Leaf removal in Hazelwood

Hazelwood is about thirty minutes from our shop at 2743 Hwy P in O'Fallon. The city's post-war subdivisions, like Flamingo Park, Pleasant Hollow, and Riverwood, are under sixty-year-old oaks and maples, and the drop is heavy. Hazelwood runs a free loose-leaf curb collection each fall, one pass per street by a published schedule, with leaves raked to the curb by Monday morning of your week.

We can work either way. The standard cleanup clears beds, fence lines, window wells, and the lawn, then hauls everything away the same day. If you would rather use the city program, we clear the yard and stage the leaves at the curb the weekend before your street's week, kept off the sidewalk and away from storm drains as the city requires. Either option ends with a short final mow.

What a leaf cleanup includes

Blowing leaves out of beds, corners, window wells, and along fences

Hauling the leaves away in our truck, so nothing sits at the curb

A final mow so the lawn is tidy and short going into winter

Clearing debris from patios, walks, steps, and the driveway

One-time cleanups or two visits spread across the drop season

How leaf removal works in Hazelwood

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

Tell us about your yard

Call (636) 293-9306 or send the form with your Hazelwood address and what you need. We reply the same business day.

Pick the timing

Most Hazelwood 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.

Working around the city's leaf schedule

The city's collection weeks run from mid November into mid December, and each street gets one pass. If your oaks are still dropping after your week, the rest has to be hauled, which is where our truck comes in. Most Hazelwood yards do best with one full cleanup in late November, and the heavily shaded lots get an early visit staged for the city and a final visit hauled away.

What leaf removal costs in Hazelwood

Leaf cleanups in Hazelwood 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 Hazelwood homeowners

Most Hazelwood 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 Hazelwood 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 Hazelwood clears what blew in over winter, cuts back ornamental grasses and perennials, and gets beds ready for mulch.
