Edmonds Autumn Yard Clean-Up Services
Ah, fall in Edmonds! The crisp air, the vibrant foliage, and—let’s be honest—the endless cascade of leaves, cedar needles, and rain. While you’re cozying up with a pumpkin spice latte, let us tackle the mess that can turn your beautiful yard into a slippery, cluttered mess. Our goal? To leave your property neat, tidy, and ready for winter!
What’s the Challenge?
As the leaves start to fall, your yard faces some unique challenges:
- Leaf drifts and cedar needles can smother your lawn and garden beds, depriving them of much-needed air and light.
- Slick walkways and steps (thanks to algae and tannins) can create a safety hazard for you and your guests.
- Flattened beds lead to diminished curb appeal, with weeds popping up and mulch wearing thin.
- Wayward perennials and shrubs can become unruly, making your yard look unkempt just in time for holiday visitors.
Our Autumn Clean-Up Strategy (Designed for Edmonds)
Here’s how we’ll transform your yard this fall:
- Leaf & Needle Removal: We’ll meticulously clear your lawns, garden beds, gravel seams, and hardscapes, ensuring everything is ready for winter.
- Bed Edge Reset: We’ll redefine your garden beds with crisp, deep edges—perfect for preventing soil erosion and keeping weeds at bay.
- Perennial Cutbacks: We’ll trim back overgrown perennials, leaving healthy habitat stems 12–18” tall where beneficial for wildlife.
- Shrub Shaping: We’ll tidy up those unruly shrubs for better aesthetics and accessibility, ensuring walkways and windows are clear.
- Mulch Refresh (2–3”): We’ll pull mulch back from trunks and siding, locking in moisture and preventing weeds while giving your beds a fresh look.
- Lawn Winterizing: We’ll give your lawn a final mow and edge, check for moss, and can even apply fall fertilizer if needed.
- Storm Preparation: We’ll ensure curb lines and inlets are clear and check splash pads to prevent water buildup.
We believe in responsible cleanup—no leaves will be blown into the street or hidden in shrub wells. We load, haul, and leave your yard spotless.
Optional Add-Ons
Need a little extra care? Consider these add-ons:
- Gutter & Downspout Outlet Check (ground-level only)
- Paver Joint Re-Sanding after heavy blowouts
- Pressure Washing for slick entry steps and walkways
- Gravel Top-Up for muddy side yards and bin areas
Volume & Timing (So You Know What to Expect)
- 1 cubic yard = 27 cu ft (approximately a 3’ × 3’ × 3’ cube)
- A 12’ × 20’ lawn with a 2” leaf layer is about 15 cu ft (~½ yd³)
- If you have Bigleaf Maple trees, plan for two passes spaced 2–3 weeks apart for optimal cleanup.
