Book Your Fall Cleanup Early and Beat the Rush: Seasonal Prep with Golden Hands Landscaping
— Brought to you by Golden Hands Landscaping & Remodeling
As the warm days of summer begin to fade and the crisp air of autumn rolls in, many homeowners in the DMV area (Washington D.C., Maryland, Virginia) start noticing the first signs of seasonal change — leaves falling, gardens winding down, and lawns in need of care. That’s where Golden Hands Landscaping comes in. Fall Cleanup and Seasonal Preparation services are essential to keeping your property looking beautiful, healthy, and ready for the cooler months ahead.
If you’ve ever raked leaves until your back ached, or struggled to get your yard in order before the holidays, you’re not alone. That’s why we’re here to make the transition into fall as easy — and beneficial — as possible.
Why Fall Cleanup Is a Must
Fall Cleanup isn’t just about looks — it’s about protecting your investment in your home and landscape. Letting leaves, twigs, and organic debris pile up can lead to:
Blocked drainage and gutters
Fungus, mold, and disease
Pest nesting
Damaged turf and dying grass
More spring cleanup work (and cost)
A professional fall cleanup service helps eliminate these problems by thoroughly clearing debris, mowing as needed, edging, and preparing your landscape for the changing weather.
Seasonal Prep That Sets You Up for Spring
Fall is not just the end of the growing season — it’s the start of preparation for next year. When you work with Golden Hands Landscaping, we go beyond just clearing leaves. We offer full seasonal prep services, including:
Garden bed cleanup and edging
Tree and shrub pruning
Perennial cutbacks
Winter mulch application
Fall planting and sod installation
Fertilization and weed control
By prepping your landscape now, you’re giving it a strong, healthy foundation to thrive come spring.
💡 Pro Tip: We recommend scheduling your cleanup before the first frost — usually in late September through early November.
Beat the Rush — Book Early
The truth is, fall is one of our busiest seasons — and for good reason. Once those leaves start falling in September and October, everyone scrambles to get on the schedule before the first frost or snowfall.
