Fall leaf cleanup that clears the whole property, from the lawn to the corners and the curb
Your property clean and free of leaves come fall. Pureleaf removes all the leaves from the property in a safe manner.
Chapter 01
What leaves do to turf when they stay
A thin scatter of leaves is harmless. A thick, wet mat is a different story. Matted leaves block light from the grass underneath, hold moisture against the crowns, and make a damp, sheltered place where mold and pests settle in over winter. The lawn that comes out of a heavy leaf cover in March is often thin and patchy where the leaves lay longest.
That matters most on fescue lawns, which are still growing in fall and need light to do it. Bermuda and zoysia are heading toward dormancy, but a soggy blanket on dormant turf still invites trouble. Either way, getting the leaves off before they pack down is cheaper than repairing the lawn in spring.

How the crew clears a property
Pureleaf runs a leaf vac and a dump trailer, so leaves leave the property instead of getting pushed to the lot line. The crew works the lawn first, then goes after the places a mower never reaches: along fences, behind shrubs, in the corners of beds and against the foundation, where leaves collect and stay wet longest.
Beds get attention too. Leaves packed into mulch and around plant bases smother low growth and hide weeds. Clearing them out leaves the beds ready for winter and a clean start in spring.
Curb pickup is part of the work as well. One reviewer on Pureleaf's reviews page described a large leaf pickup at the curb, finished with modern equipment, and said he was very happy with the work and the price.

Timing in Northwest Arkansas
The rule of thumb is to clear leaves before they pack down, not by the calendar. A dry week after a heavy drop is the easy time to lift them, and a wet week is when they turn to a mat that is harder to move and harder on the grass.
Oaks around Springdale, Rogers and Bentonville hold their leaves late, and maples and others drop earlier, so a property with a mix of trees does not finish falling on one date. Cleaning too early means a second mess a few weeks later.
For a yard with a few early droppers, one pass is often enough. For a property under big oaks, plan on a first visit once the bulk is down and a follow-up after the last of them let go. The end-of-summer trim of trees and bushes comes before the leaves, so the crew is not cleaning up behind branches that are still being cut.
Getting leaves off your list
Getting a quote takes three steps: send a text, chat on the phone, receive a quote. Call or text (479) 601-2057 with your address and a short note about the trees, and Pureleaf will take it from there across Lowell, Fayetteville, Bella Vista and the rest of Northwest Arkansas. If Pureleaf already mows your lawn, the same crew can handle leaves when fall comes, since they already know the yard.
