Kent Autumn Yard Clean-Up Services
Ah, fall in Kent! The crisp air, the vibrant foliage, and—let’s be honest—the endless cascade of leaves and cedar needles. While you’re cozying up with a pumpkin spice latte, let us tackle the mess that can transform your beautiful yard into a slippery, cluttered chaos. Our mission? To leave your property neat, tidy, and ready for winter!
What’s the Challenge?
- Leaf drifts and cedar needles can smother your lawn and garden beds, depriving them of air and light.
- Slick walkways and steps (thanks to algae and tannins) can turn your property into a safety hazard.
- 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 Kent)
Our comprehensive approach to fall clean-up is tailored to Kent’s unique climate, ensuring your yard is not only pristine but also healthy for the coming winter. Here’s what we’ll do:
- Leaf & Needle Removal: We’ll meticulously clear your lawns, beds, gravel seams, and hardscapes, providing a clean slate for winter.
- Bed Edge Reset: We’ll redefine your garden beds with crisp, deep edges, perfect for winter hibernation.
- Perennial Cutbacks: We’ll trim back unruly perennials, leaving habitat stems 12–18” tall where beneficial for local wildlife.
- Shrub Shaping: We’ll tidy up 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 unsightly weeds.
- Lawn Winterizing: We’ll give your lawn a final mow and edge, check for moss, and apply fall fertilizer if needed.
- Storm Preparation: We’ll ensure your 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.

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.
