Overview
Fall cleanup on the North Shore of Massachusetts runs from mid-October through late November. Casey and Sons removes every fallen leaf from lawn and beds, cuts back spent perennials, gives the lawn a final short cut to prevent winter matting, edges beds one last time, and hauls all debris off-site. Heavily wooded properties typically need two visits (early and late). Pricing is flat per visit, quoted up front.
What's included for Peabody properties
- Complete leaf removal — lawn, beds, driveway, walkways
- Final mow at a shorter-than-summer height to prevent snow mold
- Cut back spent perennials and annuals
- Clean out and re-edge beds for winter
- Haul all debris off-site (never blown to a neighbor's lot)
- Split into two visits on heavily wooded properties
Fall Cleanup in Peabody
How fall cleanup works on a Peabody property
Fall cleanup in Peabody almost always runs two visits in the older neighborhoods — Crystal Lake and the Lowell Street corridor have enough mature maple and oak canopy that one early-November cleanup misses half the late drop. West Peabody's newer construction sometimes manages with a single thorough November pass. Same haul-off policy across the city: all debris loaded and gone, nothing left curbside unless you specifically want it set out for town pickup.
Local context
Landscaping in Peabody — what makes it different
Peabody is where the business is based, so routes start and end here. Properties around Peabody Square and along Lowell Street are older, with mature plantings and tight side yards. West Peabody along Route 1 and up into the Brooksby Farm area runs to larger lots with newer construction and more flexibility in bed design. South Peabody has its own character — closer to the Salem line, more mixed. Each part of the city gets a slightly different approach to mowing cadence, bed treatment, and seasonal timing.

Questions
Frequently asked
When is the best time for fall cleanup in MA?
The deepest-value visit is late-October to mid-November, after the main leaf drop but before the first significant snow. Properties with lots of oaks often need an early-November sweep and a late-November final, since oaks drop last.
Why not just blow the leaves into the woods?
Because it kills the woods. Dumping leaf piles into town tree lines smothers native understory, changes soil pH, and is a code violation in several North Shore towns. We haul every pile off-site to a proper composting facility.
Do you do one visit or two?
Depends on the property. A mostly open yard is one visit. A wooded lot or a house under mature oaks is usually two — otherwise you pay for a cleanup and still have six inches of leaves on the ground by Thanksgiving.
How quickly can you get to a property in Peabody?
Peabody is where Ben is based, so response times are shortest here — usually same day on the call-back and an on-site estimate within 24 hours. Weekly mowing routes in Peabody book up first each spring for the same reason.
Do you handle both West Peabody and South Peabody?
Yes, the full city. West Peabody's larger newer-construction lots and South Peabody's more mixed housing stock each get a different approach to mowing and bed work, but both are regular weekly territory.
