Raking leaves is a time-consuming task and can leave many with sore backs and blisters on their hands. Although many home enthusiasts enjoy clearing their own leaves, others prefer to hire a professional company. Hodgson’s Home Services has a number of reasons why we are the best choice for your leaf removal needs.
We are efficient
Hodgson’s Home Services has powerful machines that will blow the leaves to either the curb, for County Pick Up, or into the woods – dependent upon customer choice. We will also bag the leaves if requested to do so.
Our prices are competitive
Our fees are $35 per man per hour and most lawns can be cleared for our minimum 2 man/2hour rate. (Town homes should call as they are even less expensive and we will offer special pricing). There is an additional charge of $75.00 for us to haul the leaves away. Of course, homes with heavy leaf fall will require extra time.
Excess leaves can kill grass
Excess leaves on the lawn blocks sunlight and reduces water evaporation, which can cause fungus, mold and disease. These things alone can wipe out a lawn in a year or two, even if it’s cleaned up in the spring. Just like anything in life, a healthy lawn can take a hit and bounce back, but a stressed lawn can be sent over the edge with leaves being allowed to sit for a period of time.” Letting leaves sit can leave you needing to reseed. Wet, decomposing leaves can also be a breeding ground for mosquitoes.
“There are also some plant diseases which get cycled back into the plant as the leaves decompose into the soil at the base of the plant
The way your lawn is left in the fall, is how it will look all winter long. Winter can be depressing enough without leaving a pile of leaves that appear after every snow thaw. Aside from it looking bad during the winter months, there are a couple of issues that will come the following spring: dead or damaged grass and higher spring cleanup costs
We are adaptable
Whether you want a one time late fall leaf removal or require multiple clean ups during the season, we will provide the service you expect.
