Fall Leaf Cleanups

Tis the season for leaves…We plan on starting our leaf removal practices around the first week of November.  In the meantime, if you'd like leaf removal services before this time, please feel free to contact us.  

Leaf Cleanups

The second leaf cleanup, which include turf and beds will be starting on Monday, November 19.  A few of the maples as well as the bradford pear trees seem to be hanging on right now, they will be down soon.

Please call if you have any special requests during this holiday season.

Thank you!

Tis’ the season for Leaves…

With the end of October fast approaching, weekly mowing will end and we will begin our leaf cleanup processes.  Typically, we perform two fall cleanups to lawns in the fall.  The first cleanup involves removing all the leaf cover from the lawn and hard surfaces.  The second cleanup involves removing all the leaves from the property including the landscaped areas.  We can also perform weekly or bi-weekly cleanups if you have heavy leaf cover and want them removed more routinely.  Call us if you have any questions or are interested in getting on our schedule.

Weekly Mowing begins Thursday 4/3

We will begin our weekly mowing services on Thursday 4/3, weather permitting.  If you are scheduled for a Thursday or Friday mowing day this season, you will be mowed this week.  Those scheduled for Mon-Wed. will begin their weekly services starting Monday 4/7.  We look forward to another great season!

Tis’ the season for Leaves…

We will begin our leaf cleanup operations around the first week of November.  We perform two leaf cleanups during the fall season.  Additional cleanups including weekly service is available upon request.  During the first cleanup, we will remove all the leaves from the turf areas & hard surfaces in and around your property.  We will NOT clean the leaves from the landscaped areas during the first cleanup unless you have otherwise arranged that service with us.

To Bag or not to Bag?

If you bag and dispose of your lawn clippings, you're throwing away a valuable resourse.  Lawn Clippings are high in nutrients that can be returned to the soil.  Research has shown that over the course of 1 season, the clippings from a 1,000 square feet area contribute nearly 2 lbs of Nitrogen.  That is huge considering that most fertilizer recommendations for a season are between 3-4 lbs per 1,000 square feet of area.  Everyone knows how much fertilizer cost…so if you're disposing of your grass clippings, you're throwing away $$$$.

Spring Mowing height

If turfgrass is cut too short, it will increase the competition level between grass and weeds.  Recommended mowing height for spring is 2.75"-3.25".
