I think you would say, “I shoveled the snow off my lawn” or “I removed the snow from my yard”
I don’t think you would usually use “cleaned” for snow :)

We don't usually say "cleaned" when removing snow.
It would be more natural to say "I cleared the yard of snow", meaning there is no more snow in the yard.
You could also start with "I shoveled the snow" or "I swept the snow" when removing it from an area.
Examples:
I shoveled the path to get to my car.
I swept the snow off the porch.
