TL;DR
Leaf cleanup is the seasonal removal of fallen foliage from lawns, beds, gutters, and hard surfaces, done with backpack blowers, tarp hauling, and high-capacity leaf vacuums, and priced by time, volume, or property size rather than a flat mow rate. Matted layers left through winter smother turf, breed snow mold, and shelter voles, which is why crews schedule rounds in late fall and again in spring.
What it means
Leaf cleanup is the seasonal removal of fallen foliage from lawns, beds, gutters, and hard surfaces, done with backpack blowers, tarp hauling, and high-capacity leaf vacuums, and priced by time, volume, or property size rather than a flat mow rate. Matted layers left through winter smother turf, breed snow mold, and shelter voles, which is why crews schedule rounds in late fall and again in spring. Disposal drives cost: municipal pickup, on-site mulching into beds, or hauling, and mulching mowers can return shredded leaves to the lawn as free organic matter when volume allows.
