Metcalfe's clay-loam keeps grass growing when leaves are falling. We time fall cleanup to catch the narrow window between peak drop and dormancy.
Metcalfe's clay-loam soils and mature village trees create a fall cleanup challenge worth taking seriously: leaves landing on still-growing turf that buries them into a damaging mat if left too long.
Metcalfe properties face a unique fall timing challenge. The village's mature trees drop substantial leaf volumes, while the fertile clay-loam soil continues supporting grass growth later into autumn than sandier areas. This combination means leaves get partially buried by continuing turf growth, creating a matted layer that smothers grass and promotes snow mould if not cleared before freeze-up. Our proximity from Osgoode means we can time Metcalfe visits precisely: after peak leaf drop but before the turf goes dormant. Village lots near the fairgrounds and rural properties all get thorough clearing, bed winterizing, and a final mow at the right dormancy height.

This has been my first year with CleanYards and Sebastian. I have been more than pleased with the work he has done for me. The yard maintenance and the fall clean up have been done very well, much better than I could do myself. I look forward to next Spring when I can have Sebastian do more jobs for me.

Recently had new sod installed. Sebastien and Andre were friendly and helpful in helping me understand the work they would be doing, did a fantastic job, provided a helpful guide and an open channel of communication on advice for future care, and all at a good price. Would recommend Sebastien's business to anyone!
