Spring and Fall Yard Clean Up Landscaping Services
If you let your lawn go to seed (so to speak), it would cost you around $1250 to get your 1,000 square-foot yard back in tip-top shape by laying new sod.
You could cut that price in half if you are willing to do the labor yourself, but that means a ton of lifting, bending, shoveling, and raking.
Retaining fall clean up services is one of the most cost-effective ways to maintain your lawn. Then once the snow melts, follow up with a spring clean-up service. This will ensure you are ready to show off your yard all summer long.
