What is the average cost of a spring cleanup service in Moncton NB?

Spring cleanup service in Moncton costs $200 to $500 for a standard residential property, with most homeowners paying $250-$400 for a thorough post-winter cleanup. This is one of the most essential seasonal services in New Brunswick, where 250-300cm of annual snowfall leaves behind months of accumulated debris, sand, salt, and winter damage that needs clearing before the growing season can begin.

A standard spring cleanup package in Moncton typically includes raking and removal of dead leaves, branches, and debris from lawn areas and garden beds; clearing out winter sand and salt deposits along driveways, walkways, and curb edges; cutting back dead perennial stems and ornamental grasses from the previous season; an initial inspection of garden beds for winter damage; dethatching or power raking the lawn to remove dead grass buildup; edging along beds, walkways, and driveways; and a first mow if the grass has started growing.

Pricing depends on property size, the volume of debris, and the condition of garden beds. A small Moncton property under 3,000 square feet of lawn with minimal garden beds may cost $200-$300. A larger property with 5,000+ square feet of lawn, multiple garden beds, and significant winter debris can run $400-$500 or more. Properties that didn't receive a fall cleanup tend to cost more in spring, since a full season of unraked leaves, plus winter debris, creates much more work.

Several Moncton-specific factors affect spring cleanup timing and cost. The city's Zone 5a-5b climate means snow typically clears by early to mid-April, but soils stay saturated and soft for 2-3 weeks after snowmelt. Walking on or raking waterlogged soil compacts it and damages grass crowns, so most landscapers schedule spring cleanups for late April through mid-May, when the ground has firmed up enough to work on without causing harm. The narrow window between soil drying and grass starting to grow creates high demand, so booking early — ideally in March — ensures you get your preferred timing.

Spring cleanup also serves as an important assessment opportunity. Your landscaper should flag any winter damage to plantings, hardscaping (frost-heaved pavers or cracked retaining walls), and lawn areas affected by snow mould, ice encasement, or vole damage. Identifying these issues early gives you time to plan and budget for repairs before the full growing season hits.

Many Moncton lawn care companies offer spring cleanup as part of a seasonal package that includes weekly mowing, fertilization, and fall cleanup, often at a 10-15% discount compared to booking each service individually. A full-season package including spring cleanup, weekly mowing, 4 fertilizer applications, and fall cleanup typically runs $1,500-$3,000 in the Moncton area.
