While the first day of Fall is in late September, the peak time for a seasonal cleanup is in November.

Now is the time to take advantage of Stockman’s unique capabilities in leaf removal and cleanup.

Premium Equipment & Expertise

• Using commercial grade leaf blowers, mowers, and vacuums creates a faster, more complete service for each property
• Large piles of leaves can be difficult to move with residential grade equipment, leaving the property unfinished, or taking too long to finish
• Teams of 2 or Teams of 10+ to handle any size property
• No need to pile leaves near the road and wait for township removal
• Complete same-day removal prevents leaves from blowing back onto your property

Tree Variety and Timing

There are a variety of species of trees that are common in Pittsburgh. The challenge with a fall leaf cleanup is to know when to plan for the cleanups. If you clean up your yard too early, you will have to continue cleaning it up more times throughout the fall. If you wait too long, you will have a significant pile of leaves that can be overwhelming to remove.

Common Pittsburgh trees and their timing:

• Birch, dogwood, maple, hemlock, and sycamore: Early to mid October
• Oak trees: Can hold leaves until winter
• Our sales team identifies your specific trees for optimal scheduling

Weather-Smart Operations

As Landscape Professionals, we take pride in understanding Pittsburgh’s weather:

• Daily forecast monitoring
• Flexible scheduling for weather changes
• Early frost and cold front accommodation
• Equipment adapted for challenging conditions

What does a fall leaf cleanup service include? Our typical leaf removal service includes removing all leaves and yard debris from your property entirely. This includes our Team hauling the leaves away in our trucks and disposing of them for you. We have add-on options for your cleanup that include cutting back perennials, such as ornamental grasses.

I’d like to do one large fall cleanup at the end of the year, is that possible? Yes! If you don’t mind the leaves on your property for a bit, you can wait to do one large cleanup. Please understand that this may take more time to complete for our Team, as leaf accumulation could be significant. However, we do have the proper equipment to handle these situations.

How many visits do you normally suggest? We have found through our many years of experience that it’s best to do at least 3 visits for each property. This allows your property to maintain a clean look all fall, even while the leaves are falling. Multiple trips can be even more cost effective than one big cleanup at the end of the year, due to the lack of sustained accumulation of leaves.

Can you pile my leaves by the street for township pickup? Yes! We will plan accordingly around the pickup time for your neighborhood so that you don’t have a pile of leaves sitting in front of your property for weeks at a time. The last thing we want after cleaning up your property is to have all the leaves blow right back in while they’re waiting to be picked up by the township.
