Spring is Around the Corner: Time to Plan Your Spring Property Cleanup!

While much of the nation is still experiencing winter’s chill, spring will be here before we know it! Property managers, single-family rental (SFR) owners, REO property managers and Mult-Family property owners should start planning Spring Cleanup now to ensure their properties are in top shape before peak leasing and selling season begins.

Why Spring Cleanup is Essential

Winter weather can leave behind a mess including fallen branches, overgrown landscaping, clogged gutters, and dirty exteriors. A well-planned Spring Cleanup not only improves curb appeal but also helps prevent maintenance issues that can become costly if left unchecked.

Beyond the aesthetics, neglected properties can lead to bigger problems. Accumulated debris can block drainage systems, dead vegetation can become a fire hazard, and leftover ice or snow damage can create safety risks for tenants and visitors. Additionally, many HOAs and municipalities have landscaping requirements that must be met, and a well-maintained property reduces the risk of violations or fines.

A proactive Spring Cleanup ensures your property is move-in ready for new tenants and stands out in a competitive real estate market. First impressions matter—whether for prospective tenants, buyers, or neighbors—so getting a head start on property maintenance is a smart investment.

Key Spring Cleanup Services

At Reliance Property Services, we provide a full range of Spring Cleanup services tailored to your needs, ensuring your properties are well-maintained, safe, and ready for the season.

✅ Debris & Leaf Removal

Winter storms often leave properties cluttered with fallen branches, dead leaves, and other debris that can create an unkempt and unwelcoming appearance. If not addressed, this debris can also lead to drainage issues, attract pests, and even become a fire hazard in dry areas. Our team will thoroughly clear out leaves, branches, and any other obstructions, ensuring your property is clean and safe for residents and visitors.

✅ Lawn & Landscape Preparation

A vibrant, well-maintained landscape sets the tone for any property, and spring is the time to revitalize your outdoor spaces. Our services include:

  • First mow of the season to remove overgrown grass and prepare for healthy regrowth.

  • Pruning of trees and shrubs to remove dead or damaged limbs, encouraging healthy new growth.

  • Mulching flower beds to suppress weeds, retain moisture, and give your landscape a fresh look.

  • Fertilizing lawns and plants to jumpstart growth and enhance greenery.

  • Weed control treatments to prevent invasive plants from taking over your landscape.

Investing in professional landscaping upkeep enhances property value, attracts tenants, and ensures compliance with HOA or city landscaping regulations.

✅ Irrigation System Inspections

A properly functioning irrigation system is critical for maintaining lush, green lawns and healthy plants throughout the spring and summer. Many systems experience wear and tear over the winter, leading to leaks, broken sprinkler heads, or inefficient water distribution.

Our team conducts comprehensive irrigation inspections, checking:

  • Leaks and blockages in sprinkler lines that could lead to water waste or dry patches.

  • Functionality of sprinkler heads, ensuring they provide even coverage and aren’t clogged or misaligned.

  • Controller settings to optimize watering schedules based on seasonal needs.

By addressing issues early, property owners can prevent costly water bills, avoid property damage from overwatering, and ensure plants receive the proper hydration.

✅ Exterior Cleaning & Pressure Washing

After months of exposure to harsh weather, buildings, sidewalks, driveways, and fences often look dull and dirty. A thorough pressure washing can make a dramatic difference, restoring your property’s curb appeal and giving it a well-maintained, inviting look.

Our exterior cleaning services include:

  • Power washing siding, brick, and concrete surfaces to remove dirt, grime, mold, and mildew.

  • Cleaning walkways, patios, and parking areas to improve safety and enhance aesthetics.

  • Gutter cleaning to ensure proper drainage and prevent water damage.

  • Window washing to remove streaks and buildup, letting in more natural light.

Regular exterior cleaning not only boosts the appearance of your property but also extends the lifespan of surfaces by preventing decay, mold growth, and structural damage.
