Spring and Fall Cleanups • Licensed and Insured • Everything Hauled Away
Leaves, storm debris, overgrown beds and winter dieback, cleared and taken away. We work across Richmond from Steveston to Hamilton, and we deal with the debris so it never has to fit in your Green Cart.
Richmond sits on the Fraser delta. Flat ground, silt and clay soil, a high water table and a network of drainage ditches. Cleanup here is a different job from cleanup on a sloped lot in the valley.
A full cleanup is a reset. We work through the whole property in the same order rather than tidying whatever is most visible.
Finishing with fresh mulch installation in Richmond is the usual next step once beds are clear, and it keeps the weeds down for the rest of the season.
Yard trimmings cannot go in your Richmond garbage. They belong in the Green Cart, in paper yard waste bags, or in a Green Can with the city decals, out at the kerb by 7:30 in the morning on your collection day.
That works well for routine tidying. It works far less well after a full cleanup, because the city sets limits on what it will take.
A season of bed clearing and storm debris does not fit those limits, and stacking it up for weeks of collections is nobody’s idea of a finished garden. We load it and take it, so the limits stop being your problem.
Rules change, so check the City of Richmond Green Cart program for the current details.
Leaves, weeds, prunings, hedge clippings, dead growth, branches and general garden debris, all loaded and hauled off site.
Larger limbs and whole tree removals are quoted separately, and we will tell you up front if a job needs that rather than folding it in quietly.
You do not need to have bags, a cart or space at the kerb. We turn up with the truck.
Most Richmond properties want two cleanups a year. The rest of the season is maintenance rather than a reset.
Clearing what winter left: matted leaves off the lawn, storm debris, dead growth cut back before new shoots come through, and moss dealt with while the grass is still weak. Doing it early is what gives the lawn a chance to fill in before summer.
The bigger job here, because of the leaf load. Getting leaves off the grass before they mat down is the single most useful thing you can do for a Richmond lawn, and clearing drains and ditch edges before the winter rain is what keeps water off the beds. Our leaf cleanup covers the leaf side in more detail.
We quote per property after seeing it rather than publishing a rate, because these four things are different at every address. The quote includes the haulage.
The area we are clearing, and how much of it is bed rather than open lawn. Beds take longer per square foot than grass.
A yard cleared last season is quicker than one that has had two years of growth on it.
What comes off the property drives the haulage, and it is usually the part people underestimate most.
Whether we can get a truck close, or everything has to come out through a side gate by barrow.
No waiting on collection days, no bundling to 3 ft by 2 ft, no bags stacked by the drive. It leaves on our truck the day we do the work.
Spring and fall are the busy windows and they fill. Book ahead and you get the cleanup when it is useful rather than a month after.
Fifteen years working across the Lower Mainland, on private gardens, strata grounds and commercial frontages.
We also handle tree pruning across the Lower Mainland.
Twice a year suits most properties, in spring and in fall. Fall is the bigger job because of the leaf load. A small low planted lot can often manage on one.
We take it. Richmond does not allow yard trimmings in the garbage, and a full cleanup produces far more than a Green Cart and a few paper bags will hold. Everything leaves on our truck the same day.
Yes. The city limits kerbside collection to bundles no bigger than 3 ft by 2 ft with branches under 4 inches across. We are not working to those limits. Whole tree removals are quoted separately.
Call in February or early March. Spring is our busiest window and it fills. Booking early gets the work done while it still helps the lawn recover.
It is the first step. Getting the matted leaves and moss off lets light and air back to the grass, which is often all a thin lawn needs. If bare patches remain we will tell you whether it needs seeding or whether drainage is the real problem.
We keep the ditch edge, drains and downpipe outlets on your property clear, which is what stops water backing up onto the beds. The ditches themselves are the city’s responsibility.
It depends on the size of the property, how long it has been, how much debris comes off and how easily we can reach it. We quote after seeing the yard, and the number includes haulage.
Yes. We handle grounds for strata councils and commercial sites across the Lower Mainland, on seasonal or year round schedules.
Tell us the address and roughly how long it has been. We will come and look, then send a written quote covering the clearing, the tidy up and the haulage, with nothing added afterwards.
