Ian Moreland - Plant Daddy Consulting & Lawn maintenance: I had a small lawn maintenance business when I was 15 years old, mowing and edging around my neighborhood. That was 20 years ago. About 5 years ago, I did a landscaping project for a family member. Pictures of my work got around, and I've been doing landscaping part-time ever since while maintaining a job in social work and education. I added lawn maintenance last year and decided to go full time with both this year.

LawnStarter’s Leaf Removal Service in San Diego

When it’s finally fall in San Diego, the last thing you want to do is spend your free time sweating over leaf removal. Raking, blowing, and bagging leaves can take hours from your weekends. 

Want your time back? Let LawnStarter’s leaf removal crews in San Diego take leaf cleanup off your to-do list. 

LawnStarter’s leaf removal service in San Diego costs $95.85 on average for up to a 1-acre lawn, but pricing is based on the size of your yard and the amount of leaves on your property.

What’s included in LawnStarter’s leaf removal service:

Our local leaf cleanup pros rake or blow the leaves onto a tarp and then bag them.

Leaf removal season in San Diego:

In San Diego, the leaf removal season usually starts in November and runs through February. However, you may find leaves all over your lawn due to the Santa Ana winds, an El Niño, or any strong storm, regardless of the season. Drought also can cause trees to drop their leaves.

What to do with all those leaves:

Place them in your green bin or take the extra to the Miramar landfill. 

Why is leaf cleanup important?

A layer of leaves smothers grass, attracts pests, and lowers your curb appeal. (A leaf-covered lawn also looks like a lot of work to would-be homebuyers.)

How often should I have my leaves removed?

In San Diego, one-time leaf removal (or twice per year) is common, as there are fewer trees that drop leaves.

Leaf removal takes hours of back-straining work. Let LawnStarter’s local leaf removal pros handle leaf cleanup. You’ll get back all that time you spend in your yard raking, blowing, and bagging leaves.
