garden cleanup

Clearing autumn debris

Garden cleanup is the seasonal work of clearing debris, dead plants, and overgrowth from a garden—typically in spring or fall.

The task includes raking leaves, pulling weeds, cutting back perennials, and preparing beds for planting or winter: We scheduled a garden cleanup before the first frost.

Also called yard cleanup when the work extends beyond garden beds.
