After months of heavy snowfall, salt residue, and freeze-thaw cycles, Ottawa properties need a thorough spring reset. CleanYards gets your yard ready for the growing season across every neighbourhood.
From the Glebe's heritage perennial borders to Kanata's newer subdivision lawns, Ottawa's diverse properties each need a tailored spring cleanup approach that accounts for local conditions.
Ottawa's position as one of Canada's snowiest capitals means spring cleanup is more intensive here than most cities. Heavy snowmelt reveals salt-damaged turf edges, compacted debris, and broken branches from ice storms. Older neighbourhoods like Alta Vista and Rockcliffe have massive leaf volumes trapped under snow all winter, while newer areas in Orleans and Kanata deal with builder-grade lawns that compact easily under snow load. Our crews work systematically from bed cleanup through final blow-off, timing visits for when the ground is workable but before the growing season demands attention.

Ottawa's Rideau River corridor properties face spring flood debris and saturated soil, while the city's massive mature canopy drops heavy volumes of overwintered leaves and branches that need clearing before growth begins.
We run spring cleanup crews across Ottawa's major residential zones on scheduled routes. Volume booking means competitive pricing for Ottawa homeowners, and our familiarity with each neighbourhood speeds the work.
Ottawa's spring window is tight: snow typically clears by mid-April, but the growing season demands attention by early May. Book early to secure your spot before the rush.

This has been my first year with CleanYards and Sebastian. I have been more than pleased with the work he has done for me. The yard maintenance and the fall clean up have been done very well, much better than I could do myself. I look forward to next Spring when I can have Sebastian do more jobs for me.

Recently had new sod installed. Sebastien and Andre were friendly and helpful in helping me understand the work they would be doing, did a fantastic job, provided a helpful guide and an open channel of communication on advice for future care, and all at a good price. Would recommend Sebastien's business to anyone!

Common questions from Ottawa homeowners about our spring cleanup services.
Our Ottawa spring cleanup includes full garden bed clearing, edge redefinition, leaf and debris removal from lawns and hard surfaces, light pruning of winter-damaged shrubs, lawn raking, and complete debris haul-away. We address the specific post-winter damage each Ottawa neighbourhood faces, from salt-burned lawn edges in Centretown to heavy branch debris in Alta Vista.
Ottawa spring cleanup pricing depends on property size, canopy coverage, and debris volume. Compact urban lots typically run $150–$350, while larger suburban properties in Kanata or Barrhaven range $300–$600+. We provide free on-site estimates tailored to your specific post-winter conditions.
Yes! Beyond Ottawa, we also provide spring cleanup in Nepean, Barrhaven, Manotick and surrounding communities. Contact us to confirm service availability at your address.
The best time is as soon as the snow has fully melted and the ground is no longer frozen or saturated — typically mid-April through May in the Ottawa area. Booking early secures your spot before the busy season begins.
We run spring cleanup crews across Ottawa every day during the cleanup window and know what each neighbourhood needs. Our crews are equipped for everything from compact Glebe lots to multi-acre suburban properties, and we time our visits for when conditions are actually workable, not just when the calendar says spring.
