Keep your lawn healthy and beautiful this fall with professional leaf removal. Complete cleanup from lawns, beds, and hardscapes.
Get FREE EstimateFall in Howard County brings beautiful foliage—followed by mountains of leaves covering every inch of your property. While stunning on trees, they cause serious damage if left in place.
Timely, thorough leaf removal isn't just about aesthetics—it's essential for maintaining a healthy lawn that will thrive come spring.
39 years of experience has taught us that professional removal protects your lawn investment and prevents costly spring repairs.
Thick layers block sunlight and prevent air circulation, suffocating grass and creating dead patches requiring reseeding.
Wet, matted leaves create perfect environments for snow mold, brown patch, and other fungal problems common in Howard County.
Leaf piles become homes for rodents, insects, and other pests that damage your lawn and landscaping through winter.
Decomposing leaves add to thatch layers, creating barriers that prevent water, nutrients, and oxygen from reaching roots.
Leaves left over winter become compacted and matted, making spring cleanup significantly more difficult and expensive.
If you've invested in fertilization programs, leaving leaves undermines all that work and wastes your money.
More than just blowing leaves around—our systematic approach ensures complete removal and proper disposal:
Evaluate property to determine leaf volume, identify problem areas, and create customized removal plan.
Commercial-grade blowers systematically remove leaves from lawns, beds, around shrubs, fence lines, and hardscapes.
Industrial vacuum equipment picks up and mulches leaves, reducing volume by up to 10:1 for efficient, eco-friendly disposal.
Walk-through to ensure no leaves remain in beds or corners. Clean driveways, sidewalks, and hardscapes completely.
Combine with final mowing, garden bed cleanup, and fall fertilizer to prepare lawn for strong spring.
Maryland's fall season runs late September through early December, with peak leaf drop in late October and November.
Early November: First major cleanup after 60-70% of leaves have fallen.
Late November/December: Final cleanup after all leaves are down.
As-Needed Service: Properties with heavy tree coverage need 3-4 cleanups throughout season.
Many customers opt for seasonal cleanup packages with multiple visits to keep properties consistently clean.

Most Howard County properties need 2-3 removals per season. First cleanup in early November after 60-70% of leaves have fallen, and final in late November/December after all leaves are down. Properties with heavy tree coverage (especially oaks which hold leaves longer) may benefit from a third mid-season cleanup.
Mulching works for light coverage (you should still see grass through leaves), but Maryland's deciduous trees produce far too many leaves for mulching alone. Thick layers of mulched leaves create the same problems—they block sunlight, trap moisture, and promote disease. Professional removal is the only way to prevent lawn damage.
All leaves are disposed of properly per Howard County regulations. Our vacuum equipment mulches leaves, reducing volume significantly. We take them to approved composting facilities where they're converted into valuable compost—environmentally responsible and keeping leaves out of landfills.
Never truly "too late," but optimal window is before significant snow or before leaves become compacted. We typically perform removal through mid-December. After that, leaves that have been sitting become matted and harder to remove (though we can still handle it). Earlier scheduling means easier, more effective results.
If enrolled in multi-visit packages, you don't need to do anything—that's the beauty of the service! If you notice heavy accumulation and we're not scheduled for another week or two, light raking of high-traffic areas can prevent matting. Our visit schedule is designed to prevent any damage between services.
Absolutely! Many customers combine final mowing with leaf removal. We can mow first (chopping lighter leaf coverage), then do complete removal. This works particularly well in early November when grass is still growing but leaves are accumulating. By late November, most lawns have stopped growing and we focus solely on leaf removal.
