Think Spring: Why You Should Plan Your Cleanup Now

Winter is still in full swing here in Detroit Lakes, but we all know spring arrives fast. When the snow finally melts, it often leaves behind a yard that needs some serious attention.

At Miller Yard Care, our spring schedule fills up quickly. Getting on the list now ensures your yard is first in line for recovery when the weather breaks. Here is what our cleanup includes and how it helps your lawn.


What Our Spring Cleanup Includes - We provide a thorough reset for your property.

  • Blowing Out Beds: We blow winter debris (leaves, twigs, trash) out of your rock and mulch beds.
