As the snow melts and temperatures finally warm up in Prior Lake, it’s time to shake off winter clutter and get your home and property ready for spring and summer. Whether you’re clearing out the garage, prepping lawn and garden spaces, or storing seasonal gear, a little planning goes a long way.
Here’s how you can tackle your spring cleanup effectively — plus local resources to make the process easier:
Spring cleanup isn’t just about mowing and raking — it’s also an opportunity to clear out unused items that have taken over your basement, garage, attic, or yard.
Two Men and a Junk Truck – Highly rated junk removal pros serving Burnsville and surrounding areas, including Prior Lake. They haul away furniture, appliances, yard waste, construction debris, and more — a big help when you’re ready to clear space fast.
Clean Slate Junk Removal & Demolition – A local service covering junk removal, demolition, and yard waste disposal. Great for bulky items, shed debris, and whole space cleanouts.
📌 Tip: Many cleanout services will also help haul debris from storage units or garages as part of your spring routine.
While professional landscape and yard cleanup companies are sometimes a bit further out, there are services in the broader Twin Cities area that serve Prior Lake:
Local landscape crews and seasonal lawn care providers often include leaf removal, trimming, and edging in their spring cleanup packages. For example, regional services like Paradise Property Services offer leaf removal, landscape blow-outs, and disposal with lawn mowing included — and they do service Prior Lake and nearby communities.
💡 Pro Tip: Even if you’re hiring a yard crew, consider coordinating junk hauling at the same time for efficiency!
Once you’ve decluttered and cleaned up, you might find you still need space — especially for boats, RVs, winter gear, holiday decor, or equipment between seasons.
Gopher State Storage Prior Lake – Another local storage option with units for personal, business, RV/boat, and ice house storage. You can choose short-term or long-term rental depending on your needs.
📦 Quick tips for storage planning:
Plan early — popular unit sizes tend to fill up as spring warms up.
After cleanup and before storage, take a moment to organize what’s staying:
Use clear bins and labels
Pack similar items together (e.g., camping gear, holiday decorations)
Consider shelving if your storage unit allows it
A little organization now saves you frustration later!
Prior Lake’s beautiful parks and lakes make spring a wonderful time to be outdoors. Once you’ve decluttered and organized, you’ll be able to fully enjoy the lakeside trails, picnics, and warmer days ahead.
