Lake City Autumn Yard Clean-Up Services
Hey there, Lake City residents! As the leaves turn and the air gets a bit crisper, it’s time to embrace the beauty of fall without the hassle. We know how quickly those vibrant leaves can pile up, creating a slippery mess that can take away from your yard’s charm. While you enjoy your pumpkin spice latte, let us handle the cleanup! Our mission is to leave your property looking neat, tidy, and ready for winter hibernation.
What’s the Challenge?
- Leaf and Cedar Needle Build-Up: These can smother your lawn and garden beds, blocking out vital air and light.
- Slick Walkways: Algae and tannins can turn your pathways into a safety hazard, especially with holiday visitors on the way.
- Flattened Flower Beds: An unkempt appearance can diminish curb appeal, allowing weeds to invade and mulch to thin out.
- Overgrown Perennials and Shrubs: They can become unruly, making your yard look less inviting just when you want it to shine.
Our Autumn Clean-Up Strategy (Tailored for Lake City)
- Leaf & Needle Removal: We’ll meticulously clear your lawns, beds, gravel seams, and hardscapes, ensuring a spotless finish.
- Bed Edge Reset: We’ll redefine your garden beds with sharp, deep edges, perfect for the winter months ahead.
- Perennial Cutbacks: We’ll trim back those sprawling plants, leaving beneficial stems at a healthy height of 12–18”.
- Shrub Shaping: We’ll tidy up your shrubs for better aesthetics and accessibility, keeping walkways and windows clear.
- Mulch Refresh (2–3”): We’ll carefully pull back mulch from trunks and siding, locking in moisture and preventing weeds.
- Lawn Winterizing: We’ll provide your lawn with a final mow, edge, and check for moss, plus apply fall fertilizer if desired.
- Storm Preparation: We’ll ensure your curb lines and inlets are clear, checking splash pads to prevent water buildup.
We take pride in our responsible cleanup methods—no leaves will be blown into the street or hidden in shrub wells. We load, haul, and leave your yard spotless.
Optional 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 (What You Can Expect)
- 1 cubic yard = 27 cu ft (about a 3’ × 3’ × 3’ cube)
- A 12’ × 20’ lawn with a 2” leaf layer is approximately 15 cu ft (~½ yd³)
- If you have Bigleaf Maple trees, plan for two passes spaced 2–3 weeks apart for optimal cleanup.
