Leaves kill lawns
A thick layer left for weeks blocks light and traps damp, leaving yellow, mossy patches in spring.
What's included
- Lawns cleared. Leaves off the grass before they block the light and kill patches.
- Beds and borders. Raked out without damaging plants.
- Paths, steps and drives. Cleared and swept so they're safe to walk on.
- Drains and gullies. Leaves cleared from around outside drains.
- All leaves taken away. Nothing bagged up and left for you.
How often
One or two visits between October and December for most gardens. Gardens with big trees nearby may need a visit every few weeks while the leaves are falling.

Good to know
Why it's worth doing

Leaves on paths, steps and decking are one of the most common winter slip hazards.
