Question 1

When should leaf removal be done in Alpharetta, GA?

Accepted Answer

Alpharetta's leaf season runs from October through early December. Hickories drop first, followed by maples, then oaks which hold leaves until late November or early December. Most properties need two to three cleanup visits to stay ahead of it. Waiting until all leaves have fallen and doing one big cleanup risks smothering turf underneath the matted layer.

Question 2

What happens if I leave leaves on my lawn over winter?

Accepted Answer

A heavy leaf layer left on the lawn through winter smothers grass and blocks sunlight, killing turf underneath. Wet, matted leaves also create ideal conditions for fungal disease that can persist into spring. Bermuda and Zoysia go dormant in fall but still need light and airflow. Fescue actively grows through fall and winter and is particularly vulnerable to leaf smothering.

Question 3

Do you haul leaves away or just blow them to the curb?

Accepted Answer

We bag and haul away all leaf debris on every cleanup visit. Blowing leaves to the curb or into the woods at the property edge just moves the problem. We remove everything completely so your yard looks clean, your beds are clear, and nothing is left to blow back or decompose against your foundation.

Question 4

How many leaf removal visits will my Alpharetta property need?

Accepted Answer

Most Alpharetta properties with mature hardwoods need two to three scheduled cleanups between October and December. Properties in wooded neighborhoods like Windward and Crabapple with heavy oak canopies often need three visits. Properties with fewer trees or mostly evergreen landscaping may need just one thorough cleanup in late November.

Question 5

Do you clean leaves out of landscape beds too?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Leaves pack into landscape beds and around the base of shrubs, trapping moisture and creating conditions for root rot and fungal disease. Every leaf removal visit includes clearing beds, removing debris from around the base of plants, and leaving the full property clean — not just the turf areas.

Question 6

Can leaf removal be combined with gutter cleaning?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and we recommend it. Scheduling leaf removal and gutter cleaning together in late fall makes practical sense — the same leaf drop that covers your lawn is clogging your gutters. Many Alpharetta homeowners book both services in one visit to handle the full fall cleanup in a single call. Ask us about combining services when you schedule.
