When to Do Spring Yard Clean Up in Washington

Most homeowners in Washington schedule spring yard clean up when the yard dries out and the first real growth starts. If you're dealing with winter debris or storm mess, you can do the cleanup earlier. If you're planning mulch or pruning, it often makes sense to do those right after the cleanup, not weeks later.

For many yards, the best timing is:

  • Late Feb–Mar

    Debris pickup, leftover leaves, first cut if needed

  • Mar–Apr

    Shrub pruning, bed cleanup, edging

  • Apr–May

    Mulch refresh, regular mowing rhythm

Weather tip

If rain is stacked up, aim for the first 2-day dry window. Working on wet grass can damage your lawn and make cleanup harder.

Thank you Mr Cortez!! Would you'd you also give me an estimate for mulch on all the beds? I'd prefer dark brown or black.

Very quick and got front yard done within hours of me booking my lawn mowing service. However, they did not provide photos of backyard and did not confirm completion of backyard. I feel I paid for full service but only recieved half the job.
