Leaf removal in Cottleville

Cottleville is about fifteen minutes from our shop at 2743 Hwy P in O'Fallon. The trees planted when Cottleville Trails, Prairie Bluff, and Ashford Knoll went in are now big enough to bury a lawn, and the older lots near Old Town and along Dardenne Creek have real canopy. Our cleanup clears beds, fence lines, and the lawn, then hauls it all away in our truck the same day.

Cottleville's yard waste program only accepts paper leaf bags in certain months and caps them at twenty a day, and the carts are small for a full fall drop. Many subdivisions here are HOA-maintained on the common ground and have standards for how yards look through the season. We take the leaves off your property entirely and finish with a short final mow.

From the first call to a finished yard, here is what to expect.

Pick the timing

Most Cottleville yards need one cleanup in mid November after the oaks let go, or two visits if you have a heavy canopy.

We clear and haul

The crew blows and gathers everything, then loads it into our truck the same day. You never bag a leaf or wait on a pickup date.

Ready for winter

The lawn gets a final short mow and the beds are cleared, so your yard is set up to come back thick in spring.

Timing a Cottleville leaf cleanup

The maples and pears in the 1990s subdivisions are down by early November, and the oaks keep dropping into late November. For most Cottleville lots one cleanup in the second half of November is right. Yards along the creek corridor with older oaks do better with two visits. If you are also on our mowing route, we fold the final mow and the cleanup into one price.

What leaf removal costs in Cottleville

Leaf cleanups in Cottleville are priced per visit after a quick look at the property. The price depends on:

Tree canopy. A yard under three mature oaks drops many times the leaves of a new-subdivision lot with young trees.

Lot size. More lawn and more bed edge means more blowing and gathering time.

One visit or two. Splitting the job into an early and a late visit costs more in total but keeps the lawn from smothering.

Haul-away volume. Every cleanup includes haul-away. Very heavy drops take an extra truckload.

Leaf Removal questions from Cottleville homeowners

Most Cottleville trees finish dropping between late October and the third week of November, with pin oaks holding on the longest. A single cleanup in mid to late November catches most of it. Heavy-canopy yards do better with an early visit and a final visit.
A light layer can be mulched into the lawn and is good for the soil. A thick, wet layer blocks light and air, and fescue underneath it thins out by spring. If the leaves cover the grass, they need to come off.
No. We haul everything away in our own truck the same day, so you are not tied to Cottleville yard waste pickup days or bag limits.
Yes. Beds, window wells, and the strip along the fence are where leaves pile up deepest, and they are part of every cleanup.
Yes. A spring cleanup in Cottleville clears what blew in over winter, cuts back ornamental grasses and perennials, and gets beds ready for mulch.
