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
These aren't rare events--they're the industry standard. Finding a provider with actual systems is harder than it should be.
TotalGuard operates with documented processes. Here's how each one works.
Clear all winter leaves, sticks, and branches from lawn, beds, and hardscapes
Remove dead grass layer for better air, water, and nutrient penetration
Cut back perennials and refresh mulch for a polished look
Redefine bed edges and borders for clean, crisp lines
First cut of season at proper height to encourage dense growth
All debris bagged and removed—nothing left behind
Schedule in February-March before the spring rush. We'll lock in your spot on our rotation.
We monitor conditions and schedule your cleanup once ground thaws and dries—typically mid-April in Dane County.
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.
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.
Most Madison, Middleton, Waunakee, and Sun Prairie properties range from $200-$500 for complete spring cleanup. Wisconsin's spring window is short—schedule early to ensure your property is ready when growing season hits.
Larger lots require more time
Heavy debris = more labor
Mulch refresh, aeration, fertilization
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.
