Professional cleaning to give you the best-looking yard on the block.
M&P Landscaping has been working on St. Louis County properties since 1995. 30+ years of experience has taught us that the timing of the work is as integral as anything else. Pre-emergent applications go down before the mulch. Reduction and structure pruning happen during dormancy, while shaping and regular pruning happen in June or early July when plants transition out of active growth. New plantings happen in the windows that give them the best chance of establishing.
Once we familiarize a crew with your property, they will return as long as you are signed up for services with us, which means they already know how your yard grows and what it needs before they arrive. Landscape maintenance and clean up visits are coordinated alongside mowing and landscape maintenance schedules so the timing of each service works together rather than in isolation.
At M&P Landscaping, our seasonal cleanups cover the full range of landscape maintenance needs, from recurring weeding and pruning visits to one-time interventions on properties that need a fresh start.
Spring cleanup is where the season starts. Our crews handle debris removal, perennial cutback, and bed edging before the growing season picks up. Properties that have fallen behind get a more intensive pass, with brush removal services and full clearing to bring neglected spaces back to a baseline where regular maintenance can take over.
Once the yard is set up for the season, periodic maintenance visits keep it looking its best through the growing months. These visits cover bed weeding, pruning, and general upkeep on a schedule that matches how your property grows. Shaping and regular pruning happen in June or early July as plants transition out of active growth. For overgrown yard cleanup services, we assess what the property needs and build a visit schedule that gets it back on track.
Our leaf removal services run from late October through mid-January with dedicated passes timed around city pickup dates or handled on your schedule using our curbside vacuum. Yards are cleared before the coldest months arrive.
St. Louis-area yards have distinct cleanup windows that shape the whole maintenance calendar. What happens in spring sets the yard up for the season, and what happens in fall determines how it comes back.
What does a professional spring cleanup include that I can’t do myself?
Most homeowners can handle debris removal and leaf cleanup, but the details that set a yard up for the season take more than a Saturday afternoon. Our crews redefine bed edges with a spade, cutting a 45-degree taper that holds mulch in place all season. Plant specific fertilizers, commercial grade weed pre-emergent, root stimulants and soil conditioners are all applied before the mulch goes down.
Is seasonal cleanup a one-time service or part of an ongoing maintenance contract?
Seasonal cleanup at M&P works both ways. Many of our clients have spring and fall cleanup built into their ongoing landscape maintenance contracts, as well as regular check-ins at pre-determined intervals, which means the work gets scheduled automatically alongside regular service visits. Homeowners who only need a one-time cleanup can book it as a standalone service.
Is my yard too far gone for a standard seasonal cleanup?
A yard is never too far gone for a cleanup. Most yards that have gone a few seasons without attention can be brought back with a more intensive cleanup that covers brush removal, reduction pruning, and heavier bed work than a routine seasonal visit would include. A free estimate is the best way to assess what the yard actually needs and figure out where to start.
