Leaf Removal in Southlake, TX

Leaf drop starts in October and runs through December depending on the species. Chinese pistache and ornamental trees typically drop first in October. Red oaks peak in November. Post oaks and cedar elms often hold leaves into December. The result is a rolling leaf drop season, which is why one cleanup visit is rarely enough for heavily wooded properties.

We bag all debris and haul it off the property. We do not blow leaves to the curb or compost them on-site. If you have a compost area and would prefer leaves deposited there rather than hauled off, let us know at booking.

Standard mowing service includes blowing clippings and light debris from hard surfaces, but not bulk leaf collection and haul-off. Leaf removal is a separate service quoted by volume and lot size. Many customers bundle it as a seasonal add-on to their mowing schedule for October through December.

Timely leaf removal in November and December protects the turf from bare patches the following spring.
