Leaf Blowing
Our team will begin by leaf blowing and raking your property, piling leaves near your curb. This process ensures that every corner of your property is clean and prepared for collection. Once the leaves are piled up, we load them into our trailer, leaving your yard spotless while minimizing any damage to your lawn!

Load + Haul
We gather leaves into piles and load them directly into our trailer for quick, efficient removal. Once collected, the debris is hauled away and disposed of responsibly, leaving your property clear and tidy without the hassle.
The Benefits of Leaf Clean-up
Protects Your Lawn
Leaves left on the ground can suffocate grass, cause soil compaction, and create mold or disease. Clearing them away helps your lawn breathe and stay healthy heading into winter.
Clean, Polished Look
Leaf removal instantly improves your property’s curb appeal. A neat, leaf-free yard shows your space is cared for and keeps your outdoor areas usable and inviting.
Prevents Problems Later
Regular cleanups save you time and stress by stopping issues before they start — from slippery walkways and pest buildup to spring lawn damage caused by heavy leaf cover.
