AUTUMN SERVICE
Leaf Clearance in Cambridge
Leaf clearance is essential for lawn health through autumn and early winter. A thick layer of leaves blocks light, traps moisture, and encourages fungal disease. ELawnCare provides leaf clearance across Cambridge from the £40 minimum visit charge. For larger gardens or heavy leaf fall, the work is priced by area or time.
The service runs from October through December, when most deciduous trees shed their leaves. Regular clearance every one to two weeks during peak leaf fall keeps the lawn healthy. The service covers CB1 to CB25 with no callout charge within 8 miles.

Why leaf clearance matters
Leaves left on the lawn for more than a week or two start killing the grass beneath them. The lack of light causes yellowing, and the trapped moisture creates ideal conditions for fungal diseases like fusarium patch. Removing leaves weekly through autumn prevents this damage and keeps the lawn green going into winter.
How leaf clearance works
Leaves are blown or raked off the lawn and borders, then either composted on site, bagged for green bin collection, or disposed of. Disposal is £12 extra if green bin space is not available. The work is often combined with a final autumn mow and hedge trim.

Weekly during peak leaf fall in October and November. Fortnightly may suffice in early October and December when leaf fall is lighter. The key is not letting leaves sit on the lawn for more than two weeks, which is when damage starts.
Yes. Leaf clearance is often done alongside a final autumn mow, hedge trim, and border cutback in a single visit. Combining services in one visit is more efficient and cost-effective than booking them separately.
