Professional Leaf Removal Service in Lubbock, TX

Fall leaves are beautiful to look at, but are a pain (sometimes physically) to rake, bag, or vacuum from your Lubbock lawn. 

And after escaping the sweltering summer heat, wouldn't you rather attend a TTU football game than do more yard work?

You can. Lawn Love makes leaf removal easy. Our leaf cleanup pros rake or blow the leaves onto a tarp and then bag them. Pricing starts as low as $171.11 per acre but is based on the size of your property and the amount of leaves on your lawn. 

Leaves usually start falling in October in the Hub City and leaf removal tends to be needed from October to December. However, live oaks molt most of their leaves each spring before new growth fills them in again.

Lubbock has free leaf pickup year round with regular trash pickup and on-demand pickup up for larger yards. 

The most common trees that shed leaves in Lubbock include:

• Cedar elm
• Pecan
• Oaks
• Redbud
• Hackberry
• Mesquite

Leaf removal isn’t tied to just fall in Lubbock. Storms and heavy wind can strip leaves off trees any time of year. (We offer yard cleanup after storms, too.)

Fall brings a break from the heat, but moisture from cooler weather fosters lawn diseases like red thread, brown patch, and leaf spot. 

Bottom Line: Fall leaves are beautiful at Maxey 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?

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.
