Professional Leaf Removal Service in Avon, IN

Avon’s leaf season comes with a side of lore: stroll the back way from Washington Township Park, and you’ll spot the Haunted Bridge over White Lick Creek. It's great for photos, but not so great when those same oaks dump a blanket on your lawn and you'll have to switch from ghost-spotting to leaf-bagging.

There is an easier, faster way. Lawn Love makes leaf removal easy. Our local lawn care pros in Avon also handle leaf removal and leaf cleanup in the fall. 

Lawn Love’s leaf removal price starts as low as $135.27 for 1 acre, but pricing is based on the size and amount of leaves on your lawn. Our local leaf cleanup pros rake or blow the leaves onto a tarp and then bag them.

Leaves usually start falling in October in Avon, and leaf removal tends to be needed through early November. Avon’s leaf collection program starts in late October and runs until the second Friday in December. Remember not to bag leaves for this collection service. Rake them onto the grass between the sidewalk and the street.

If you prefer to bag your leaves, Republic Services offers yard waste pickup using designated yard waste bags during the collection season, which runs from April 15 through November 30.  After this yard waste collection period ends, leaves can be bagged in regular trash bags and placed curbside on bulk day for collection. 

Most common trees that shed leaves in Avon:

• American basswood
• American elm
• Common hackberry
• Honey locust

Leaf removal isn’t tied to just fall or winter in Avon. Lawns can be covered with leaves after storms in any season. 

Humid areas, like Avon, may need leaf cleanup more often as humidity and moisture foster lawn diseases like red thread, brown patch, and dollar spot. Moist leaves covering your lawn can also become a haven for pests.

Bottom Line: Fall leaves on the ground and in the trees are beautiful in Avon Town Hall Park, just not as a carpet 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?

This depends on where you live and your own lawn. 

Biweekly or monthly leaf removal is common in the Northeast and Midwest, where yards tend to have more trees that drop their leaves in fall. 

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