Professional Leaf Removal Service in Portland, ME

Fall leaves add vibrant colors to the landscape, but raking them from your Portland lawn can take up a lot of your time during weekends. 

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

Lawn Love’s leaf removal price in Portland starts as low as $264.83 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 typically start falling in mid-October in Portland, and leaf removal is usually needed through early December. Portland schedules a free curbside leaf collection during a single week each autumn. Residents rake loose leaves into the street by the day before their zone’s collection. You also can drop off leaves year-round at Riverside Recycling.

Your lawn in Portland may need more frequent leaf cleanup as humidity and moisture foster lawn diseases. Moist leaves covering your lawn can also become an attractive environment for pests. A leaf-covered lawn also isn’t a good look for would-be homebuyers.

Bottom Line: Fall leaves on the ground and in the trees are beautiful in the Western Promenade, just not as a carpet on your lawn. 

Lawn Love makes leaf removal easy. Let our Portland local leaf cleanup crews remove the leaves from your lawn. Get an instant quote in seconds. Get back all that time you would spend raking and bagging leaves.

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.

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. Here in Portland, Maine, biweekly or monthly leaf removal is common, as yards tend to have more trees that drop their leaves in fall.
