Twice a year, properly.

Spring and fall cleanups, leaf removal, aeration, overseeding, mulch and pruning. These are the two visits that carry the other fifty weeks.

How we think about it

Oak leaves on the Main Line come down over about six weeks. A single pass in December means the lawn spent most of that time under them, and it goes into winter smothered.

Aeration and overseeding go in September because the nights are cool and the soil is still warm, so the seed establishes before the first frost. Done in spring, the same work gets a fraction of the result.

What this covers

  • Fall cleanup & leaf removal

    Several visits, timed to when the leaves actually fall.

  • Spring cleanup

    Winter debris out and beds re-cut before growth starts.

  • Aeration

    Core aeration to open compacted soil.

  • Overseeding

    Straight after aeration, in the September window.

  • Mulch

    Fresh mulch and a re-cut edge on every bed.

  • Pruning

    Shrubs and small trees cut back at the right time of year.

We do not plow snow or salt drives. If you need that, we would rather tell you now than take the booking.

Guides for this work

Questions we get asked

  • What is typically included in a fall cleanup?

    Leaf removal from lawn, beds and hard surfaces, in more than one pass as the trees actually drop. Perennials cut back where they should be, beds re-edged, gutters and drains cleared of what has landed in them, and a final cut of the lawn low enough that it goes into winter clean. On properties with mature oaks it runs most of November.

  • When should fall cleanup be done?

    As the leaves come down. On the Main Line the drop runs from late October into December, and a lawn left under wet leaves for three weeks goes into winter smothered. We schedule the passes to the trees on the property, and the last one lands after the last big drop and before the leaves freeze onto the grass.
