If your weekends are already filling up with c***r mill trips and high school football games, the last thing you want to worry about is spending hours raking and hauling leaves.

Leaving wet leaf mats on your lawn blocks vital air and sunlight, inviting snow mold to set in under winter snowpack. Thick leaf piles also give mice, voles, and garden pests a warm place to nest in your beds all winter.

Let our team take it off your plate like we did last year:
• Complete leaf & debris pickup across turf and garden beds
• Seasonal bed cut-backs to protect next year’s soil health
• Final late-season trim to keep grass blades from bending under heavy snow

Our fall schedule is filling up fast, and we want to make sure our past clients get priority
spots!

As the leaves start dropping, taking a few proactive steps with your yard now saves you from expensive lawn repair come April.

A lot of people don't realize that leaving wet leaf piles on your lawn acts like a heavy blanket—it traps moisture and breeds snow mold under winter snow packs. Thick leaf piles also give mice, voles, and garden pests a cozy place to hide out all winter long.

Here is what our fall cleanup service covers for your home:
1️⃣ Stops Snow Mold: We clear heavy leaves so your grass gets air and light before freezing temperatures hit.
2️⃣ Evicts Winter Pests: Removing dead annuals and rotting plant parts keeps garden pests and diseases out of your soil for next year.
3️⃣ Aids Turf Health: We trim your grass shorter late in the season so the blades don't bend and die under heavy snow loads.

To our returning clients and new neighbors: our fall schedule is officially open, and spots are booking up quickly!
