Fall leaf cleanup
Get every leaf off the lawn before the snow flies.
Leaves left under snow trap moisture and create the perfect conditions for snow mold, voles, and a slow spring green-up. We pull leaves out of beds, off the lawn, and out of the property line cleanly.
Fall leaf cleanup pulls leaves off the lawn, out of beds, and off the property before the snow lands, then sets the lawn at the right cut height for winter. Skipping it invites snow mold, vole damage, and a slow spring green-up.
Fall cleanup is the single most important winter prep step for a Minnesota lawn. Mat down leaves trap moisture against the crowns of the grass plants, smother out the photosynthesis the lawn needs to store energy, and create the conditions for snow mold (typhula and pink snow mold) under the snowpack. A clean lawn going into snow is a lawn that wakes up looking good in spring.
What's included
-
Full property leaf removal
Lawn, beds, around foundations, behind the shed, all the spots people miss.
-
Bed and gutter detail
Beds blown out and lightly raked. Optional gutter clear-out as an add-on.
-
Final mulch mow
Final low cut to set the lawn at the right height for winter.
-
Haul-away included
Leaves are removed from the property, not just blown to the curb.
Timing
We schedule by storm forecast, not by calendar.
Cleanup timing matters: too early and the late drop catches you, too late and the snow lands first. We watch the forecast and your specific tree mix (oaks drop late) to schedule the visit at the right window for your property.
- Reminder text the day before service
- Optional second-pass cleanup for late-dropping trees
- Spring touch-up cleanup available too

Frequently asked
Common fall cleanup questions
-
How is cleanup priced?
Pricing is per property, based on lot size and how heavy the leaf load is. We send a flat all-in price after a quick site visit so you know exactly what you're committing to.
-
Should I do one cleanup or two?
Most properties need just one well-timed cleanup. Properties with a lot of oaks (which drop very late) benefit from a one-pass plus a second touch-up. We'll recommend honestly when we quote.
-
Can you also clear my gutters?
We do offer gutter clear-out as an add-on for one-story sections at the time of cleanup. Multi-story homes are referred to a partner who specializes in it.
We recently had them remove all our leaves at the end of this past autumn. They were very thorough.
