Professional Leaf Removal Service in Pensacola, FL

Falling leaves can make your Pensacola lawn messy anytime but particularly after a thunderstorm or tropical downpour. When that happens, there goes your weekend (and your back). 

Let us deal with it. Lawn Love makes leaf removal easy. Our local lawn care pros in Pensacola are great at mowing but also handle leaf cleanup in the fall. 

Lawn Love’s leaf removal price starts as low as $137 on average for up to 1 acre, but pricing is based on the size of your property and the amount of leaves on your lawn. Our local leaf cleanup pros rake or blow the leaves onto a tarp and then bag them.

While some trees show color in mid-to-late November in Pensacola, yard cleanup is a continuous task. The City of Pensacola has free leaf pickup year-round. You should place all yard waste curbside by 6 a.m. on your scheduled collection day.

The most common trees that shed leaves in Pensacola include:

• Live oak
• Magnolia
• Crepe myrtle
• Sweetgum

Leaf and debris removal is especially important in Pensacola, as fall is the peak of the Atlantic hurricane season. Lawns must be cleared of branches and other debris that could become dangerous projectiles during a tropical storm or hurricane. 

In addition, humid areas like Pensacola may need leaf cleanup more often as humidity and moisture of the Gulf Coast foster lawn diseases like large patch and dollar spot. Wet leaves covering your lawn also can become a haven for pests.

Bottom Line: Fall leaves are great in Big Lagoon State Park, just not on your lawn.

Lawn Love Leaf Removal FAQ

How can leaves damage my lawn?

A thick layer of leaves:

• Smothers grass. Leaves block the sun, water, and air your grass needs. 
• Spurs lawn diseases (such as snow molds, red thread, and brown patch).
• Attracts pests (ants, termites, cockroaches, and rodents, for example).
• Increases weeds. A thick layer of moist leaves fuels weed growth.
• Lowers curb appeal. Your yard looks uncared for or like a lot of work to buyers.

How can you get rid of leaves in your yard?

• Hire a leaf removal crew. Easiest option, saves time, energy, and possible backache.
• Rake and bag leaves. This takes time and effort and can strain your back.
• Blow leaves and then bag them. Takes less time, but can strain your knees.
• Vacuum leaves. This takes even less time, but it’s a specialized and expensive service.
• Mulch leaves. Mulching mowers make this easy, and mulched leaves add nutrients.

What to do with the leaves you clean up

• Place bags of leaves at the curb for easy pickup.
• Mulch them.
• Compost them. Leaf mold is often called gardener’s gold.
• Use them as insulation to protect root vegetables from the cold.

How much does leaf removal cost?

Your leaf removal price reflects these cost factors:

• Yard size
• Number of trees in your yard (more trees means more leaves)
• Amount of leaves (dry or wet leaves and thin or thick layer covering your grass)
• Leaf removal method (raking and bagging costs more because it takes more time)
• Time of year (leaf removal prices are highest in fall, which is peak season)

How often should I have my leaves removed?

One-time leaf removal (or twice per year) is common in the South, where there are fewer trees that drop leaves.
