Fall Clean-up

Fall leaves may be gorgeous on the trees, but once they hit the ground they become nothing but a big mess. Getting leaves off of the grass before Winter strikes is important. If leaves are allowed to remain on the ground, they will choke off the grass by reducing water evaporation. Plus, they can harbor mold and fungus, while also allowing insects to infiltrate the grass and ground.

In some cases, diseases from the trees can also be transferred to the ground and grass roots, which can kill your lawn Fall clean-up is the process of removing all leaves throughout your property with rakes and blowers. We service the leaf collection in two parts, starting in November. We schedule the leaf clean-up according to your county or neighborhood’s leaf pick-up schedule.
