Ottawa's massive deciduous canopy drops staggering leaf volumes every autumn. CleanYards handles fall cleanup across every neighbourhood so your property is protected before the first snowfall.
From the Glebe's century-old maples to Kanata's younger boulevard plantings, Ottawa properties face serious leaf accumulation that demands thorough fall cleanup before winter locks everything in place.
Ottawa is one of the most tree-dense capitals in the world, and that canopy creates fall cleanup at a scale most cities never see. Mature maples, oaks, and elms in established neighbourhoods like Alta Vista and Rockcliffe drop thick leaf layers that smother turf and harbour snow mould if left through winter. Newer suburbs in Orleans and Kanata deal with less volume but more wind-blown distribution across open lots. Our crews work systematically through every neighbourhood, clearing lawns, winterizing beds, cutting back perennials, and giving lawns a final mow before freeze-up. Timing matters: too early and you leave fresh leaf drop behind; too late and frozen ground makes the job harder and more expensive.

Ottawa's Rideau Canal corridor and riverside properties face additional leaf accumulation from overhanging trees plus moisture-related challenges that accelerate turf disease when debris is left in place.
We run fall cleanup crews across Ottawa's major residential zones on scheduled routes. Volume booking means competitive pricing for Ottawa homeowners, and our familiarity with each neighbourhood speeds the work.
Ottawa's peak leaf drop typically runs from mid-October through early November. Schedule your cleanup for late October to catch the majority, with flexibility for a second pass if needed.
Complete autumn yard protection for Ottawa homeowners. From leaf clearing to winter prep, handled by one trusted team.
Ottawa's massive deciduous canopy generates the heaviest leaf volumes in the region. We clear lawns, beds, and hard surfaces across every neighbourhood systematically before snowfall.
Ottawa's established gardens need thorough fall bed prep. We clear spent annuals, remove debris, and prepare soil surfaces so perennial roots are protected through the capital's cold winters.
We selectively cut back perennials and remove dead wood from shrubs across Ottawa properties, leaving only specimens that provide winter structure or seed heads for birds.
Ottawa lawns need a final mow at the correct late-season height to reduce snow-mould risk. We adjust mow height for conditions across every neighbourhood.
Leaf-covered Ottawa driveways and walkways become slippery safety hazards. Our thorough fall blow-off delivers clean surfaces before freeze-up makes removal difficult.
All leaves and organic debris from your Ottawa property are bagged and removed. We handle disposal so you start winter with a clean property, not bags at the curb.
We clear every leaf from every surface: lawns, beds, walkways, and fence lines. Your property enters winter fully protected, not partially cleaned.
Based in Osgoode, we run fall cleanup crews across Ottawa's full range of neighbourhoods with efficient routing and capital-region crew depth.
We do not leave bags at the curb. All leaves, organic waste, and cleanup material is loaded and removed from your property completely as part of every project.
Our cleanup is designed to protect lawns and gardens through winter. Proper leaf removal and bed winterizing prevent costly spring repairs and promote healthy regrowth.
From Orleans to Stittsville, Barrhaven to Rockcliffe Park, CleanYards handles fall cleanup across Ottawa's full range of neighbourhoods with efficient crew routing and professional-grade equipment.

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!
