Don’t Let Leaves Creep Up on You!

As the spooky season arrives, don’t let your yard turn into a haunted mess! Those creeping leaves, overgrown shrubs, and hidden debris can quickly make your landscape look frightful. At Balanced Environments, LLC, we offer professional fall clean-up services to keep your outdoor spaces neat and well-maintained—so your yard stays inviting, not eerie!

Fallen leaves might seem harmless, but they can pile up fast, smothering your lawn and creating the perfect hiding spot for pests, and the perfect growing conditions for turf molds. And overgrown shrubs? They can make your yard look like it’s straight out of a ghost story! Our team will handle everything from leaf removal to pruning and debris clean-up, ensuring your landscape is ready for winter.

The Benefits of Leaf Mulch

While clearing away leaves, don’t let them go to waste! Leaf mulch is an excellent, eco-friendly alternative to traditional bark mulch. But it’s crucial that leaf mulch is free of grass debris—otherwise, you could end up with turf seeds sprouting in your planting beds and tree rings!

Leaf mulch, made from composted leaves, provides rich, natural nutrients for your soil. It’s typically composted for several months to break down and offer those benefits.

Leaf mulch enriches the soil, improves water retention, and enhances the growth of plants without the risk of introducing chemicals or synthetic materials found in some bark mulches. Leaf mulch is more expensive than bark mulch—about 11% more expensive—but both have their place in the landscape. Leaf mulch is ideal for top dressing perennial or English gardens, where it enhances plant growth and maintains well-draining, moist soil conditions.

The decaying process of leaf mulch results in well-draining, moist garden soils that mimic a woodland environment. It decomposes at a cooler temperature, taking 2-3 years to fully break down, while effectively suppressing weeds—by up to 84% in the following growing season. Leaf mulch is applied at a depth of 2 inches.

This fall, let Balanced Environments take care of your clean-up needs and help you make the most of your fallen leaves with high-quality, grass-free leaf mulch. Contact us today to schedule your fall clean-up and keep your yard looking polished, not petrifying!
