Why Choose Professional Fall Lawn Cleanup?

Other than giving you back your weekends so you can take your kids to the pumpkin patch or apple orchard, there are several reasons why it pays to let professional landscapers handle your yard’s fall cleanup:

  • Letting your lawn breathe: Deadfall and leaves can suffocate your lawn if you have enough leaf coverage.
  • Protecting plants and shrubs: Pruning and deadheading plants before they freeze can prevent serious damage before the mornings become frosty.
  • Reducing the risk of pests: Mold, lawn grubs, and other creepy-crawlies thrive in areas with fallen leaves, and those can bring larger pests like skunks and raccoons.
  • Avoiding property damage: Fallen branches and trees can damage your siding, fences, hardscaping features, and even your lawnmower blades if you forget about them until spring.
  • Starting spring off right: There will be less of a mess to worry about and more room for your plants to grow healthy and strong.
