Fall Leaf Removal

Leaves cleared through the whole fall, not just once.

OverviewHow we do itCare tipsQuestionsFAQ
Overview

What it is, and why it matters

Bergen County is full of mature oaks, maples and sycamores, and they don’t drop their leaves all at once. One cleanup in late October leaves you buried again by Thanksgiving.

The plan includes leaf removal from October through December, repeated as the trees drop, with a final cleanup so the lawn goes into winter clean.

The process

Exactly how we do it

Every step, so you know what you’re getting and why it’s done that way.

  1. 01

    Blow and rake the lawn and beds

    Leaves cleared from the lawn, out of beds, from around shrubs and out of corners where they pile up.

  2. 02

    Clean hard surfaces

    Driveways, walks, patios and steps blown clean. Wet leaves on pavement are slippery.

  3. 03

    Remove or mulch

    Leaves are hauled away or bagged per your town’s collection rules. Light layers can be mulched back into the lawn.

  4. 04

    Repeat as trees drop

    Visits continue through the fall, with a final cleanup in December.

The labor & equipment

A 2 to 3-person crew with backpack and walk-behind blowers. Each visit is typically 1 to 4 hours depending on tree cover.

Care tips

How to get the most out of it

Simple things you can do between visits, including how and when to water.

Keep mowing until it stops growing

Grass keeps growing into November. Regular cuts through fall keep it healthy going into winter.

A slightly shorter final cut

The last mow of the season is a bit lower (about 2½ to 3 inches) to reduce snow mold over winter.

Disconnect hoses

Drain and disconnect hoses before the first hard freeze to protect outdoor spigots.

Check your town’s leaf rules

Many Bergen County towns have curbside collection dates and rules about piles in the street. We follow them for you.

Common questions about fall leaf removal

Why remove leaves from the lawn?

A thick layer of wet leaves blocks light and traps moisture against the grass all winter. That causes dead patches and snow mold that show up as matted, gray areas in spring.

Can I just mow the leaves?

A light layer can be mulched with a mower and left as nutrients. But the heavy volume from large trees smothers the grass and has to come off.

When is the best time for fall cleanup?

Not once, but several times: as the trees drop from late October through early December, with a final pass after the last leaves fall.
