Spring and fall, or just when it got away from you

Fall leaf removal and seasonal yard cleanups in Charlotte

Charlotte's willow oaks are the reason leaf season here runs from October into January. They drop late and they drop for weeks, and a lawn buried under them for a month comes out of winter thin and mossy. Our fall cleanup is usually two visits for that reason: one in November and one after the oaks finish. Spring cleanup is the reverse, cutting back what winter left and getting beds ready for mulch.

What a cleanup includes

  • Leaves blown out of beds, corners and fence lines, then collected and hauled
  • Lawn mowed and bagged on the same visit so it does not smother
  • Perennials and ornamental grasses cut back at the right time
  • Shrubs shaped, dead wood pruned out
  • Gutters cleared on single-storey homes if you ask
  • Everything hauled away; nothing left at the curb for the city

What it doesn't cover

  • Tree pruning above ladder height, which is an arborist's job
  • Storm debris involving downed trees or limbs over six inches
  • Gutters on two-storey homes

Saying so up front is cheaper for both of us than finding out on the day.

Seasonal Cleanups & Leaf Removal questions

When should the fall cleanup happen?

Two visits: one in mid-November when most trees are down, and one in early January after the willow oaks finally finish. A single visit in November leaves you buried again by Christmas.

Do you take the leaves away?

Yes, hauled off the same day. We do not pile them at the curb for the city truck, which in some Charlotte neighborhoods comes weeks later.

Is this included in the Lawn Plan?

Spring and fall cleanups are included in the Plus and Complete tiers. Essentials customers and everyone else can book it on its own.

Can you do a one-time cleanup of a yard that got away from us?

That is most of our spring. Send us a few photos and we will quote it from those; a badly overgrown yard is usually a full day for a crew of three.
