TL;DR

Fall cleanup is the end-of-season landscape service that clears leaves and dead annuals, does a final short mow, cuts back perennials, and often includes gutter clearing and a last edging before winter. Its agronomic point is keeping matted leaves from smothering turf and breeding snow mold under the first snow.

Definition

What it means

Fall cleanup is the end-of-season landscape service that clears leaves and dead annuals, does a final short mow, cuts back perennials, and often includes gutter clearing and a last edging before winter. Its agronomic point is keeping matted leaves from smothering turf and breeding snow mold under the first snow. Crews typically quote it by expected leaf volume and tree cover rather than lawn size alone, and late-season timing matters — one visit after most leaves drop beats three partial passes.
