Fall Cleanup in Fairfield, OH

Fall Cleanup for Fairfield properties

Flat ground is what makes a Fairfield fall cleanup different. The lots do not drain, so leaves that would blow clear of a sloped yard sit where they land and mat down into a wet layer, and wet leaves packed on thin builder turf is how a lawn comes out of winter patchy. The newer sections toward Indian Springs and Fairfield East have younger trees, so one pass usually holds. Around Symmes Corner and the older Fairplay streets the trees are bigger and the beds are established, so those take a cut back as well as a clear. Commercial frontage along the Route 4 corridor gets the leaves off the walks and the entrances, because wet leaves on concrete are slick well before the first freeze.

Most of Fairfield sits on flat, evenly graded lots, so the mowing is fast and the stripes run clean. The trade off is water. Flat ground on Butler County clay does not drain, and the low corner of the yard stays soft for days after a storm. Around Symmes Corner and the older Fairplay and Stockton streets the lots are larger with established plantings that need real trimming. Newer sections toward Indian Springs and Fairfield East have younger trees and thinner turf that responds well to fall aeration.

What Fairfield properties run into

• Flat lots on clay soil that hold water in the low corner after every rain
• Thin builder turf in the newer sections that goes patchy by August
• Commercial lots along the Route 4 corridor that have to be open early

What is included

• Leaves off the lawn

  Blown, collected and removed. Wet leaves mat down and smother grass, and matted grass under snow is where snow mold starts.

• Beds cut back

  Spent perennials cut down, beds cleared of leaf litter, and the edge tidied so the beds look right through the winter.

• Drives, walks and patios

  Leaves cleared off hard surfaces so they are not sitting there staining concrete or turning into ice.

• Debris hauled away

  It goes on the trailer and leaves with us. You are not left with bags at the curb or a pile behind the garage.

What it costs

Fall cleanup is quoted per property. How many trees you have, how deep the leaves are, and whether the debris gets hauled off all change the number. Estimates in Fairfield are free.
