Fall Yard & Autumn Garden Cleanup in Ottawa
Fall yard and autumn garden cleanup is the last chance to protect your property before it spends four to five months under heavy Ottawa snow. Leaves left lying on the grass mat down into a wet layer that blocks light and air, breeding snow mould and dead patches by spring. Clearing leaf layers, winterizing flowerbeds, cutting back perennials, and giving the lawn a final cut sends your property into winter fully protected.
How we approach it
Fall Cleanup, done for Ottawa properties
Leaf removal and garden winterizing are the core of our service. We vacuum and rake leaves from turf, clear autumn debris out of garden beds, fence lines, window wells, patio corners, and interlock joints, then bag and haul everything away on our trailers. You're not left with rows of soggy paper bags at the curb.
Our fall cleanup crews work across Ottawa, from mature-canopy streets in the Glebe, Old Ottawa South, Alta Vista, and Westboro, where maples and oaks drop leaves for weeks, to Nepean, Barrhaven, Kanata, Stittsville, and Riverside South. Most leaves come down between early October and early November, and fall cleanup dates fill quickly once they do, so book as early in the season as you can.
How the job runs
- 01Book your dateWe quote from your address and photos or a quick look, and set a visit for after most of your trees have dropped, or several passes if they drop late.
- 02Clear the leavesLeaves are cleared from the lawn, beds, fence lines, window wells, patios, and interlock, down to clean grass and soil.
- 03Beds and final mowSpent perennials are cut back, beds are cleared, and the lawn gets its last cut of the season so it goes into winter short and upright.
- 04Haul awayEverything is bagged and taken away on our trailer, and driveways and walkways are blown clean.

Questions
Fall Cleanup in Ottawa, answered
What people ask us most about this service in this area.
Book in September or early October. Most Ottawa trees drop their leaves between early October and early November, and the best time for a single cleanup is after most of them are down but before the first lasting snow. Properties under big maples and oaks often do better with two passes, one mid-season and one at the end.

“We had a great experience with Adel's Yard services. We needed our backyard cleared of leaves and debris left from the autumn and winter. They came on time and worked hard, leaving our yard fresh and ready for the season. Then we asked them to power-wash our deck. Again, on time and thorough. We will use them again.”
