No time for weekend yard work when the snow finally melts
Those who want the best possible start to the growing season
Need to catch up before the damage becomes permanent
First impressions matter—curb appeal starts with a clean yard
What most spring cleanup providers get wrong — and how TotalGuard operates differently.
Full-property winter recovery — from damage assessment to season-ready lawn.
We catalog winter kill, frost heave, salt burn along sidewalks, broken branches, and any new drainage issues from snowmelt.
Fallen branches, dead foliage, matted leaves, and road sand cleared from all lawn areas, beds, hard surfaces, and foundation plantings.
All bed borders re-cut with a power edger. Frost heave pushes edges out of shape every winter — this resets them.
Dead perennial tops cut to 2-4" (leaving crowns intact). Early weeds pulled before root systems establish. Ornamental grasses cut back hard.
Matted, snow-molded grass raked to restore air circulation. Bare spots flagged for overseeding at the right soil temperature.
Written list: when to start mowing, what’s coming in the fertilizer program, and any repairs/upgrades your property needs this year.

We clear debris, dethatch, cut back perennials, edge beds, and complete first mow—all in one visit.
Your property is primed for Wisconsin's short but productive growing season.
Real transformations from real Madison-area properties. No stock photos.
Wisconsin weeds like crabgrass and dandelions germinate early. A March-April cleanup lets you apply pre-emergent treatment before weed seeds sprout—giving your lawn a head start.
Dane County's freeze-thaw cycles push debris into lawns and compact soil. Dethatching and debris removal helps your grass recover from 5 months of Wisconsin winter.
Madison's growing season is only about 150 days. Early spring cleanup means your lawn is actively growing by May—not still recovering while neighbors' lawns thrive.
We know you've been burned by lawn guys who don't show up or deliver inconsistent results. Here's how we're different:
While other companies are still booking, we're already working. Early scheduling means your lawn starts recovering weeks ahead of neighbors.
We don't just rake and leave. Beds, borders, hardscapes, lawn—everything gets attention. Your whole property looks refreshed.
We monitor soil conditions and schedule when the ground is dry enough to work without compaction damage. No rushed jobs on soggy lawns.
Spring cleanup is just the start. We'll recommend what your lawn needs next—aeration, fertilization, or regular mowing—to keep momentum going.
