Services We Provide

Our autumn leaf clearance service is designed to protect lawns, beds and hard surfaces during peak leaf fall. Typical tasks include:

  • Leaf removal from lawns, paths, patios, drives and gravel areas
  • Blowing, raking and vacuuming to collect and remove autumn leaves efficiently
  • Sweeping steps, entrances and slippery walkways to reduce slip hazards
  • Optional mulching of suitable leaf material for reuse on-site
  • Bagging and green waste handling, including loading and transport
  • Disposal via licensed green-waste routes or composting on-site where requested
  • Bed protection and border care: clearing, topping up mulch and protecting beds for winter
  • Lawn care autumn essentials: preventing lawn smothering by leaves, light debris lift and final seasonal mow if booked with lawn mowing
  • Hard-surface finish: final blow-down and tidy of patios and decks; pair with patio cleaning or driveway cleaning if needed
  • Optional leaf clearance from gutters (gutter leaf clearing): book alongside gutter cleaning for a seamless visit
  • Hedge-base and shrub-area clears to reduce rot and pest harborage
  • End-of-visit walkthrough and care notes for ongoing maintenance

If your garden is significantly overgrown or congested, we can combine the visit with overgrown garden clearance or a broader seasonal tidy-up for a complete reset.

Limitations & Specialist Requests

We like to be clear about what’s included, and where a bespoke plan is best:

  • Roof work beyond standard gutter access is not included. We do not work at unsafe heights or on fragile roofs.
  • Tree work above safe reach is handled via our tree pruning service or specialist partners where necessary.
  • Heavy construction debris, soil excavation or hard landscaping changes are not part of leaf clearance; consider soft landscaping if you’re planning improvements.
  • Wildlife considerations: If we find nesting or protected species, we will pause and agree a safe approach in line with regulations.
  • Restricted access or complex multi-level sites may require an additional visit or a tailored method statement.

For anything unusual—large estates, communal blocks, schools or business parks—ask us for a site visit so we can plan correctly.

  • Access and parking arrangements
  • Volume of green waste to remove versus on-site composting
  • Add-ons such as gutter leaf clearing, mulching and autumn lawn care
  • One-off visit versus repeat visits during peak fall
  • Site complexity (levels, steps, narrow side access)

Local Service In North London

We understand the local mix of properties in North London—from terraced homes with narrow side passages to larger plots and communal gardens. Our teams plan for:

  • Resident-only parking, timed bays and loading zones common around N
  • Access challenges such as basements, shared side returns and stair-only routes
  • Leaf load variations from street trees and mature garden trees
  • Courtyard, patio and deck spaces that become slippery with wet leaves
  • Commercial premises and managed blocks requiring tidy common areas and documentation

Quality, Safety & Compliance

  • Trained teams: Operatives are briefed on safe machinery use, manual handling and site-specific risks.
  • Insured service: Public liability cover in place; details available on insurance.
  • Responsible disposal: Green waste is handled through licensed, environmentally responsible routes, with on-site composting offered where practical.
  • Careful methods: We avoid scalping, tearing turf or damaging borders; we use appropriate nozzle settings and raking techniques to protect surfaces.
  • Weather-aware: We monitor conditions to minimise disruption and to prevent smearing or damage to wet lawns and beds.
  • Sustainability: Mulching suitable leaves reduces haulage and adds organic matter to borders, helping protect beds for winter.

FAQs

  • How often should I book autumn leaf clearance?
    Many gardens in North London benefit from two to four visits during peak drop. We can advise after seeing tree types and exposure.

  • Can you collect and remove autumn leaves and leave some for composting?
    Yes. We can remove the bulk and create a tidy leaf-mould bay with the remainder, or mulch directly onto borders where suitable.

  • Do you offer optional leaf clearance from gutters?
    Yes. Pair this service with our gutter cleaning. We’ll confirm access and any height limitations beforehand.

  • What should I do before you arrive?
    Please ensure gates are unlocked and pets are secure. If parking is restricted in North London, let us know so we can plan equipment unloading.

  • Will leaf blowers damage my lawn or disturb neighbours?
    We use professional equipment with care and keep noise considerate. On sensitive lawns we combine low-power blowing with raking.

  • Can you prevent lawn smothering by leaves between visits?
    We can schedule interim light clears or integrate autumn lawn care with lawn care to keep grass healthy through the season.

  • Do you work in wet weather?
    We operate in light rain, adjusting methods to avoid mess and lawn damage. In severe weather we’ll reschedule promptly.

  • Can you provide documentation for block managers or insurers?
    Yes. We can supply visit reports, waste transfer notes, and risk assessments where required.
