Professional Leaf Removal Service in Winston-Salem, NC

Colorful fall foliage signals the start of sweater weather, but raking leaves from your Winston-Salem lawn isn’t the coziest way to enjoy the season. 

Don’t give up your free time. Lawn Love makes leaf removal easy. Our local lawn care pros in Winston-Salem don’t just mow, they also handle leaf removal in the fall.

Leaves usually start falling in October in Winston-Salem, and leaf removal tends to be needed until early December. In fact, Winston-Salem has free leaf pickup from November 4 to January. 

The most common trees that shed leaves in Winston-Salem include:

• Red maple
• Sweetgum
• River birch
• Eastern redbud

Leaf removal isn’t tied to just fall or winter in Winston-Salem. Heavy winds and storms can plaster your lawn with leaves any time of year, so we handle storm cleanup as well.

Humid areas, like Winston-Salem, may need more frequent leaf cleanup, as humidity and moisture foster lawn diseases like dollar spot, brown patch, and pythium blight. Moist leaves blanketing your lawn can attract pests looking for a new home. 

Bottom Line: Fall leaves are beautiful in the Reynolda Gardens, 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?

This depends on where you live and your own lawn. 

Biweekly or monthly leaf removal is common in the Carolinas in the fall.
