Matted leaves smother grass, inviting snow mold and dead patches that need costly spring reseeding.
Overgrown perennials and dead plant material harbor pests and attract rodents through winter.
Wet, compacted leaves that sit all winter become an all-day ordeal to remove in spring.
Wet leaves create slip hazards. Clogged gutters lead to ice dams, water damage, and lower curb appeal.
All leaves cleared from lawns, beds, fence lines, and hardscapes — using commercial-grade equipment.
Perennials cut back, dead annuals removed, beds cleaned and optionally mulched for winter protection.
Cut at the optimal 2.5–3" height — not too long to mat, not too short to expose roots to cold.
Branches cleared, edges crisp, hardscapes blown off. Your property pristine from curb to fence.
Captures 70–80% of leaf drop. Ideal for most Columbia properties during peak fall color.
Final cleanup after all deciduous trees drop. Your last chance before winter weather sets in.
Heavy tree coverage? We space 2–3 visits throughout fall to prevent overwhelming buildup.
A clean lawn entering winter has better air circulation, less disease pressure, and stronger roots come spring.
The average Columbia property takes a full weekend manually. Our crews finish in 2–4 hours with commercial equipment.
Clean beds, healthy grass, and no winter debris — you'll be enjoying spring color while neighbors are still cleaning up.

Leaf removal is one piece of the puzzle. Fall cleanup adds garden bed cutback, final mowing, edging, debris removal, and full winter prep. Most Columbia homeowners benefit from the comprehensive service.
Early-to-mid November for your main cleanup, then a lighter final pass in late November or early December — especially for oak trees, which hold leaves longer. Avoid waiting after heavy rains.
Yes — all removal and disposal is included. We transport everything to approved Howard County composting facilities. No bags, containers, or trash pickup limits to worry about.
Absolutely — that's actually ideal. We mow first at the optimal winter height (2.5–3"), which chops up lighter leaf coverage, then complete the full cleanup. Very common in November.
Gutter cleaning is available as an add-on — many Columbia homeowners bundle it for convenience and savings. Just mention it when requesting your estimate and we'll include pricing.
