Fall Cleanup: Prepare Your Yard for a Healthy Spring
Fall is more than just beautiful leaves—it’s the perfect time to prepare your lawn and landscape for the cold months ahead. A proper fall cleanup can improve curb appeal, protect your lawn, and make spring maintenance much easier.
Here are the key cleanup services we recommend from 606 Land & Snow.
1. ๐ Leaf Removal & Lawn Cleanup
A thick layer of leaves can block sunlight and trap moisture against the grass, potentially leading to bare or unhealthy areas. Regular removal—or properly mulching leaves into the lawn—helps keep turf healthier going into winter.
๏ปฟ
Our recommendation: Schedule cleanups throughout peak leaf season rather than waiting until the entire yard is covered.
2. ๐ฑ Final Mowing & Lawn Preparation
Your lawn may continue growing into the cooler months. Keeping up with the final cuts and avoiding excessively tall grass helps prepare the turf for winter.
๏ปฟ
Our recommendation: Continue mowing as needed until growth slows, while adjusting mowing height appropriately for your grass type.
3. ๐ฟ Garden Bed & Plant Cleanup
Remove weeds, diseased plant material, and excessive debris from garden beds. However, not everything needs to be cut back—some healthy perennials and grasses can provide winter habitat and food for wildlife.
๏ปฟ
Our recommendation: Take a selective approach rather than clearing every plant completely.
4. ๐ Mulching & Protecting Garden Beds
A properly applied layer of mulch can help protect plant roots, conserve moisture, and provide insulation as temperatures drop.
๏ปฟ
Our recommendation: Refresh mulch where needed, but avoid piling it directly against tree trunks or plant stems.
5. ๐ณ Tree, Shrub & Branch Cleanup
Fall is a good opportunity to identify and remove dead, damaged, or problematic branches before winter weather arrives.
๏ปฟ
Our recommendation: Focus on branches that are dead, damaged, or creating a safety concern rather than heavily pruning everything.
6. ๐งน Final Property Cleanup
A professional fall cleanup should finish with the small details—clearing leaves and debris from lawns, walkways, patios, landscape beds, and other visible areas.
๏ปฟ
Our recommendation: Do a final cleanup after most leaves have fallen, then remove remaining debris before winter sets in.

Robotic lawnmowers and professional installation
Robotic lawnmowers are the way of the future and it’s time for the U.S. to do its part to reduce daily carbon emissions. The market is expected to grow exponentially over the years to come and big brands are jumping into the market at an increasing rate such as Husqvarna, Ambrogio, Stihl, and Segway… imagine never having to worry about mowing your lawn ever again and it looking freshly cut every day.
In addition, there is a wide range of these mowers available, and for good reason. The slope, size, obstacles, grass type, and many other things make it a unique project for each lawn. When selecting a robot mower one should make sure to consult a professional as each property has unique challenges.
For landscapers, the holy grail at the moment is wire-free devices that one can “drop and go” and use as supplemental labor. The technologies needed to achieve this (RTK, GPS, remote control, AI) are believed to be very close to being available but we have not seen it accomplished yet. The truth is, while there are similar types of devices that have been on the market for years a lawn needs a special type of attention. Also, a lawn, is in fact a quite rough terrain for a robot to navigate.
Because of all this, it is advised to speak to professionals before installing a robot mower system at your home.
