Wet leaves left on St. Augustine through a Louisiana winter come off in spring with the grass underneath them. On a plan, the leaves leave with us.

## Leaf Removal in Baton Rouge

Live oaks drop through the spring, pecans and sweetgums drop through the fall, and a lawn buried under leaves for a few weeks in a wet winter comes out thin, matted and full of fungus. Leaf removal is part of our year-round plans in leaf-heavy yards and a service call for everyone else, across Baton Rouge and Livingston Parish.

## Why Leaf Removal Matters for Your Lawn

A layer of wet leaves blocks light and traps moisture against the grass. St. Augustine in particular thins fast under it. Leaves that wash into beds smother the plants, and leaves that reach the drainage grates and catch basins block the system you paid to install. Getting them up on a schedule is part of keeping the lawn and the drainage working.

## How Leaf Removal Works

1. Blow the leaves out of the beds, off the hard surfaces and away from the foundation and the drains.
2. Collect from the lawn with the mower or by hand where the yard is tight.
3. Haul off or mulch in place depending on volume and what you prefer.
4. Clear the gutters' discharge points and the catch basin grates while we are there.

## When to Schedule

In heavy-drop yards the plan visits handle it through the fall. Where one big drop comes at once, a dedicated leaf removal visit in late fall and another after the oaks finish in spring keeps the lawn from sitting under a mat for weeks.

## Leaf Removal for Different Properties

Residential yards under mature oaks, commercial grounds where leaves blow into parking lots and drains, and pool yards where leaves in the water are the whole problem. The crew that mows the property does the leaf work, so nothing is missed between two contractors.
