Site Cleanup

Once a project is complete, proper cleanup ensures a professional finish, maintains good client relations, and prepares the team for the next job. Follow these final steps to leave the site looking better than we found it.

Why This Matters

Professional cleanup reflects company standards, ensures client satisfaction, and maintains our reputation for quality workmanship and attention to detail.

1

Remove all trash and tools

Complete site clearance ensures no materials are left behind.

  • Pick up and dispose of trash, including utility marker flags
  • Collect all unused materials and tools from the site
2

"Fluff" the grass

Restore the lawn's appearance and promote healthy grass recovery.

  • Use a leaf blower to fluff up grass that was flattened by plywood or heavy foot traffic
  • This improves curb appeal and helps prevent long-term damage
3

Stack and load plywood

Organize protection materials for efficient transport and storage.

  • Neatly stack all plywood sheets and load them onto the truck
4

Reseed the area

Promote rapid grass recovery in areas affected by construction work.

  • Use a seed spreader to evenly apply grass seed and fertilizer to any disturbed or bare areas
5

Apply straw

Protect newly seeded areas and improve germination success.

  • Cover seeded areas with straw
  • Break up any large clumps to ensure even coverage and proper protection
  • If included in the project scope, apply and pin down erosion blankets
6

Put tools away properly

Maintain organization and prepare for efficient future projects.

  • Return all tools to their proper, organized storage locations
  • This is typically the foreman's responsibility and keeps the truck and trailer ready for the next job
7

Load and secure equipment

Ensure safe transport and compliance with transportation regulations.

  • Carefully load equipment onto the truck or trailer
  • Use appropriate straps and secure everything according to transportation safety laws
8

Wear high-visibility gear (if needed)

Maintain safety standards during all phases of project completion.

  • If cleanup extends into dusk or low light conditions, wear reflective or high-visibility clothing for safety
