Spring cleanup after a Fort Wayne winter is about damage assessment and recovery as much as it is about tidying up the yard. Months of snow cover, freeze-thaw cycles, and de-icing residue take a toll on residential properties. Our spring cleanup service removes winter debris, identifies turf damage, clears salt buildup from walkway edges, and prepares your lawn for the first mow of the season.
Allen County's clay soil holds moisture long after the snow melts, which delays spring recovery and creates soft ground conditions that need to be respected. We time cleanup visits to soil conditions rather than calendar dates. Rushing cleanup on saturated clay soil causes compaction damage that hurts your lawn all season. When conditions are right, we clear everything out and get your mowing schedule started cleanly.

Branches, leaf remnants, and windblown material cleared from your entire property. Winter debris is hauled away so your lawn can begin recovering in clean conditions.
Visual assessment of turf areas for snow mold, crown hydration damage, and dead patches caused by winter conditions. Problem areas identified so they can be addressed early in the season.
De-icing salt residue along driveways, sidewalks, and walkway edges flushed and cleared to prevent ongoing damage to adjacent turf and planting beds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Lawn Care And Snow Removal can be complex, and we’re here to provide answers to common questions. Here are some frequently asked questions from our clients.
Fort Wayne sits in USDA Zone 5b with heavy clay soil and 33.6 inches of average annual snowfall. These conditions mean your lawn needs cool-season grass varieties like Kentucky bluegrass and tall fescue, while your property requires reliable snow clearing from late November through early March. A year-round service partner handles both seasons so your property stays maintained regardless of weather conditions.
We recommend weekly mowing from mid-April through October and on-call snow clearing services from November through March. During seasonal transitions in spring and fall, cleanup services bridge the gap between winter damage recovery and active growing season maintenance. This keeps your property looking sharp every month of the year.
Most residential lawn mowing visits take between 30 and 60 minutes depending on lot size and terrain. Snow clearing timelines depend on accumulation, but we prioritize getting your driveway, sidewalks, and entrances cleared within hours of snowfall so you can get to work safely. We work around Fort Wayne's 18 snow route priority system so residential areas get prompt attention.
Allen County's heavy clay soil compacts easily and drains poorly, which means lawns need regular attention to stay healthy. Compacted clay suffocates grass roots and creates standing water after rain or snowmelt. Proper mowing height, seasonal cleanup, and timely edging all help manage clay soil challenges specific to Fort Wayne properties.
We serve residential properties throughout Fort Wayne and surrounding communities including New Haven, Huntertown, Leo-Cedarville, Grabill, and Woodburn. Our tight service radius means faster response times for snow clearing and consistent scheduling for lawn mowing throughout the growing season.

Most residential clients are set up and on the schedule within a few days. We offer both seasonal contracts and individual service options depending on your needs.
Spring cleanup in Fort Wayne usually begins in mid-March once the ground thaws and snow has melted. The exact timing depends on winter severity. After a heavy snow year the clay soil stays saturated longer and we wait for conditions that allow cleanup without damaging soft turf.
Spring cleanup covers removal of winter debris, dead branches, and leftover leaf matter. We also assess for snow mold damage, de-icing salt residue near walkways, and areas where freeze-thaw cycles caused soil heaving. The goal is getting your lawn ready for the first mow of the season.
Yes. Fort Wayne's heavy snowfall combined with clay soil creates real problems including snow mold, crown hydration injury, and salt damage along driveways and sidewalks. Spring cleanup identifies these issues early so they can be addressed before the growing season gets underway.
Spring cleanup transitions directly into your regular mowing schedule. Once debris is cleared and the turf has dried enough for the first cut, we begin weekly mowing. Most Fort Wayne properties are ready for their first mow between mid-April and early May depending on spring weather conditions.
Start the growing season right. Schedule spring cleanup for your Fort Wayne property and transition smoothly into lawn care season.

They mowed our lawn all summer and cleared our driveway every time it snowed last winter. Not having to find a separate snow removal company was a huge relief. The crew always showed up when they said they would and our yard looked great from April straight through to the next spring.

I work early mornings and my driveway and sidewalk were always cleared before I left for the day. That matters when Fort Wayne gets hit with those overnight storms. Come spring they were right back out cleaning up and getting the lawn ready for mowing season. Best decision I made was going year-round with one company.
James T., New Haven

Our property is on a corner lot with a long sidewalk that Fort Wayne requires us to keep clear. They handle the sidewalk, the driveway, and our front entrance every snow event without us even calling. In summer the edging and mowing keep our corner lot looking better than it ever has. Reliable, professional, and they actually know what they are doing.
