Indian Hill Leaf Removal

American Landscapes is an Indian Hill Leaf removal and landscaping company. We specialize in landscaping a number of the areas in and around Cincinnati and have a number of happy clients in nearly every locale. Part of what makes Indian Hill such a beautiful place to live is all the foliage in the area. But more foliage means more leaves in the autumn months and, in many areas, the seemingly simple task of leaf removal can be a monumental obstacle to keeping a nice lawn.

So why rake leaves in the first place? Well, like any living thing, your lawn needs to “breathe.” A healthy lawn needs to be exposed to sunshine and oxygen in order to thrive. If you’ve ever placed a tarp over a patch of grass, you know what happens when a lawn can’t breathe: Quite simply, it dies and you end up with a big brown patch where the tarp (or other covering) was. During the autumn months, a lawn can quickly become overwhelmed with a blanket of leaves causing the same effect. When this happens, all your hard work keeping your lawn in tip top shape during the summer – ah…I’m nostalgic for those summer months when it’s actually enjoyable to be outside, working on the lawn – will be wasted.

What you should know about leaf removal

In areas like Indian Hill, where trees actually outnumber people, leaf removal must be a priority of you’re keen on keeping your lawn in good shape. However, it’s important that leaves are removed from the property entirely as too many leaves can actually cause environmental damage to the surrounding area.

Left alone, leaves can build up along curbs, gutters, and ditches and block storm water systems, causing flooding. The standing water that results can be a haven for insects and mosquitoes.

Additionally, if leaves are simply swept into the storm drains, they can run to the closest tributary and get jammed up. We tend to think of leaves as being a great fertilizer or even being good for the environment if simply left to decompose on their own. While this is true if you control the concentration and location of the leaves, when left uncontrolled, leaf buildup in tributaries will become food for algae, which can actually be detrimental to fish and other wildlife if left unchecked.

That’s why it’s important to ensure your leaves are cleaned up and put to good use in a controlled manner rather than being allowed to damage your lawn or cause problems to the surrounding environment.

When choosing a leaf removal company, remember these tips:

• Do they have dedicated leaf-removal equipment (e.g. Leaf blowers, lawn mowers, etc)
• How do they bag the leaves?
