Between water oaks dropping all fall and live oaks shedding every spring, Wilmington yards get buried twice a year. We clear the whole yard — lawn, beds, and hard surfaces — in one visit.
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.

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.
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.
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.
We can haul or place at the curb per your city/county pickup schedule — whichever you prefer. Just tell us in the quote form.
Absolutely. One-time cleanups are one of our most-requested jobs — yard, beds, and hard surfaces cleared in a single visit.
