Spring + Fall Cleanups in Cedar Falls

Fall cleanup in Cedar Falls is really two different jobs. The older neighborhoods, College Hill through the downtown blocks, sit under mature oaks and maples that drop serious volume, and oaks in particular hang onto leaves late; those properties usually earn two passes, one mid-fall and one after the trees finish. The newer south-side developments carry young trees and mostly need a single thorough pass plus bed clearing before snow.

Spring cleanup matters just as much here because of what winter leaves behind: matted leaves in fence lines and bed corners, grit and debris along the street edges from a season of plowing, and beds full of last year's dead growth. We rake and haul the mess, cut back dead perennials, clear the beds, and cut a first crisp edge so the season starts clean.

Cleanups pair naturally with a final or first mow at the right height, and with dethatching or aeration when the lawn underneath needs more than a rake.
