Queen Anne Autumn Yard Clean-Up Services
Ah, fall in Queen Anne! The crisp air and vibrant foliage bring beauty, but also an endless cascade of leaves and cedar needles. While you enjoy your pumpkin spice latte, let us handle the cleanup to keep your property neat and ready for winter!
What’s the Challenge?
- Leaf drifts and cedar needles can smother your lawn and garden beds, preventing air and light from reaching them.
- Slick walkways and steps can become safety hazards due to algae and tannins.
- Flattened beds diminish curb appeal, allowing weeds to pop up and mulch to wear thin.
- Overgrown perennials and shrubs can make your yard look unkempt just in time for holiday visitors.
Our Autumn Clean-Up Strategy (Tailored for Queen Anne)
- Leaf & Needle Removal: We’ll meticulously clear your lawns, garden beds, and hardscapes to ensure a clean slate.
- Bed Edge Reset: We’ll redefine your garden beds with crisp edges, perfect for the winter months.
- Perennial Cutbacks: We’ll trim floppers, leaving beneficial habitat stems at 12–18” tall.
- Shrub Shaping: We’ll tidy up shrubs for aesthetics and accessibility, keeping walkways and windows clear.
- Mulch Refresh (2–3”): We’ll pull back mulch from trunks and siding to lock in moisture and prevent weeds.
- Lawn Winterizing: We’ll provide a final mow and edge, check for moss, and can apply fall fertilizer if needed.
- Storm Preparation: We’ll ensure curb lines and inlets are clear 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
- 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 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.
