FAQ:
Q: When should I book my fall cleanup? A: September is ideal for scheduling your fall cleanup. October is still possible, but availability tightens fast. Don't delay until the leaves are fully down — by then, everyone will be calling at once.
Q: Do you haul everything away? A: Yes, we include full haul-away in our services. We ensure your property is clean and ready for winter — not just raked into a pile.
Q: Can I book fall cleanup with a spring cleanup at the same time? A: Absolutely — we highly recommend it. Booking both services in advance secures your spot on our schedule and helps maintain your property to a consistent standard throughout the year.
Q: Do you service commercial properties for fall cleanup? A: Yes, we provide fall cleanup services for commercial buildings, multi-residential complexes, and property management portfolios throughout Etobicoke, Mississauga and Oakville.

What it costs: fall cleanups start at $299 for a standard Etobicoke, Mississauga or Oakville property. That covers full leaf removal, cutting back perennials, clearing garden beds and hauling everything away before the first frost. Heavily treed lots and larger properties take more time, so we price those from an on-site walk-through. Every quote is itemized, with no surprises and no upsells.

Etobicoke's older streets carry serious canopy, and that changes the job. Properties through The Kingsway, Sunnylea, Humber Valley Village, Islington Village, Thorncrest Village and Markland Wood generate leaf volume that rarely fits into a single visit — we usually run two passes, one to clear the bulk so the turf keeps breathing and a second for the late oak drop before the ground freezes.
Down through Mimico, New Toronto, Alderwood and Long Branch the lots run narrower with shared driveways and tighter access — a different kind of work, but no less careful.
Worth knowing: the City of Toronto no longer runs a leaf-vacuum program in Etobicoke, and raking leaves into the street is an offence. Everything has to be bagged. We haul it all off-site instead, so your cleanup isn't waiting on a collection calendar.

Mississauga splits cleanly in two. South of the QEW — Lorne Park, Mineola, Port Credit, Clarkson, Rattray Marsh and Credit Mills — the lots are older, the trees are mature and the beds are established, which means multiple passes and real hand work through the plantings. Streetsville's village properties bring tight access and long-established gardens.
North and west through Erin Mills, Sherwood Forrest and Churchill Meadows, cleanups run faster but the standard is the same: every leaf off the turf, beds cleared and edged, final cut at the right height, and debris out of the interlock joints and drainage points.
The City's vacuum leaf program covers curbside piles on eligible streets. It doesn't cover cutbacks, bed clearing, hedge work or your final mow. We handle the property; the city handles the curb.
Oakville properties tend to be the most heavily planted we work on, and the expectations match. Eastlake, Morrison and Joshua Creek estate lots come with mature canopy, formal hedging and structured beds that need judgment on what gets cut back and what stays standing through winter.
Old Oakville and Bronte bring heritage lots and established plantings with limited access. Glen Abbey, Iroquois Ridge, College Park, River Oaks and West Oak Trails run cleaner and faster, but the finish is the finish.
The Town runs a loose-leaf collection program on a zone rotation from late October into early December, and piles have to be clean of brush and garbage to be collected. We haul everything off-site, so you're not timing your property around a zone map.

One crew, one itemized quote, and a fixed position on our winter route — the crew clearing your leaves in October is the one clearing your driveway in January. Fall cleanups from $299. Seasonal snow contracts from $799. Routes fill in order; bundle clients are scheduled first.
