Fall Leaf Cleanup in Shakopee, MN

From Southbridge and Dean Lakes to Jackson Heights and the older blocks downtown, we run tight neighborhood routes through November. Short drive times mean we can fit a cleanup in between rain days, and a crew that mows here all summer already knows your yard.

Leaf cleanup in Shakopee: what to expect

• Mature-tree neighborhoods like downtown Shakopee and the older blocks near the river drop the heaviest leaf loads in the southwest metro, usually in two waves. Two visits, early and late November, keep the lawn clear through both.
• Newer neighborhoods such as Southbridge, Dean Lakes and Jackson Heights have smaller trees and open lots. Most of those yards are a single visit and sit at the low end of our pricing.
• No bags at the curb and no trips to the compost site: everything we rake leaves on our truck the same day.

How a fall cleanup works

• Timing: the first route runs the first week of November, once most leaves are down. Second visits run the last week of November, weather permitting.
• No need to be home. Gate access is all we need, and you come home to a finished yard.
• Pricing: 2 mature trees are included in the base price, $75 for each additional mature tree, $50 if the yard is gated, rounded to the nearest $25. Minnesota sales tax is added.
• Pair it with an irrigation blowout ($15 a zone, $90 minimum) the same week, or sign up for seasonal snow removal so the same crew has you covered all winter.

Why it matters: leaves left under the snow mat down, smother the grass and invite snow mold, and the lawn comes back thin and patchy in April. One cleanup in November saves a spring of repair.
