One leaf, many leaves, everywhere
Much as we love trees, and we do, they come with one major problem – leaves. Every year in autumn, deciduous trees drop their leaves ready for the winter months and scatter them across the ground below. Even quite small trees can drop a surprising number of leaves, and the wind can distribute these leaves over a large area, suddenly turning your neat grass area into colourful chaos. Leaf clearance can become a massive task.
Fallen leaves and their hidden dangers
Whilst children love to jump in leaves in autumn and enjoy the rustling sensation and noise made by the leaves, they do cause a few problems. Deep leaf drifts can hide rubbish, shards of broken glass, or used cans, which can all be a health hazard to the unsuspecting person enjoying their autumn walk. Dry leaves can be windblown into areas piling up and concealing or clogging drains which can cause further problems when the rain comes.
Don’t let your fallen leaves cause accidents
It is the combination of the rain and the leaves that cause the real issue. A leaf when wet suddenly become slippery and dangerous. A leaf can mulch down forming a slimy layer that coats tarmac causing hazardous conditions. Left untouched this could cause accidents for the public whilst using your site. Mulched leaves that are allowed to lie on grass areas for long periods can damage the turf, which can lead to costly turf repair the following year, acting quickly to clear leaves can save you money in the long run.
Leaf clearance as part of our grounds maintenance service
We provide leaf clearance services as part of our ground maintenance packages, or as a one-off service. Ground maintenance enables you to maintain a high standard of tidiness and cleanliness in and around your commercial buildings throughout the year. From the snows to the winter, through the summer’s rapid grass growth, to the leaf clearance of the autumn, our grounds maintenance will ensure that your green spaces are always looking their best.
Ecological disposal of fallen leaves
Part of the requirement of leaf clearance is disposal. A surprising quantity of leaves can fall from one tree, and those leaves need to be collected and disposed of. We ensure that all our waste is disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner so that our maintenance of your green spaces doesn’t harm your green footprint.
