Fall Cleanup

During fall, your yard will be littered with branches and yellow leaves from deciduous plants. Foregoing fall yard clean-up with the thought that snow will soon cover all the dead leaves is likely to cross most people’s minds – but ignoring cleaning up is a bad idea. If not cleaned up, this can create rot and leave you with severe winter kill spots the following year. A fall cleanup is a crucial step of maintaining a healthy lawn. A fall cleanup consists of:

​

• Leaf Pickup 

We will pickup and bag all of the leaves in your yard. Leaving none to rot underneath the snow all winter.

​

• Lawn Aeration

Part of professional fall yard clean-up is aeration and this involves perforating the soil to allow water, air, and nutrient penetration to the grassroots. If you want a healthy lawn, aeration is a critical process in the fall yard clean-up. Once we clear the leaves and fallen plant debris, the next step is usually aeration. Perforating the soil is simply alleviating soil compaction which, if not done, would prevent proper air circulation and absorption of nutrients. Apart from allowing air and nutrients to penetrate, aeration helps the roots grow more deeply, resulting in a lush looking lawn.​
