How Professional Fall Leaf Cleanup Can Help You

There is nothing quite like the look and feel of autumn in Minnesota. As the maple trees change colors and brisk air leads to cozier conditions, some say fall truly is the most magical time of the year here.

The only downside to brightly colored crunchy leaves is the time and energy spent raking, bagging, and disposing of them. Wouldn’t it be lovely to simply enjoy the leaves changing colors without the added hassle of fall lawn care that feels like a chore?

Instead of reaching for your rake this upcoming season, consider calling the professionals to handle fall leaf cleanup. Your hands and back will thank you later.

Benefits of Hiring Professionals for Fall Cleanup

Fall foliage cleanup can be a time-consuming and tedious project. When you enlist the trusted services of a lawn care specialist, you don’t need to spend your precious time and energy to do it yourself. Even if you think you’ll save more money by doing it yourself, remember that your time is precious. Besides, fall foliage cleanup is actually more affordable than you’d think. Leave the hard work to the experts so that you can enjoy it with your loved ones.

Explore some of the many benefits of outsourcing your fall leaf cleanup to professionals below:

Make Fall Leaf Cleanup a Breeze

Besides the relief of not needing to do the work yourself, experts have a keen eye for making your lawn look beautiful within your budget. Beyond fall yard cleanup, our team can add lawn aeration for a healthier yard come spring.

Even though a big pile of multi-colored maple tree leaves may bring you an instant dose of serotonin, they can also end up being a tedious chore if you have to clean them yourself.

From racking to bagging to disposing of your leaves, this process can become cumbersome, especially if you have more than one tree. This process can be even more taxing if you have mobility challenges. By choosing to work with cleanup professionals, your fall cleanup will be a breeze, leaving you more time to engage in all your favorite activities.

Avoid Uncomfortable Health Hazards

A bonus of hiring a professional to clean your fall foliage is that you don’t need to worry about being exposed to what’s lurking in them. Did you know that decaying leaves are perfect habitats for mold to thrive? The last thing you need to deal with is allergy flare-ups or flu-like symptoms from handling moldy leaves.

Additionally, insects and other rodents like to nest in leaf piles. These vermin carry bacteria and diseases which you don’t want to transfer back into your home accidentally. So, think twice before jumping into those giant leaf piles you collect in your yard.

Maintain Your Grass into Fall

As Minnesotans, we understand that fall can extend well beyond a few weeks. This means that the lawn needs a care plan to continue even after leaves start falling; otherwise, you run the risk of them killing your healthy grass. Excess leaves on your property block out necessary nutrients from the sun and trap moisture. If you don’t regularly remove them from your yard, you run the risk of several issues, including:

That’s why it’s essential to plan for at least two to eight leaf cleanup sessions throughout the fall.

How Does the Process Work?

At KG Landscape, we’re happy to offer leaf removal services to help maintain the health of your lawn and your back. Our process includes raking and mobile vacuuming to scoop up every last bit of leaf debris throughout your yard. We typically will blow leaves into large piles, rake them up to be hauled away, and then finish with a high-powered vacuum to touch up the surrounding flower beds and window sills for a clean, polished look.

Just because it’s fall doesn’t mean you have to say goodbye to a good-looking lawn. Instead, ask our lawn care specialist about ways to maintain luscious green grass throughout the fall, thanks to fertilizer and other specialty treatments.

What Happens to Your Collected Leaves?

The Twin Cities boasts many wonderful natural waste recycling centers that collect garden and yard wastes throughout the year. After gathering your yard waste, we will later recycle them to be used for mulch or compost.

Establish With a Lawn Care Company for Year-Round Lawn Care

When you work with a lawn care specialist to clean up your fall foliage, you create a working relationship with a knowledgeable team. However, as seasons change, you may need services to keep your lawn healthy and weed-free.

Once you establish with KG Landscape, we then have a comprehensive understanding of your unique landscaping needs and can help you with other lawn care needs throughout the year, including:

Rest assured that our landscaping professionals will use the latest technology for the best quality for every visit.

How We Restored a Backyard Swale in Shoreview, MN

By Daniel . • July 9, 2026

The legendary architect Louis Sullivan coined a phrase that has driven architecture and design ever since: "form follows function." While aesthetics are critical to buildings and landscapes alike, that physical beauty must always remain secondary to the fundamentals of good design. In Shoreview, Minnesota, just outside St. Paul , we encountered a landscape where, unfortunately, function followed form. Here, the realities and principles of effective drainage were downstream of their original builder's aesthetic choices. That meant water from snowmelt and rainfall was streaming into parts of the lawn where it wasn't meant to be. The standing water that had been allowed to collect in the back and side yards was putting a considerable amount of the property out of play. In order to reclaim usable space and rethink the way the land handled water, this Shoreview homeowner entrusted KG Landscape with identifying key issues, presenting potential solutions, and doing the necessary work the client decided upon to restore their lawn.

Waterlogged by the Lake: How We Solved a Challenging Drainage Problem in Orono, MN

By Kent Gliadon • July 9, 2026

On the shores of Lake Minnetonka, perhaps the most famous of Minnesota's 10,000 lakes, an Orono, Minnesota homeowner was struggling with a back yard that was becoming more marsh than yard. The yard was a scenic one. The back porch opened up to the top of a small hill, which rolled down toward the lakefront and the boathouse. This flat space between the hill and the water would be ideal for backyard barbecues, some low-stakes games of bocce and badminton, or simply a spot to lay down a towel and get some summer reading done. Instead, this area was too waterlogged to enjoy. The runoff from the hilltop combined with unfavorable soil composition were limiting the use of the yard, closing off space while even diminishing the quality of the turf. How would this homeowner be able to reclaim this unusable land without disrupting the Lake Minnetonka shoreline that made the property so attractive? To find a solution, they turned to KG Landscape.
