Leaf Removal FAQ for New Orleans Homeowners

How often should New Orleans homeowners get leaf removal?
Given New Orleans's year-round heat and humidity — avg high 91°f in summer with extreme dewpoints, most homeowners benefit from leaf removal at least once a year. Year-round termite treatment and monitoring (Formosan threat is severe) often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in New Orleans most need leaf removal?
Shotgun houses and Creole cottages (architectural signatures of New Orleans) and Double shotguns converted to single-family are the most common home types in New Orleans and typically see the most wear. Our local pros are familiar with the exterior materials found across the metro.
How many visits do I need in fall?
Most properties benefit from 2–3 visits — one in mid-fall, one as leaves reach peak drop, and a final cleanup once trees are bare. Heavily wooded properties may need more.
Is it bad to leave leaves on the lawn?
A light layer of leaves can be mulched and is beneficial. But a thick mat blocks sunlight, traps moisture, and promotes disease and pest habitat, so removal or thorough mulching is important.
Can you combine leaf removal with gutter cleaning?
Yes, and this is highly recommended. Gutter cleaning after leaves have fully dropped is the most efficient approach, and we offer bundled pricing for combined services.
Do you take the leaves away?
Yes. We can haul leaves to a local composting facility, or if you have a compost pile or designated area, we can deposit them there. Bagged curbside service is also available where your municipality offers leaf pickup.
