FAQs About Fall Cleanup

Can I skip the cleanup and wait for spring?
We don’t recommend it. Debris left all winter promotes fungus, pests, and lawn damage.

Do you bag or mulch the leaves?
Both — we’ll use mulching mowers where helpful and remove bulk leaf piles.

Can I add lighting or hardscaping now?
Yes, October is a great time to plan projects for winter installs or early spring.
