Before the snow
Fall Yard Cleanup in Calgary
Leaves cleared and the yard put to bed before snow locks everything in until spring.
EPM Services provides fall yard cleanups in Calgary — leaf removal from lawns and beds, a final mow, cutting back spent growth and removing the yard waste before winter.
Leaves left on the lawn over winter mat down under the snow and are a big contributor to snow mould and dead patches in spring. Clearing them in fall makes the spring cleanup lighter and the lawn healthier.
A fall cleanup is also the last chance to tidy beds and trim back shrubs before they are buried for months.

Timing the fall cleanup
Most leaves are down by mid-October, but early snowfalls in September or October are common. If snow comes first, the cleanup is done once it melts off.

Why fall cleanup matters here
Calgary yards can sit under snow for long stretches. Anything left on the lawn — leaves, clippings, debris — stays wet underneath all winter, which is exactly what snow mould needs.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
When is fall cleanup done in Calgary?
Typically once most leaves have dropped, usually in October. Early snow can push it back until the snow melts.
Should I leave leaves on the lawn over winter?
In Calgary it is usually better to remove them. Leaves matted under snow contribute to snow mould and dead patches in spring.
Can I set up snow removal at the same time?
Yes. Fall cleanup is a natural time to arrange residential snow removal for the winter.
