In Houston, life doesn’t slow down for yard work.
Between work, errands, family, and just trying to enjoy the little bit of free time you get — most homeowners simply don’t have time to keep up with their landscaping.
“Hi! This is Sarah with Crenshaw Landscapes in Houston, Texas. Today the crew is beautifying another landscape where the owner just doesn’t have the time to clean it up anymore.”
Sound familiar?
You’re not alone.
Whether it’s overgrown bushes, weeds spreading through your beds, or plants that have seen better days, Crenshaw Landscapes is here to help you press reset — without the stress.
What We’re Doing Today – Clearing, Cleaning, and Mulching
Our team is on-site at another Houston property today, giving it a much-needed refresh.
“Today they are trimming bushes, taking out dead or dying plants, de-weeding and preparing for the final mulch.”
This isn’t just about “making it look nice.” It’s about restoring balance to your yard so that it not only looks good — it stays healthy.
Here’s a breakdown of what goes into one of our cleanups:
- Bush Trimming: Clean edges, reshaped foliage, improved airflow
- Dead Plant Removal: Clears space and prevents the spread of disease
- Weed Pulling: Removes invasive plants that compete for water and nutrients
- Mulch Preparation: Levels beds, ensures soil contact, and defines edges
The 4-Step Cleanup Process
| Step | Task Description | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Trim & Shape | Bushes and shrubs reshaped | Tidy, sculpted look |
| 2. Remove Old Plants | Dead/dying greenery cleared | Cleaner space, no disease spread |
| 3. Weed Beds | Remove crabgrass, vines, etc. | Healthier roots and soil |
| 4. Mulch Prep | Grade soil and create bed shape | Better water retention and aesthetics |
Why Landscape Cleanup Isn’t Just Cosmetic
Sure, it’s nice when your yard looks good — but cleanup services provide more than curb appeal.
When you neglect overgrowth, dead plants, or invasive weeds, you’re putting the entire health of your landscape at risk.
Benefits of regular landscape cleanup include:
- Encourages stronger, healthier plant growth
- Improves moisture absorption and irrigation efficiency
- Discourages pests from nesting in overgrowth or mulch piles
- Allows more sunlight and air to reach plants and soil
- Reduces plant stress and improves longevity
Before and After Cleanup Effects
| Aspect | Before Cleanup | After Cleanup |
|---|---|---|
| Plant Appearance | Overgrown, damaged | Neatly trimmed, healthy |
| Ground Surface | Weeds, dried leaves | Mulched, clean, weed-free |
| Yard Atmosphere | Cluttered, messy | Open, maintained, welcoming |
Why We Prioritize Mulch and Why You Should Too
Once we’ve cleared away everything that doesn’t belong, we prep the space for one of the most powerful tools in landscaping: mulch.
Mulch isn’t just the cherry on top. It’s part of the foundation of a healthy yard.
When applied properly, mulch offers several benefits:
- Retains soil moisture — meaning less watering
- Suppresses weed growth
- Protects plant roots from Houston’s intense heat
- Adds visual polish and texture to your landscape
Mulch Material Types and Their Benefits
| Mulch Type | Appearance | Best Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Shredded Hardwood | Natural brown, blends well | Flower beds, shaded gardens |
| Pine Bark | Reddish tint, rich color | Accent beds, around trees |
| Cedar | Aromatic, pest-repellent | Near windows or entryways |
6 Signs Your Yard Is Overdue for a Cleanup

- Some plants look dry, dead, or completely out of season

- You haven’t done any yard work in 3+ months
