The moment fall arrives and leaves begin to carpet lawns and gardens, most homeowners start looking for reliable ways to get a head start on the mess. With so many expert leaf removals, we have discovered that homeowners often have the same inquiries before booking a service. From how it’s done and when to reserve it to whether it’s worth doing at all, we’re answering the most common questions we get and what you ought to know.
This is what everyone wants to know, and the truth is, while raking will work for small lawns or light tree cover, it is only a matter of time before it is more than you can manage. When you lose leaves faster than you can rake them off, they are more than just annoying. Thick blankets of leaves suppress sunlight, retain water, and smother grass. They can also develop mould and become a safety hazard. Professional leaf removal services use proper equipment to clear the leaves and keep your lawns healthy and safe.
How often leaf removal is scheduled depends on the size of your property, the number and kinds of trees you have on your property, and how rapidly the leaves are shedding. Cleanups every other week or so throughout the season are best for most homeowners, as it avoids having to undertake one big cleanup at the end. This also ensures no damage is done to the property, and your outdoor space remains tidy for the season. But no matter the schedule, consistency yields the best outcome, particularly when the weather takes a drastic turn.
People are often curious about what we do with the leaves after we collect them, and it’s an understandable question. When it comes to leaf removal services, disposal is a big part of our business. We don’t simply dump the collected leaves into haphazard piles. Instead, we deliver them to recycling facilities or city-yard waste programs to be processed sustainably. We strive to make your land look neat, reduce waste, and encourage eco-friendly practices.
Leaving a few stray leaves alone will not typically harm the lawn. Sometimes, mulching the leaves into the lawn can provide nutrients to the soil. This is only acceptable, however, if the leaf coverage is light and the leaves are dry and torn up evenly. When leaves begin to form layers, they smother the lawn and can lead to permanent damage. In case you’re unsure, leaving it to the pros is best. Leaf removal services aim to strike the right balance between saving your lawn and keeping your yard looking its best.
