Why Spring Cleanup Matters in the Fraser Valley

Spring in BC can be wet and unpredictable. Without proper yard cleanup:

  • Weeds can quickly take over
  • Mold and lawn diseases thrive in moist debris
  • Your plants may struggle to grow in compacted, nutrient-poor soil
  • Curb appeal suffers — and so can your property value

💡 Think of spring cleanup as “resetting” your outdoor space for success.

  • Lawn had patchy areas and soggy debris
  • Shrubs were overgrown and covered in moss
  • Beds were full of last year’s weeds

✅ After Cleanup: The yard was clear, bright, and ready for new planting — instantly boosting curb appeal.
