Leaves begin to fall in The Woodlands in October, and leaf cleanup peaks in November and December when most trees shed their foliage. The Woodlands Township offers free weekly yard waste pickup.

The most common trees that shed leaves in The Woodlands include:

• Live oak
• Sweetgum
• Pecan
• Red maple

Although The Woodlands sits inland, tropical storms and hurricanes still push through with soaking rains and gusty winds that scatter leaves and limbs. We handle post-storm yard cleanup, too.

Humid areas, like The Woodlands, may need leaf cleanup more often since humidity and moisture foster lawn diseases such as red thread, brown patch, and pythium blight. Damp leaves covering your grass can also become a haven for pests.

Bottom Line: Those fiery fall colors belong in the trees, not on your lawn. Let Lawn Love clear the mess so you can enjoy a leaf-free yard.

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.
