Twice a year, Rangely yards need a reset. In spring, the snow pulls back to reveal flattened grass, wind blown trash, dead stems, and gravel scattered from the driveway into the lawn. In fall, leaves pile up, annuals die back, and anything left on the ground will sit under snow for months, smothering the grass and inviting mold.
One visit from our crew handles the whole list. We rake out lawns and beds, cut back spent perennials and ornamental grasses, pick up branches and debris, clear leaves out of corners and fence lines, and haul it all off. For landlords and businesses, a cleanup is the fastest way to make a property look cared for again. For homeowners, it’s one less weekend spent with a rake and a pile of yard bags.
We know what Rangely winters and windy springs leave behind, and we know where tumbleweeds and trash tend to pile up.
We bring rakes, blowers, trimmers, and trucks for hauling, so one visit takes the yard from messy to finished.
If your yard only needs a light touch, we quote a light touch, and we'll point out problems worth fixing later.
Every bag, branch, and pile of debris leaves with us, and we blow off walks and drives before we head out.
Rangely averages close to 30 inches of snow a year, and that snow doesn’t just sit politely on the lawn. It packs down, melts and refreezes, and leaves behind a crust of matted grass when it finally goes. Wind blows trash, tumbleweeds, and leaves into corners and against fences all winter long. Plows and shovels push gravel and sand onto lawns and into beds. By the time spring arrives, most yards need a thorough raking before anything can start growing well.
A spring cleanup lifts that matted grass so air and water reach the roots, clears out last year’s dead stems so new growth has room, and gets debris off the lawn before mowing season starts. It’s also the best time to spot winter damage to shrubs, sprinkler heads, and edging.
Fall is about getting the yard ready to sit under snow for months. Leaves left on the lawn form a wet mat that blocks light and can lead to snow mold, which shows up as gray or pink patches in spring. We rake and haul leaves, cut back perennials that won’t hold up through winter, and clear out spent annuals. Ornamental grasses can either be cut down in fall or left standing for winter interest, and we’ll do whichever you prefer. The last mow of the year usually happens during a fall cleanup, too.
Rangely is open, high desert country, and the wind moves a surprising amount of stuff around. Trash from roads and parking lots ends up in hedges. Kochia, the round weed that breaks off and rolls as a tumbleweed, piles up along fences and under decks. Leaves from neighboring yards drift into yours. On commercial lots and oilfield service yards, wind can also carry packaging, rags, and small debris into landscaped areas. A good cleanup gets all of it out, especially from the spots people tend to forget, like behind sheds, under steps, and along back fence lines.
Every yard is different, but most of our seasonal cleanups in Rangely include:
If your beds have thinned out after a few seasons, a cleanup is a great time to top them off, and our mulch and rock installation service can refresh them right after.
For landlords, a cleanup between tenants or at the change of seasons keeps a rental from looking neglected. A clean yard helps a listing, keeps neighbors happy, and makes it easier to see what needs repair. For businesses along Main Street and around town, a tidy front entry tells customers you take care of things. We can schedule cleanups on a regular spring and fall basis so you don’t have to remember to call. Shrubs that have gotten out of hand can be shaped back during the same visit with our bush and hedge trimming service.
Sometimes a cleanup turns up more than leaves and twigs. Old fencing, broken furniture, piles of scrap, or a downed tree limb that’s too big for yard bags are common finds behind sheds and along back lots. Our trucks can handle a good amount of extra debris, and for really big loads, debris hauling clears it out without you having to rent a trailer or make a dozen trips. We’ll tell you up front if anything we find needs special disposal so there are no surprises. Either way, you end up with a yard that’s clean all the way to the property line, ready for the season ahead.
We walk the property, note beds, lawns, debris piles, and problem corners, and ask what you want done this season.
You get a free quote covering raking, cutting back, debris removal, and haul-off, with any extra work listed separately.
We rake lawns and beds, cut back plants, clear fences and corners, and bag up everything we've gathered for removal.
We walk the finished yard with you, point out any winter damage we found, and haul all yard waste away.
