Fall cleanup, before the ground closes up.

Fall Cleanup

Leaves left to mat down over a bed smother what's under them and hold wet against crowns all winter. A proper fall cleanup is the cheapest insurance you can buy on a landscape, and it decides how much work spring costs you. We run cleanups across Greenwood, Excelsior, Minnetonka, Deephaven, Tonka Bay, Woodland, Shorewood, Chanhassen, and Victoria.

What the work covers

What's included.

Leaf & debris removalBeds, lawn, and hardscape cleared and blown off, not raked into a corner and left to blow back across the property in the first wind.

Bed cleanup & cutbackPerennials cut back and beds cleared, with the judgment to leave standing stems where they shelter overwintering insects and feed birds.

Deadwood removalDead and broken wood out of shrubs and small trees while the structure is visible with the leaves down, the easiest time of year to see it.

Haul-awayEverything leaves with us. No pile behind the garage waiting until spring to become your problem.

Start to finish

How it goes.

Four stages, in order. Nothing skipped to make a number look better.

01
Book earlyThe window between leaf drop and frozen ground is short, and every property in the metro wants the same three weeks. Early calls get the better dates.
02
We watch the dropComing too early means doing it twice. We time the visit to the trees on your property, not to a date on a calendar.
03
The cleanup passBeds, lawn, hardscape, deadwood, in order, so nothing gets walked back over what's already clean.
04
Walk it before we goLast look together, or photos if you're not home. Then the debris leaves with the crew.

Fall cleanup is also the honest way to find out what a property needs. Crews see the bones of a landscape with the leaves down: drainage, dead wood, where an invasive has taken hold. If recurring care turns out to make sense for you, our season maintenance waitlist opens for spring 2027.
