You will know a yard needs a full clean-up when the grass is beyond a single pass of the mower, weeds have gone to seed, hedges are pushing over fences and paths, and debris is piling up in corners. If parts of the yard are simply unusable, it is time.
The grass is beyond one mow
If the lawn is knee-high or needs more than one pass to cut, a normal mow will not be enough. A clean-up usually involves a high first cut and a lower second one.
Weeds have gone to seed
Flowering and seeding weeds in lawns, beds and paths mean next season's problem is already underway. A clean-up deals with the weeds before they spread.
Hedges and shrubs are overgrown
Branches pushing over fences, paths and driveways, blocked windows and lost shape are signs your hedges need attention.
Debris and rubbish are piling up
Piles of leaves, branches, old pots, timber and green waste that you no longer have room for or time to deal with are a clear signal.
Parts of the yard are unusable or unsafe
If you cannot reach parts of the yard, see the ground, or you worry about snakes and trip hazards, it is time.
It is stressing you out
If the yard has become a source of stress or embarrassment, a reset can be a relief. It often takes less time than you expect.
