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.

Local context
Landscaping in Wenham — what makes it different
Wenham is compact but characterful — Wenham Lake, Gordon College, and the historic town center anchor a community of older estates and tree-lined residential streets. Landscape work here is maintenance-heavy: precise mowing at the right height, hand-trimming on established hedges, and thorough fall cleanups under heavy maple and oak canopy.

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.
Do you work on larger Wenham estates?
Yes. Larger established properties with mature plantings are typical Wenham work. Focus is on careful maintenance rather than aggressive change.
