Booking fall cleanups now
Leaves in Rockland come down on a schedule. Once the oaks and maples start dropping, every property in the county needs the same work in the same few weeks, and the cleanup route fills fast. The window closes when the ground freezes and the first snow arrives, and leaves left on a lawn through winter mat down, smother the grass, and leave dead patches in spring.
A light scattering of leaves can be chopped up by a mower and left to break down. The heavy cover that falls on a yard with mature oaks or maples cannot. It sits in wet layers, holds moisture against the crowns of shrubs and perennials, and gives mice and ticks a place to spend the winter. That is the volume a real cleanup is for.
Getting on the schedule now means the property gets cleaned up while the timing still works.

From cleanup to mowing to plowing
A cleanup can be the first job MDK does on a property, and it does not need to be the last. The same company that clears the leaves in November can keep the driveway open all winter with snow removal, then come back in spring for the cleanup and start weekly lawn maintenance when the grass starts growing.
Spring and fall cleanups are part of MDK's full-service lawn care. That means one call for every season and a company that already knows the property: where the beds are, where the gate is, where the plow should push the snow.

Cleanup questions
-
Now. Routes fill as the leaves start to drop, and the work has to be done before the ground freezes. Booking early gets the property on the schedule while the timing still works.
-
A light layer can be mowed and left to break down. A heavy layer mats down over winter, smothers the grass, and leaves dead patches in spring. It also holds moisture against shrubs and gives mice and ticks a place to winter.
-
It depends on the size of the property, the number of trees and beds, and how much leaf volume the yard collects. Mark prices each property after seeing it, and the estimate is free.
-
Spring cleanup gets the beds cleared and edged so they are ready for mulch. Mulching itself is covered on the gardening and planting page.
