Professional Leaf Removal Service in Port St. Lucie, FL

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

There’s a better way. Lawn Love makes leaf removal simple. Our leaf cleanup pros rake or blow the leaves onto a tarp and then bag them. Pricing starts as low as $104.33 per acre but is based on the size of your property and the amount of leaves on your lawn. 

While some trees shed leaves during the late fall, leaf cleanup is a continuous task in Port St. Lucie. The City of Port St. Lucie provides weekly yard waste pickup for residents.

Most common trees that shed leaves in Port St. Lucie:

• Red maple
• Bald cypress
• Sweetgum
• Crape myrtle

Leaf removal isn’t tied to just fall or winter in Port St. Lucie. Lawns can accumulate leaves during storms in any season, and it's critical to clear debris before a storm during the Atlantic hurricane season.

In addition, humid areas like Port St. Lucie may need leaf cleanup more often as humidity and moisture foster lawn diseases like dollar spot, brown patch, and fairy rings. And wet leaves also can become a haven for pests.

Bottom Line: Fall leaves are beautiful in Oak Hammock 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. It 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 enough in Southwest Florida, where there are fewer trees that drop leaves.
