Frequently Asked Questions

  • When should you schedule spring cleanup in Maine?

    Schedule spring cleanup once snow has melted and debris like branches and leaves becomes visible, typically late March through early May in Maine. At We Do It Property Care, we recommend booking early for prime spring windows, especially in wooded areas around Hudson and Corinth where heavy winter buildup is common.
  • What's included in a fall cleanup service?

    Fall cleanup typically includes leaf raking, branch removal, clearing garden beds, and hauling away debris accumulated from seasonal winds and storms. In Maine properties near Hudson and Newport, heavy leaf drop from wooded lots often requires thorough clearing to prepare yards for winter and prevent matting that can damage lawns.
  • How does mulching help flower beds in summer?

    Mulching helps retain soil moisture, control weeds, and protect root systems during Maine's warm summer months. At We Do It Property Care, we install fresh mulch around trees, beds, and borders to enhance curb appeal and support healthy plant growth in residential properties throughout Bangor and Brewer.
  • What's the difference between residential and commercial lawn care?

    Residential lawn care focuses on seasonal mowing, trimming, and yard upkeep for homes, camps, and rentals, while commercial lawn care provides consistent scheduling and professional curb appeal for businesses, storefronts, and multi-unit properties. Commercial services use commercial-grade equipment for efficient, clean results in high-traffic zones like Bangor and Orono.
  • Why do wooded properties need more frequent cleanups?

    Wooded properties experience heavier leaf drop, fallen branches, and storm debris throughout Maine's windy seasons, requiring more frequent cleanups to maintain yard safety and appearance. At We Do It Property Care, we serve rural lots and lakeside homes around Hudson and Corinth where tree cover creates ongoing seasonal buildup.
  • How often should you mow a lawn in Maine?

    During Maine's growing season, typically May through September, most lawns benefit from weekly or bi-weekly mowing depending on rainfall and summer growth rates. Rapid growth is common in Hudson and surrounding areas, and consistent trimming with quality tools ensures clean cuts and a well-maintained appearance throughout the season.
  • What's the best time to trim trees in Maine?

    Late winter through early spring, before new growth begins, is ideal for trimming most trees in Maine. Proper trimming techniques promote healthier growth, prevent damage from overgrowth, and enhance yard safety. At We Do It Property Care, we also handle storm cleanup year-round for wooded homes in Hudson, Corinth, and Newport.
  • Can you split wood on-site for firewood?

    Yes, on-site wood splitting is available and ideal for rural Maine households that rely on wood heat or need to process storm debris and fallen logs. At We Do It Property Care, we use efficient equipment to split and chip wood quickly, helping homeowners around Hudson and Newport maintain clean yards and usable wood piles.
  • How do you prepare a property for snow removal?

    Before winter, clear walkways of obstacles, mark driveway edges, and communicate tight spots or preferred snow placement. Reliable snow blowing services in the Hudson and Corinth region handle heavy winter accumulation and drifting, keeping driveways and paths safe and accessible during frequent storms.
  • What are the benefits of recurring property maintenance?

    Recurring property maintenance ensures consistent upkeep, prevents seasonal neglect, and keeps exteriors looking sharp year-round. It's especially valuable for landlords, camps, and rental properties around Hudson and Bangor that need routine attention without constant scheduling. At We Do It Property Care, flexible service plans provide worry-free care.
  • What types of plants work best in Maine flower beds?

    Hardy annuals and perennials suited to Maine's spring and summer climate thrive in local soil and weather conditions. At We Do It Property Care, we select healthy plant options for homes near lakes and wooded areas in Orono, Bangor, and Brewer, and complement plantings with mulching and trimming for complete curb appeal.
  • What's the biggest mistake people make with seasonal cleanups?

    Waiting too long to schedule cleanups, especially in spring and fall, often leads to matted leaves, storm damage, and missed booking windows. At We Do It Property Care, we encourage early scheduling in Hudson and surrounding towns to ensure efficient removal and proper preparation for Maine's next season.
