Your grass is storing energy right now for next year’s growth. The leaves covering it aren’t helping.
Every week those leaves sit there, they’re blocking sunlight your lawn needs to photosynthesize. They’re trapping moisture that breeds fungal diseases. They’re creating yellow dead spots that’ll show up ugly come spring.

Your lawn gets the light and air circulation it needs to stay healthy through the cold months and emerge vibrant in spring.

Our fall cleanup services in Islip go beyond basic leaf removal. We clear all organic debris that could damage your lawn over winter months.
This includes fallen leaves from all tree species common to Suffolk County – maples, oaks, birches, and others that create different cleanup challenges. We remove small branches and twigs that storms blow down. Garden beds get cleared of dead plant material.
Suffolk County’s coastal climate means our fall cleanup timing is critical. We work within the optimal window after peak leaf drop but before winter weather sets in. This protects your lawn from the fungal diseases that develop when leaves sit too long, especially with our region’s humidity levels.
The optimal timing for fall cleanup in Islip typically runs from mid-October through late November, depending on when trees finish dropping their leaves. You want to wait until most leaves have fallen but complete the cleanup before any significant snowfall.
In Suffolk County, we usually see peak leaf drop around late October. Scheduling too early means you’ll need a second cleanup when more leaves fall. Waiting too long risks the leaves getting soggy from rain or early snow, which makes them much harder to remove and more likely to damage your lawn.
We recommend scheduling your fall cleanup service by early October to secure your preferred timing, as the weeks before Thanksgiving fill up quickly with homeowners preparing their properties for winter.
Leaves left on your lawn through winter will create serious problems for your grass come spring. The weight and moisture from fallen leaves block sunlight and air circulation that your grass needs to stay healthy during dormant months.
You’ll see yellow or brown dead spots in spring exactly where leaf piles sat all winter. These areas often develop fungal diseases like snow mold, which thrives in the moist environment under decomposing leaves. The affected grass may need to be reseeded or resodded.
Additionally, thick leaf cover prevents your lawn from properly hardening off for winter. Grass needs gradual exposure to temperature changes to develop winter resilience. Leaves create an insulating barrier that interferes with this natural process, leaving your lawn more vulnerable to winter damage.
Fall cleanup costs in Islip typically range from $200 to $500 for most residential properties, depending on lot size, number of trees, and complexity of the landscape design. Properties with simple, open lawn areas cost less than those with multiple garden beds, patios, and intricate landscaping.
The main factors affecting price include your property size, the volume of leaves and debris, accessibility for our equipment, and any special requirements like working around delicate plantings. A typical quarter-acre lot with moderate tree coverage usually falls in the $250-$350 range.
We provide upfront, transparent pricing with no surprises. During our initial assessment, we’ll give you a firm quote based on the actual scope of work needed for your specific property. This fixed-price approach means you know exactly what you’ll pay before we start.
Yes, our fall cleanup service includes removing leaves from all areas of your property – lawn spaces, flower beds, landscape plantings, and hardscapes like patios and walkways. Leaves in garden beds can actually be more problematic than those on grass.
In flower beds, fallen leaves can smother perennial plants trying to establish winter hardiness. They create hiding spots for rodents and insects that may damage plants over winter. Wet leaves against plant crowns often lead to rot and disease issues.
We carefully remove debris from around shrubs, perennials, and other landscape plants without damaging the plantings. For areas where some organic matter benefits the soil, we can leave appropriate amounts of chopped leaves as natural mulch while removing excess that could cause problems.
Absolutely. We have the professional equipment and experience to handle large-scale fall cleanup projects efficiently. Properties with extensive mature tree coverage are actually our specialty – we understand the volume of debris these trees generate and plan accordingly.
Our team uses commercial-grade blowers and collection equipment that can process large amounts of leaves quickly. We’ve handled everything from half-acre suburban lots to multi-acre properties with dozens of mature oaks, maples, and other heavy leaf-producing trees.
For larger properties, we typically schedule the work over multiple days if needed and coordinate timing based on when different tree species drop their leaves. This ensures we capture all the debris without having to return multiple times as various trees finish their seasonal drop.
Our advantage comes from being locally owned with deep knowledge of Suffolk County’s specific conditions. We understand how coastal humidity affects leaf decomposition, which tree species are common in different Islip neighborhoods, and exactly when to time cleanup for optimal lawn protection.
We use professional equipment that completes jobs efficiently without cutting corners on quality. Many companies either rush through with insufficient cleanup or take too long with inefficient methods. We’ve found the right balance of speed and thoroughness.
Most importantly, we provide transparent, fixed pricing and stand behind our work with a satisfaction guarantee. You’re not paying hourly rates that create uncertainty about final costs. You get a clear quote upfront and professional results that protect your lawn investment through winter and into spring.
