Spring Cleanup
Spring Cleanup in Morristown, TN
Clear out what winter left behind so the lawn and beds start the growing season clean.
Winter Leaves A Mess Behind
- Leftover leaves and sticks matted on the lawn
- Dead stems and grasses from last season
- Beds that have lost their shape and edges
In East Tennessee, spring cleanup usually happens from late February through April, once the ground is firm enough to walk on and before new growth takes off. The exact window shifts with the weather each year. Once the beds are cleared, fresh mulch helps hold moisture and keep weeds down.
Get The Timing Right For Plants
Many perennials and ornamental grasses are cut back in late winter or early spring, before new shoots come up, because cutting later can damage new growth. Spring is also one of the most common times to add fresh mulch once beds are cleared. Leaves that come down in autumn are covered on the fall cleanup page.
