Perennial Cutbacks in Mankato, North Mankato, St. Peter, MN & Southern Minnesota

Prepare your perennials for a healthy growing season with Storm.

Perennial plants are the foundation of most landscapes, providing texture, color, and structure year after year. As the growing season ends, these plants need proper maintenance to stay healthy and strong through winter. Storm provides professional perennial cutback services that promote healthier regrowth and keep your landscape looking clean and well-maintained throughout the year.

Our experienced team knows exactly when and how to perform perennial cutbacks, ensuring each plant species receives the right care at the right time. Whether you have ornamental grasses, flowering perennials, or mixed garden beds, we’ll make sure your plants are trimmed properly and ready for a strong return in spring.

We proudly serve residential, commercial, and HOA properties across Mankato, North Mankato, St. Peter, Eagle Lake, and surrounding southern Minnesota communities.

Why perennial cutbacks are essential for your landscape.

Perennials naturally die back at the end of the growing season, leaving behind dead stems and foliage that can harbor pests, mold, and disease. Without proper maintenance, this decaying material can also prevent new growth from emerging in spring.

Our cutback process removes old growth, improves airflow, and helps plants conserve energy for root development. This promotes healthier regrowth and keeps your garden beds neat, healthy, and vibrant season after season.

When should you schedule perennial cutbacks?

Timing is key when it comes to perennial care. At Storm, we typically perform cutbacks during the late fall months, from October through early November, once plants have gone dormant and the growing cycle has ended. Performing cutbacks at this stage protects the roots from winter damage and prepares them for new growth in the spring.

Certain plant species—such as ornamental grasses and pollinator-friendly varieties—benefit from later trimming in early spring. Our team can tailor your maintenance schedule to the unique needs of your landscape.

What our perennial cutback service includes.

When you schedule perennial cutbacks with Storm, you can expect professional attention to detail and the use of clean, sharpened tools to protect your plants. Our service includes:

• Careful trimming and removal of old or damaged plant material.
• Cleaning and clearing of garden beds to remove debris and weeds.
• Optional pruning of small shrubs or groundcover as needed.
• Disposal of all plant material or mulching upon request.

Each step is performed with precision to maintain plant health and ensure your landscape is prepared for the next growing season.

Pair perennial cutbacks with other seasonal services for best results.

Perennial cutbacks work best when combined with our other seasonal lawn and landscape services. Many property owners choose to schedule this service alongside our fall cleanups or leaf removal to fully prepare their property for winter.

We can also recommend mulch installation or soil conditioning to help protect your plants and garden beds during harsh Minnesota winters. Maintaining your perennials as part of a complete seasonal care plan keeps your landscape beautiful and thriving year-round.
