Spring & fall cleanups in Orchard Park, NY

Fall cleanup in Orchard Park, NY: timing

Most people call once the leaves are down, and that is exactly when schedules fill. Booking in September or early October gets you a spot. If your trees drop late, we can plan a second pass to catch the rest.

A fall visit cuts back perennials and ornamental grasses, trims overgrown shrubs and clears the beds before snow arrives. If you want to handle part of it yourself, use our fall cleanup checklist.

How Orchard Park leaf and brush pickup works

The Town of Orchard Park Highway Department runs loose leaf collection from October into May, separate from its monthly brush pickup. Leaf piles must be kept apart from brush piles. Brush goes at the roadside in an orderly pile, cut ends toward the street and off the pavement, by 7 a.m. on the Monday of your collection week.

In spring the town wants leaves at the curb before April 15, and grass clippings are not picked up. Brush and leaves can also go to the town composting facility on Milestrip Road on weekdays. Village residents should check with the Village of Orchard Park Department of Public Works. With our cleanups the debris is hauled away, so you do not have to work around the calendar.

Spring cleanups after an Orchard Park winter

Lake-effect snow and freeze-thaw cycles are hard on beds. By April, edges have slumped, mulch has thinned and shrubs may have branches broken by snow load.

A spring cleanup clears all of it, recuts the edges and leaves the beds ready for fresh mulch. If you had a fall cleanup, spring is usually lighter and faster. More of our Orchard Park work is on the Orchard Park landscaping page.
