Get matched with top lawn care fall / spring clean up pros in your area

You have a few options once the leaves are in piles. Ask your crew to bag them for curbside yard-waste pickup, drop them at a local compost center, or donate them if a community garden will take them. 

Prefer the DIY route? Load the bags into your trailer and haul them to the nearest waste facility. Any of these choices keep your yard clear and handle the leaves in an eco-friendly way.

Yes, you should remove the majority of leaves from your yard. A light leaf layer breaks down and feeds the soil, but thick mats smother grass, trap moisture, and invite mold and pests. If your trees drop a lot of foliage, aim for two or more cleanups each fall to keep your lawn healthy and looking sharp.

For speed and minimal strain, blow leaves into tidy piles, then bag them for pickup or composting. A blower covers big areas quickly and spares delicate garden beds. If you want the job finished even faster—or you’d rather skip the heavy lifting—hire a pro to handle the blowing and bagging in one visit.
