops thousands of leaves each autumn. Left on your lawn, those leaves smother grass, harbour snow mould, and create a soggy mess that damages turf by spring.
A professional fall cleanup by CleanYards Landscaping gives your Ottawa property the protection it needs heading into winter. We clear every leaf, winterize garden beds, cut back perennials, and prep your lawn so it emerges healthy when the snow melts. Investing a few hours now saves costly repairs and replanting come spring.
Complete Leaf Removal
Thorough collection and removal of fallen leaves from lawns, beds, and hard surfaces, preventing snow mould and turf damage over winter.
Winter-Ready Beds
Garden bed winterizing with perennial cutback and cleanup preps your plantings for dormancy and protects roots from freeze damage.
Healthier Spring Lawn
Clearing fall debris and giving the lawn a final mow at the right height reduces disease pressure and promotes stronger spring regrowth.
Prevent Costly Damage
Neglected fall cleanup leads to snow mould, pest harbourage, and dead patches that cost more to fix than preventing. Protect your investment now.
