The very best leaf removal services in Phoenix

I think we can agree that a day drive to Oak Creek Canyon, Aravaipa Canyon, or other popular fall foliage spots near Phoenix is a more enjoyable way to spend your weekend than raking your lawn. So do that. We’ll take care of the leaves.

Lawn Love makes leaf removal easy. Our local lawn care pros in Phoenix don’t just mow, they also handle leaf removal and leaf cleanup in the fall. 

Lawn Love’s leaf removal  in Phoenix costs $105.39 on average for a 1-acre yard, but pricing is based on the size of your yard and the amount of leaves on your lawn. Our local leaf cleanup pros rake or blow the leaves onto a tarp and then bag them.

Leaves usually start falling in September in Phoenix, and leaf removal tends to be needed through December. At $5 per month, the Phoenix Public Works department has initiated the Green Organics Curbside Collection program that provides a separate container for leaves and yard waste in certain areas. 

Most common trees that shed leaves in Phoenix:

• Shamel ash
• Honey locust
• Desert willow

Leaf removal isn’t tied to just fall or winter in Phoenix. Storms and haboobs can plaster your lawn with leaves any time of the year. It’s OK. We offer yard cleanup after storms, too.

Bottom Line: You work too hard to spend your weekends dragging a rake around the yard. With Lawn Love, you don’t have to. 

Lawn Love Leaf Removal FAQ

How can leaves damage my lawn?

A thick layer of leaves:

• Smothers grass. Leaves block the sun, water, and air your grass needs. 
• Spurs lawn diseases (such as snow molds, red thread, and brown patch).
• Attracts pests (ants, termites, cockroaches, and rodents, for example).
• Increases weeds. A thick layer of moist leaves fuels weed growth.
• Lowers curb appeal. Your yard looks uncared for or like a lot of work to buyers.

How can you get rid of leaves in your yard?

• Hire a leaf removal crew. Easiest option, saves time, energy, and possible backache.
• Rake and bag leaves. This takes time and effort and can strain your back.
• Blow leaves and then bag them. It takes less time, but can strain your knees.
• Vacuum leaves. This takes even less time, but it’s a specialized and expensive service.
• Mulch leaves. Mulching mowers make this easy, and mulched leaves add nutrients.

What to do with the leaves you clean up?

• Place bags of leaves at the curb for easy pickup.
• Mulch them.
• Compost them. Leaf mold is often called gardener’s gold.
• Use them as insulation to protect root vegetables from the cold.

How much does leaf removal cost?

Your leaf removal price reflects these cost factors:

• Yard size
• Number of trees in your yard (more trees means more leaves)
• Amount of leaves (dry or wet leaves and thin or thick layer covering your grass)
• Leaf removal method (raking and bagging costs more because it takes more time)
• Time of year (leaf removal prices are highest in fall, which is peak season)

How often should I have my leaves removed?

One-time leaf removal (or twice per year) is usually enough in Arizona.
