Why Fall Clean-Up Is Essential Before Winter

Michigan winters are no joke. Heavy snow, freezing temperatures, and thick ice can take a toll on your property if it isn’t prepared.

A fall clean-up helps you:

1. Prevent Lawn Damage
Leaves left on the ground trap moisture, create mold, and suffocate the grass. By spring, this can lead to dead patches and expensive repairs.
2. Reduce Slip Hazards
Debris under snow turns into hidden obstacles, increasing the risk of slips and injuries when temperatures drop.
3. Protect Landscaping Investments
Clearing branches, dead plants, and beds ensures your shrubs, perennials, and lawn survive winter and come back strong in spring.
4. Make Snow Removal Safer & Easier
A clean, debris-free property prevents equipment damage and improves the efficiency of snow plowing or shoveling.

A Thanksgiving Gift to Yourself: Less Work, More Peace

The holiday season can be busy—cooking, hosting, shopping, and spending time with loved ones. Clearing leaves and yard debris shouldn’t be another item on your already full plate.

Let US Lawn and Snow take care of the heavy lifting so you can focus on what matters most this Thanksgiving.
