Seasonal in Lake San Marcos, CA.
Seasonal for Lake San Marcos homes, done by licensed San Diego County landscapers. SD does not get a real winter, but it does have seasons that matter, spring green-up (February-March), fall reset (October-November), and the one-off resets for overgrown, neglected, or post-storm properties. We handle both the scheduled seasonal push and the one-time cleanup that gets a property back to baseline.

When should I schedule spring cleanup in SD?
Mid-February through mid-March is the window. Pre-emergent for crabgrass and spurge needs to go down by late February, and heavy pruning before the April flush gets best results. Earlier than mid-February is also fine for a front-loaded year.
How is a yard-reset cleanup different from weekly maintenance?
A one-time yard reset is deeper, brush-cutter mow-down on anything over 10", full weed pull to bare soil, debris haul, and vine/ivy pullback. Weekly maintenance is the routine that keeps the yard from getting bad again. Most customers book a reset first, then set up weekly or bi-weekly service.
