Professional restoration for any situation — no judgment, just results
Call for FREE Assessment Or request confidential consultationProperty cleanup is comprehensive transformation of properties that have fallen into disrepair or been neglected — foreclosures, estates, fixer-uppers, rental turnovers, life transitions, or just yards that got away from homeowners. These need systematic work addressing accumulated debris, overgrowth, years of deferred maintenance, and full restoration to make properties presentable again. No situation surprises us — we just develop a plan and execute efficiently.

Knee-high overgrowth mowed down with heavy-duty equipment. Beds cleared of years of weeds. Invasive species removed. Property returns to defined lawn and bed areas.
Fallen branches, storm damage, piles of leaves, discarded items — all cleared and hauled. Often multiple truck/trailer loads. Full debris service.
Beds cleared, edges redefined, surviving plants preserved. Fresh soil added if needed, mulched clean. For sales, strategic plantings add curb appeal affordably.
Heavy overseeding of bare areas, soil amendments, starter fertilization. Overseeding service creates respectable turf within weeks.
Overgrown shrubs cut back. Dead wood removed. Edges crisp. Hardscapes blown clean. Every detail looks sharp — presentation-ready.
We visit, photograph key areas, identify what's salvageable, discuss goals and timeline, then provide a written estimate with flat-rate pricing.
We work methodically: clear vegetation and debris first, then beds, then lawn renovation, then pruning, then final detailing. Logical flow prevents redoing work.
All debris removed and disposed of. We walk the property with you, discuss ongoing maintenance, and provide care instructions for any new work.
1–2 seasons behind. Overgrown mowing, bed cleanup, debris removal, basic detailing.
2–3 years deferred. Heavy vegetation clearing, extensive debris hauling, bed restoration, substantial pruning.
3+ years abandoned. Complete transformation. Multiple days, heavy equipment, extensive hauling, full restoration.
Lawn renovation (if needed beyond mowing): add $500–$1,500. Additional enhancements like fresh mulch or strategic plantings priced separately. We provide fixed-price estimates — you know exactly what complete projects cost. Most Ellicott City cleanups fall in $1,500–$3,500 range.
In 39 years we haven't encountered a property we couldn't dramatically improve. Jungle-like overgrowth, years of debris, dead lawns — all transformable with systematic work. The question isn't whether we can fix it but how much investment makes sense for your situation. We provide honest evaluation of what's possible, costs, and results to expect during assessment.
Small properties with moderate neglect: one full day. Average residential with significant overgrowth: 2–3 days. Severely neglected large properties: 4–5 days or more. Curb appeal transformation happens in initial cleanup — full restoration (like new grass establishment) continues over weeks. For urgent estate sales or foreclosure listings, we often schedule intensive work to complete within a week.
Yes — we work regularly with real estate professionals and banks managing Howard County properties. We understand listing needs, can work from photos, coordinate lockbox access, and provide before/after documentation. Our flat-rate pricing works well for foreclosure budgets. Many Ellicott City agents keep our information on hand. References available.
Absolutely. Many clients transition to regular maintenance programs after restoration — prevents re-neglect and keeps properties looking good with manageable cost. We offer various levels from basic mowing to comprehensive fertilization programs and bed weeding. Regular service is far less expensive than periodic major cleanups.
Don't let overwhelming property conditions prevent you from moving forward. Professional cleanup from Greenlawn Inc transforms even severely neglected Howard County properties into attractive, maintainable landscapes efficiently and affordably.
