Alex actually takes the time to do the job right, which I appreciate. From the first day Alex has been professional and reliable. He treats my yard with care even down to the edging around the fences. The yard looks great with stripes going both ways, and an even uniform cut. Alex takes pride in his work, which seems hard to find these days.
Property Cleanups
Spring and fall cleanups that haul every leaf away.
We don't mulch leaves into the lawn (which kills the grass underneath) and we don't leave bagged piles at the curb. Every leaf, stick, and pinecone goes in the truck.

Process
How we do it
- 1.
Schedule windows
Spring cleanups run mid-March to mid-April. Fall cleanups run from mid-October until snow flies, usually two visits to handle leaf drop in waves.
- 2.
Crew + equipment
We use backpack blowers, push blowers for big lawns, and a vacuum/shred trailer to compact leaves before they go to the compost facility.
- 3.
No piles, no extra trips
Everything leaves in our truck the same day. You don't need to bag, drag, or call for a pickup.
Seasonal timing
When this service runs
Spring: mid-March to mid-April, after the snow is fully gone. Fall: mid-October through late November, often in two visits to keep up with the leaf drop.

Property Cleanups: common questions
Do I need to be home?
No. Most cleanup customers aren't home. We walk the property, do the work, send a quick photo when we're done.
How long does a typical cleanup take?
A quarter-acre lot with mature trees is usually 90 minutes to 2 hours in fall. Spring cleanups go faster, closer to an hour for the same property.
Will you also clean the gutters?
Yes. We'll do gutters as an add-on while we're already there for fall cleanup, which saves you a separate visit.
What about the beds? Will weeds be pulled?
Standard cleanup is debris removal. Weeding the beds is a separate service we can quote, or we can do a one-time bed reset that includes weeding, edging, and a fresh layer of mulch.
