Rest assured our crews do give your property a final clean up after the majority of the leaves have fallen.  On certain years a lot of Oak trees in particular will retain up to 20% of their leaves for most of the winter and will push them off come spring with the new growth.  During wind, rain and snowstorms some will continue to fall all winter long.  This makes it impossible to have a “spotless property” during the winter.  Also many of the surrounding not maintained homes and wooded areas due to windy conditions help deposit leaves on your property as well.  These remaining leaves while unsightly are not harmful to your landscape. Rest assured that come your spring cleanup the leaves will all be removed. Which is the reason properties do need spring clean ups.
