When Should You Schedule Leaf Removal in Memphis? Timing Matters

Memphis homeowners often ask: when's the best time for leaf removal? The answer isn't as simple as "after all the leaves fall." Here's what you need to know about timing your leaf clean-up.

Don't Wait Until Spring

The biggest mistake homeowners make is waiting until spring to deal with fall leaves. By then, the damage is done. Matted, wet leaves have already smothered your grass, invited disease, and created bare spots. Spring leaf removal is damage control, not prevention.

Multiple Cleanings Beat One Big Job

Memphis's extended fall means leaves drop over several weeks. One massive clean-up at the end misses the point—early-falling leaves are already harming your lawn while you wait. Two or three cleanings throughout fall keep your grass healthy and make each job faster and easier.

Watch the Weather

Dry leaves are lighter and easier to remove than wet ones. After heavy rain, leaves mat down and stick to everything, making removal harder and more time-consuming. Schedule service during dry stretches when possible, but don't delay so long that you miss the window entirely.

Before the First Freeze

Get your final leaf removal done before Memphis's first hard freeze. Once leaves freeze to the ground, they're much harder to remove, and the damage to your grass accelerates. Late November to early December is usually your last good window.
