Leaf cleaning
Leaf Cleaning Service
Fallen leaves can quickly turn paths slippery, block drains, and smother grass and flower beds. Our leaf cleaning service keeps your outdoor areas safe, tidy, and healthy throughout autumn and into winter. We remove leaf build up from lawns, beds, patios, driveways, and hard to reach corners, leaving your property looking cared for and ready for the season ahead.
Why Leaf Removal Matters
Leaves are not just a cosmetic issue. When they sit for too long, they hold moisture against turf and soil, which can encourage moss, fungal problems, and bare patches in spring. Wet leaves also create a safety risk on steps and walkways, especially in shaded areas where they decompose into a slick layer.
Clearing leaves also protects your drainage. Gutters, channel drains, and gully traps can clog fast during heavy leaf fall, leading to pooling water and staining on paving. If you already book garden maintenance services, leaf cleaning fits perfectly into regular upkeep and prevents bigger jobs later.
- Healthier lawn by reducing damp, shaded conditions and improving airflow.
- Cleaner beds so plants are not smothered and pests have fewer hiding places.
- Safer surfaces on paths, patios, and entrances.
- Better drainage
What Is Included in Our Leaf Cleaning
Every property is different, so we tailor the visit to your layout and leaf load. We use the right mix of raking, blowing, and collection to clear efficiently without damaging borders or lawn edges. Where appropriate, we can also lightly lift leaves from delicate planting areas to avoid pulling up ground cover.
Areas We Clean
- Lawns and lawn margins, including around trees and shrubs
- Flower beds, borders, and gravel features
- Patios, paving, decking, and outdoor seating zones
- Driveways, footpaths, and entrances
- Drainage channels and problem corners where leaves collect
How We Handle Green Waste
Collected leaves are bagged and removed from the site or combined with other organic material if you prefer on site composting. We keep the work area neat as we go, so your property is left presentable, not piled with bags. If you need larger clear outs after storms or long periods of neglect, we can combine leaf removal with green waste removal to restore the space quickly.
Optional Add Ons
Leaf cleaning often reveals other small issues that can be fixed during the same visit. We can discuss these on site and agree the scope before any extra work begins.
- Light lawn tidy and edging along paths and borders
- Weed removal from paving joints and gravel
- Border tidying and removal of dead annuals
- Mulch top up for beds to protect soil through winter
Our Process, Timing, and What to Expect
We aim to make leaf cleaning simple for homeowners, landlords, and site managers. You can book a one off visit for a quick refresh or set up repeat visits during peak fall. In many cases, two or three visits across the season keeps the property consistently neat without needing a major clean at the end.
Step by Step Service
- Assessment of leaf volume, surface types, and any sensitive planting areas.
- Targeted clearing using rakes and blowers, with careful work near beds and edges.
- Collection into bags or a suitable container, keeping access routes clear.
- Final check for leftover piles, blocked drains, and slippery spots.
- Waste handling removal from site or agreed composting option.
Best Times to Book
Leaf drop can be unpredictable, especially with windy weather. A good rule is to schedule cleaning when leaves begin to blanket the lawn or when paths start to feel slippery. If you want ongoing care, pairing leaf visits with broader landscaping and gardening support helps keep everything under control from autumn through early spring.

Our leaf cleaning service is suitable for a wide range of properties. We work with homeowners who want a neat garden, landlords preparing for viewings, and commercial sites that need clear access and a professional appearance.

FAQ
How often should I book leaf cleaning during autumn?
Most properties benefit from a visit every 2 to 4 weeks during peak leaf fall. If you have several mature trees or heavy wind exposure, weekly cleaning may be more practical to prevent smothered lawns and slippery paths.
Will leaf blowing damage my lawn or flower beds?
We use controlled airflow and adjust the approach around delicate planting, gravel, and mulch. In sensitive areas we switch to hand raking and careful lifting to avoid disturbing roots and ground cover.
Do you remove the leaves or leave them on site?
We can bag and remove leaves as part of the service, or leave them for composting if you have a suitable area. The best option depends on volume, available space, and how quickly you want the site cleared.
