There’s a new yard cleaning service on the block at 301 - 1st Avenue West in Kindersley. Kate Grimsdale and her business Kate’s Green Kleen is ready and waiting to serve her new customers and provide efficient and prompt service.

Her motto is “Let me do what you don’t want to!” Now that’s an offer no one can turn down because everyone has jobs that they keep putting off because they don’t care to do them. And there are lots of those kinds of jobs to choose from.

Those jobs include spring yard cleaning, which is happening right now, or keeping your lawn tidy and trimmed regularly. Kate will not only clean up your yard, but she’ll haul away the trash after she’s done.

Maybe you’ve been meaning to paint or stain your fence or deck and never got around to it. Or you’re looking out your windows and realizing they need to be cleaned. And if you’ve got pets, Kate is even willing to pick up your pet’s poop.

“So far, I’ve been busy, and I haven’t officially started yet,” Kate said. “People are asking if I can do this and that, and I say ‘yes!”

Kate’s not a new face in town since she’s been living in the area, off and on since 2000, and worked here full-time. But now, she has exchanged full-time employment for starting her own yard maintenance business.

“I started by doing it for my mom because she needed help, and it got me thinking there’s got to be a lot of people who don’t like doing yard work or can’t do yard work,” Kate said. She also noted that everyone in her family is an entrepreneur, so starting her own business came quite naturally.

“I’ve been working ten-hour days for the past twenty years. This way, I can spend more time with my son.” Kate is looking forward to having a more flexible schedule so she can spend more time with her 11-year-old son. “He goes with me everywhere,” she added.

Kate hopes to keep her service affordable for her customers by bidding by the job and not necessarily the time it will take to get the job done. “I also bought a natural helper to get your lawn to grow greener. It’s made in Medicine Hat, and I tried it on a couple of yards already to see how it works. I’m not a big fan of chemicals,” she explained.

When you head off to the lake for your summer vacation, Kate’s Green Kleen will be making sure your lawn and garden get watered. “I’m excited! This is something I enjoy doing,” Kate concluded. And next summer, she plans to be back again, offering the same excellent service.
