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.

Some people like to use the phrase "nature is healing." However, in some cases, nature can't heal itself alone. That's where we come in. Recently, a homeowner in Maple Grove, Minnesota reached out to KG Landscape after struggling to revitalize a back yard that was simply failing to thrive. Despite what seemed like ample sunlight and water, the turf suffered from numerous thin and bare patches that refused to improve. To determine exactly why they couldn't get this yard to flourish on its own, our client asked us to assess the yard and determine a plan that could reinstate the lush green lawn they expected for their Maple Grove home.
Seldom will you find a piece of landscaping less desirable than the unintentional water feature. That's why a recent client in St. Paul, Minnesota's Macalester-Groveland neighborhood reached out to KG Landscape. Poor drainage in their yard had begun to allow standing water to accumulate, which not only damaged the lawn but was also beginning to make its way into the home's foundation. Our assignment was to determine why this water was pooling where it was, then find a way to divert it to a safer outlet. In order to do so and to improve the health of this St. Paul lawn, our team developed a system of catch basins and underground drain pipes to capture and redirect rainwater. Additionally, we restored the damage standing water had done to the lawn with a full topdressing treatment combined with seed blankets in the most critical areas of the lawn. Upon completing the project, we successfully resolved the yard's drainage issues while also bolstering the health of the lawn.
Faced with tight constraints in a small Edina backyard, our team devised a solution that created a comfortable patio along with increased privacy for our client.
