White Center Autumn Yard Clean-Up Services

Fall in White Center brings a picturesque blend of crisp air and vibrant colors, but it also means dealing with a flurry of leaves, cedar needles, and rain. While you sip your pumpkin spice latte, let us manage the clutter that can transform your lovely yard into a slippery hazard. Our mission? To keep your property neat, tidy, and winter-ready!


What’s the Challenge?

  • Leaf drifts and cedar needles can suffocate your lawn and garden beds, hindering air and light.
  • Slick walkways and steps pose safety risks, especially in the rainy season.
  • Flattened garden beds diminish curb appeal, leading to weeds and thinning mulch.
  • Overgrown perennials and shrubs can make your yard look unruly just as guests arrive for the holidays.

Our Autumn Clean-Up Strategy (Tailored for White Center)

  • Leaf & Needle Removal: We’ll clear your lawns, beds, gravel seams, and hardscapes, giving you a fresh start.
  • Bed Edge Reset: Crisp, deep edges will be defined for your garden beds, preparing them for winter.
  • Perennial Cutbacks: We’ll trim back unruly perennials, leaving beneficial stems at 12–18” tall.
  • Shrub Shaping: Tidying up shrubs enhances aesthetics and accessibility, keeping pathways clear.
  • Mulch Refresh (2–3”): We’ll pull mulch back from trunks and siding, locking in moisture and preventing weeds.
  • Lawn Winterizing: A final mow and edge will prepare your lawn, including checking for moss and applying fall fertilizer if needed.
  • Storm Preparation: We’ll ensure curb lines and inlets are clear and check splash pads to prevent water buildup.

We’re committed to 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.

Our Annual Maintenance Plan

  • Quarterly Visits: Enjoy spring and fall deep cleans plus two tune-ups to keep weeds and debris at bay.
  • Bi-Monthly Visits: Ideal for properties with heavy tree litter or dense hedge growth.
  • Event Add-Ons: Need a refresh before the holidays or special events? We’ve got your back!

We pride ourselves on being a low-maintenance landscaping team. Our mission is to minimize your hassle between visits.


What’s Included in Our Annual Maintenance

  • Seasonal leaf and needle clears to prevent clogs before they happen
  • Bed edge re-cuts and mulch management (maintaining 2–3”)
  • Timely shrub shaping for plant health and improved sightlines
  • Lawn edges, 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.
  • 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 look all winter long.
