Leaf Cleanup Wilmington NC — Starting at $45

Two leaf seasons — yes, really

Everyone expects the fall drop. What surprises Wilmington newcomers is spring: live oaks hold their leaves all winter, then shed the old ones from roughly February through April as new growth pushes in. A yard full of mature oaks needs cleanup on both ends of winter — and letting a thick leaf mat sit smothers warm-season grass right when it's trying to wake up.

Full-yard leaf removal — lawn, beds, and corners the wind piles up
Driveways, patios, and walkways blown clean
One-time cleanups or recurring visits through the season
Storm-debris pickup for small limbs and scattered branches

Cleared and mowed backyard slope with defined bed edges in Wilmington NC

Starting at $45

Quoted by yard size and leaf volume — a light touch-up and a season's worth of oak leaves are different jobs, and we price them honestly.

Don't let the mat sit

A packed layer of wet leaves blocks light and traps moisture — the perfect recipe for fungus and dead patches in centipede and St. Augustine lawns. Getting leaves up before they mat down is one of the cheapest ways to protect the lawn you've paid all season to maintain.

Leaf cleanup or a standard mowing visit?

A standard mowing visit includes blowing clippings off hard surfaces. Removing accumulated leaves from the lawn, landscape beds, and yard is a separate cleanup service. If leaves are your main concern, select leaf cleanup when requesting your quote so we can allow for the full job.

What to include in your quote request

Tell us which parts of the yard need clearing, roughly how much leaf buildup there is, and whether you prefer haul-away or curbside placement. We will confirm the cleanup scope and disposal plan with you before work begins. Starting prices depend on the size and condition of the job.

Finish with fresh landscape beds

If you also want a bed refresh, ask for mulch installation or fresh pine straw in the same request. We can quote the cleanup and installation together, with hedge trimming included in the scope if needed.

Common questions

When should I schedule leaf cleanup in Wilmington?

Late fall (November–December) for the main drop, and again in early spring (February–April) if you have live oaks — they shed their old leaves in spring, not fall.

Do you haul the leaves away?

We can haul or place at the curb per your city/county pickup schedule — whichever you prefer. Just tell us in the quote form.

Can you do a one-time cleanup before an event?

Absolutely. One-time cleanups are one of our most-requested jobs — yard, beds, and hard surfaces cleared in a single visit.
