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.
