Yes — seasonal cleanup services are offered by most Rock County landscaping companies. Spring cleanups typically include leaf and debris removal, edge clean-up, mulch refresh, pruning winter-damaged plants, and garden bed preparation. Fall cleanups include leaf removal (including hauling), cutting back perennials, final mowing, and winterizing irrigation systems. Many companies offer bundled seasonal contracts that include mowing, cleanups, and fertilization for the full year.
Spring (April–June) and fall (September–October) are the ideal times for most landscaping installations in Janesville. Spring offers optimal growing conditions for new plantings. Fall is excellent for establishing trees, shrubs, and perennials before winter — cooler temps reduce transplant shock. Hardscaping (pavers, retaining walls, patios) can be done whenever the ground is frost-free. Booking in late winter ensures you get a slot with your preferred Rock County landscaper before peak season.
Many full-service landscaping companies in Janesville offer both design and installation, making them a one-stop shop for outdoor projects. Some are design-build firms that employ a landscape architect or certified landscape designer, while others specialize in installation with basic design included. If your project involves complex grading, drainage, or detailed plant selection, look for a company that specifically lists landscape design as a service. Smaller maintenance-focused companies may only do mowing and cleanup.
Browse this directory for landscaping companies with verified reviews and claimed listings — claimed listings are actively managed by the business and tend to have more current contact info and photos. Ask for references from recent jobs in your neighborhood and check that the company is licensed and insured. For lawn chemical applications (fertilizer, weed control), Wisconsin requires applicators to hold a state pesticide applicator license — ask to see it before any chemical service.
