A full-property reset each season: leaves hauled out, debris removed, dead and dormant growth cleared so the yard starts fresh instead of starting behind.
Cedar Valley winters leave a mess: matted leaves that smother turf, branches and grit from months of wind and plowing, and beds full of last year's dead growth. A spring cleanup clears all of it: raking and removing matted leaves and debris from the lawn, cutting back dead perennial growth, clearing beds, and a first crisp edge so the season starts with clean lines. Getting this done early matters, because turf that spends April under wet leaf mat is turf that thins out and lets weeds in.
Fall cleanup is not cosmetic. A heavy leaf layer left under snow all winter smothers cool-season grass and feeds snow mold, and you find the dead patches in April. We handle leaf removal in one or more late-fall passes, clear beds of spent annuals, cut back perennials that should not overwinter standing, and leave the property ready for the first snow. Timed with a final mow at the lower fall height per Iowa State Extension guidance, the lawn goes into winter in the best shape it can.
Price depends on lot size, tree cover, and how much material has to leave the property. Corner lots under mature oaks and maples are a different job than a newer subdivision yard, and the quote reflects that honestly.

Yes. Leaves and debris leave with us. If your city offers curbside yard waste pickup we can also stage bags for collection if you prefer, and we will price both ways.
A matted leaf layer under snow smothers the grass and encourages snow mold, and you inherit dead patches in April. A scattered dusting of leaves is fine; a layer you cannot see grass through is not.
