When Triad leaves come down, October to January
Most leaves here drop from mid-October into December, and oaks hold on even longer, some into January. One cleanup rarely does it. Most yards need two or three passes across the fall, with a last one once the oaks let go.
The key is not letting a wet mat sit on the lawn for weeks. A light layer of dry leaves can be mowed in, but after a few rainy days a thick cover needs to come off.
Mid-October
Leaf drop starts; the first pass protects new seed.
November
Peak fall; most yards need a pass or two.
December to January
The oaks let go; a final cleanup.

What fall cleanup customers say
Shea and his crew were amazing. He was able to come here and give us a quote quickly, the crew started the cleanup within a few days, and the price was very reasonable. Tony, his lead guy, was very professional and helpful. We did a walk around in the beginning and at the end. Both Shea and Tony triple checked the completed work to make sure nothing was missed. We have several other projects lined for them. Highly recommended!
Professional job. Friendly crew. Enjoyed working with them. Great value service.
Town leaf pickup vs. a full cleanup
The Town of Kernersville collects loose leaves at the curb during its leaf season, on the dates the Town publishes each fall. That is a real help, and many of our customers use it.
What the Town does not do is get the leaves there. It does not rake the lawn, clear the beds or blow out the corners behind the shrubs, and a wet mat left on fescue for a couple of weeks blocks the light just when the grass is building roots for winter. If the lawn had lawn seeding in September, the new grass is the first thing a leaf mat kills.
That part is our job: the lawn and beds cleared, on as many visits as your trees need, with the leaves hauled off, mowed in or left at the curb for the Town.
What shapes the cost of leaf removal
Two big oaks over a small lawn can mean more leaf work than a large yard with a few maples.
- How many leaves
- The number and size of the trees set how much there is to move.
- Lawn and bed area
- A large lawn and many beds take longer to clear.
- Method
- Hauling the leaves away takes more time than mulching them or blowing them to the curb.
- Number of visits
- Two or three passes cost more than a single cleanup, and protect the lawn better.
Blow, mulch or haul away?
| Method | Best for | What happens to the leaves |
|---|---|---|
| Blow and haul off | Best for: Heavy leaf cover and full fall cleanups | The leaves: Gathered and taken away, so nothing is left on the property |
| Mulch-mowing | Best for: A light layer of leaves on the lawn | The leaves: Chopped fine by the mower and left to feed the soil |
| Curbside pile | Best for: Streets where the Town collects loose leaves | The leaves: Blown to the curb for the Town's leaf collection |
Visit frequency, beds and mulching leaves in
How often do you come during leaf season?
Oaks drop late, so most yards need two or three visits. We set a schedule that keeps the lawn clear without overdoing it.
Do you clear beds and gutters too?
Yes. We clear the beds as part of every visit, and gutter cleaning can be added to a fall cleanup so the leaves in the gutters are dealt with too.
Can the leaves be mulched into the lawn?
With a light layer, yes, and it returns nutrients to the soil. A heavy cover needs to come off so it does not smother the grass.
Can leaf removal be part of a lawn plan?
Yes. Leaf cleanup fits into a lawn maintenance plan, so the fall passes are scheduled along with your mowing.
