Winter debris clearing
Vineyard winters bring heavy winds that scatter branches, pine needles, oak leaves, and salt crust across properties. We rake lawns, clear beds, blow walkways, and haul away debris to allow sunlight to reach the soil.

Spring Cleanup Martha's Vineyard
Wake up your property for the spring. We clear winter debris, prune dead wood, edge garden beds, and prepare your lawn and soil for seasonal growth.
Spring cleanup on Martha's Vineyard prepares the property for the growing season - clearing winter debris from beds and lawn, pruning dead wood, cutting back ornamental grasses and perennials, edging beds, and applying first-pass organic compost. Infinity Landscaping schedules cleanups from late March through early May depending on the season. Typical residential cleanups run one to three days.

What this page covers
Shrub pruning & deadheading
We prune ornamental shrubs and cut back ornamental grasses and perennial stems left for winter interest. We target dead or damaged wood from winter storms, shaping plants to promote healthy spring growth and flowering.
Lawn prep & thatch raking
We prepare your lawn for mowing. We rake matted grass areas to relieve compaction, clear gravel and salt left from driveways and winter plows, and apply organic starter nutrients to encourage early green-up.
Bed edging & conditioning
We prep your beds for plantings. We spade-cut clean, deep borders along lawn edges, remove early spring weeds, loosen compacted soil, and apply rich organic compost to feed the soil biology.
Landscape Maintenance
Prepping your yard for the summer season
Spring on Martha's Vineyard is a busy period. Homeowners and property managers focus on transitioning landscapes from the damp, windy winter to pristine, summer-ready entertaining spaces.
We organize our spring cleanups in two waves. The first wave in April focuses on clearing heavy debris, pruning late-winter shrubs, and edging beds. The second wave in May, leading up to Memorial Day, includes installing mulches, planting summer annuals, starting irrigation systems, and completing final detail cleanups. This phased approach ensures your property looks immaculate for seasonal arrivals.

Frequently asked questions
We recommend scheduling spring cleanups in late winter (February or March). Actual work begins in April as the snow melts and soils dry out. Schedulers fill up quickly due to the high volume of properties that must be finished before Memorial Day.
