Kirkland Autumn Yard Clean-Up Services

Fall in Kirkland is beautiful, filled with vibrant leaves and the unique scent of cedar. However, the seasonal shedding can quickly overwhelm your yard. While you sip your pumpkin spice latte, let us handle the seasonal cleanup to ensure your property remains tidy and ready for winter!


What’s the Challenge?

  • Leaf drifts and cedar needles can smother your lawn and garden beds, depriving them of much-needed air and light.
  • Slick pathways and steps can create hazards, especially as moisture increases.
  • Flattened garden beds lead to decreased curb appeal as weeds emerge and mulch deteriorates.
  • Overgrown perennials and shrubs can make your yard look unkempt, just in time for holiday gatherings.

Our Autumn Clean-Up Strategy (Designed for Kirkland)

  • Leaf & Needle Removal: We’ll thoroughly clear your lawns, beds, driveways, and patios for a fresh start.
  • Bed Edge Reset: We’ll redefine your garden beds, ensuring they look neat and professional for the winter.
  • Perennial Cutbacks: We’ll trim back overgrown plants, leaving beneficial stems 12–18” tall.
  • Shrub Shaping: We’ll tidy shrubs for an aesthetic boost and to keep pathways and windows clear.
  • Mulch Refresh (2–3”): We’ll apply fresh mulch, preventing weeds and retaining moisture.
  • Lawn Winterizing: We’ll perform a final mow, check for moss, and apply fall fertilizer if necessary.
  • Storm Preparation: We’ll ensure your curbs and drains are clear to prevent water accumulation.

We practice responsible cleanup—no leaves will be blown into the street or hidden in shrub areas. We load, haul, and leave your yard spotless.


Optional Add-Ons

  • Gutter & Downspout Outlet Check (ground-level only)
  • Paver Joint Re-Sanding after leaf blowouts
  • Pressure Washing for slippery entryways and paths
  • Gravel Top-Up for muddy areas near bins and side yards

Volume & Timing (What to Expect)

  • 1 cubic yard = 27 cu ft (approximately a 3’ × 3’ × 3’ cube)
  • A 12’ × 20’ lawn with a 2” leaf layer equals about 15 cu ft (~½ yd³)
  • If you have Bigleaf Maple trees, plan for two passes spaced 2–3 weeks apart for optimal cleanup.

Our Annual Maintenance Plan

  • Quarterly Visits: Includes spring and fall deep cleans plus two additional tune-ups.
  • Bi-Monthly Visits: Ideal for properties with heavy leaf litter or dense hedges.
  • Event Add-Ons: Perfect for pre-holiday or special occasion spruce-ups!

We are committed to being a low-maintenance landscaping team, minimizing your hassle between visits.


What’s Included in Our Annual Maintenance

  • Seasonal leaf and needle clears to prevent clogs before they occur.
  • Bed edge re-cuts and mulch management (holding 2–3”).
  • Timely shrub shaping for plant health and improved visibility.
  • Lawn edging, quick health checks, and simple moss prevention.
  • Complete debris haul-off—we leave no green waste behind!

Why Annual Maintenance is Essential

  • Safer, Cleaner Hardscapes: Enjoy fewer slick spots and unsightly stains on walkways.
  • Healthier Plants: Proper mulch and timing lead to fewer winter losses.
  • Reduced Weed Pressure: Covered beds starve the seed bank, keeping weeds at bay.
  • Enhanced Curb Appeal: Tidy lines elevate your property’s aesthetic throughout winter.
