Spring Cleanup Services in Kelowna

What our customers are saying

As Spring approaches here in Kelowna, the last thought on your mind is probably to prep your yard in early spring after that last frost. It’s still cold out, why would you want to face your unruly garden in sub 10° weather? Fortunately for you, our Jim’s Mowing Franchisees will be active and operating early enough for you to stay inside the warmth and comfort of your own home while still achieving a beautiful look for your home yard.

Well, aside from the elation that a beautiful garden, lush green lawn, and manicured trees can bring you, a proper spring cleanup will help clear winter debris and clutter that might have built up, as well as create a healthy environment that is optimal to promote a robust ecosystem for your yard. Here in Kelowna, the winter can bring with it a ton of debris that will need to be cleared up to give your garden a healthy start to the season.

Here is a general guide for what to look for in your spring cleanups.

Being the centerpiece of your yard, the health of this is crucial to having a presentable home and a successful spring cleanup. Here in Kelowna, can be damage that has accumulated during the winter, so your lawn might need a face lift.

If wildlife (or your kids, if that isn’t the same thing) caused heavy traffic over certain areas of your lawn, you can use topsoil, grass seed and fertilizer to spot-heal these areas. You should also remove any debris that has accumulated over the winter that can create bare spots. Lastly, at Jim’s Mowing BritishKelowna we would recommend a fertilizer and lime treatment for the whole lawn. Fertilizer is your lawn food to help your grass grow as strong as possible. Lime helps with your lawns pH levels if your lawn is more acidic.

When it is below a certain pH level, the acidity of your lawn prevents it from accessing the nutrients from your fertilizer, and with such heavy rainfalls here in Kelowna, your lawn can become too acidic fairly quickly. Basically, your results will not even be half as good without the lime treatment as your lawn might be too acidic to receive any benefit from the fertilizer. If you do these steps for your spring cleanup, you’ll be on your way to having a lawn your neighbors will drool for.

In Kelowna, perennial hedges are bountiful! Perennials are plants that live more than two years. This means we’re talking about your trees, shrubs, and other large plants in your garden. So what do you need to look for during a spring cleanup of your perennials.

First, you’ll want to remove any dead, dying or diseased branches. This will eliminate visual clutter, as well as enable the tree to get more light and distribute water and nutrients from the soil more easily to the live branches. Second, you’ll want to lift or remove any branches that are obstructing pathways, laneways and roadways. This will not only protect passersby from walking into branches, but it will protect you from getting a complaint from your city.

You’ll mostly be looking to clear back dead debris, or in the case of smaller perennials, you will be cutting them back to reset them for new spring growth.
