Residential Spring Yard Clean-Up for Lake County Homeowners

Spring clean-up in Waukegan, IL is the process of removing winter debris and preparing your lawn and landscape for healthy growth. Our residential spring yard clean-up service clears leaves, dead grass, and debris left behind after winter so your property starts the season clean, neat, and ready to grow.

Evo Lawn & Landscape provides professional spring clean-up services for residential homes only throughout Waukegan and nearby Lake County communities.

What’s Included in Our Spring Clean-Up Service

Our spring clean-up service focuses on the core tasks homeowners need after winter — no unnecessary upsells, no skipped steps.

Leaf & Winter Debris Removal

We remove leaves, sticks, branches, and winter debris from:

  • Lawns

  • Landscape beds

  • Edges, walkways, and hard surfaces

All collected debris is hauled away, not left at the curb.

Lawn Dethatching (Power Raking)

Winter leaves behind a layer of dead grass (thatch) that blocks air, water, and nutrients.
Spring dethatching:

  • Helps the lawn “breathe”

  • Improves water absorption

  • Encourages new grass growth

This is a critical step for Waukegan lawns with clay-heavy Lake County soil.

First Mowing & Edging (If Needed)

If conditions allow, we perform:

  • The first seasonal mow

  • Trimming around obstacles

  • Edging along sidewalks, driveways, and beds

This jump-starts turf growth and immediately improves curb appeal.

Bed Edging & Bed Clean-Out

We clean out landscape beds and redefine edges so they’re ready for:

  • Spring planting

  • Mulch installation (if added later)

Clean edges make a big visual difference after winter.

Light Pruning & Trimming

We provide light pruning only, including:

  • Cutting back perennials and ornamental grasses

  • Removing dead or broken branches

  • Basic shrub touch-ups

(Heavy shrub shaping or tree trimming is not included in standard clean-ups.)

Spot Seeding for Bare Areas

If bare or thin areas are present:

  • We spot-seed as needed

  • Focused only on problem areas

This helps fill in damage from winter snow, ice, and foot traffic.

Final Yard Polishing

Before leaving, we:

  • Blow off patios, sidewalks, and driveways

  • Double-check beds and edges

  • Remove all debris from the property

Your yard is left clean, tidy, and spring-ready.

What’s NOT Included in Basic Spring Clean-Up

To keep pricing fair and transparent, these are not included unless requested separately:

  • Mulch installation

  • Lawn fertilization or weed control

  • Core Aeration

(Add-ons can be scheduled if needed.)

Spring Clean-Up Pricing In Waukegan, IL

Spring clean-up pricing depends on yard size, debris volume, and access.
Here’s what most Waukegan homeowners can expect:

  • Small yards: starting at $140–$160

  • Average suburban yards: typically $220–$250

  • Large or heavy debris yards: $250+ depending on labor and haul-away needs

Pricing reflects real Lake County conditions — older trees, winter leaf buildup, and clay soil.

Every property is different, so we provide custom quotes to ensure accurate pricing.

Why Spring Clean-Up Is Important in Waukegan

Waukegan lawns face unique challenges:

  • Heavy winter leaf accumulation

  • Snow mold and compacted turf

  • Clay-based soil that drains slowly

Skipping spring clean-up can lead to:

A proper spring clean-up sets the foundation for a healthier lawn all year.
