Fall in South Jersey is beautiful until your yard disappears under a blanket of wet leaves. 

When that happens, it’s not just about looks those piles suffocate your grass, invite mold, and make spring recovery twice as hard.

At Jersey Lawns, we take a disciplined approach to cleanup. Our crews move with military precision, clearing every corner so your yard stays healthy and sharp long after the leaves fall.

1. Don’t Wait for the Pile-Up

Most homeowners wait until every leaf has dropped before scheduling cleanup. That’s a rookie mistake. Wet leaves trap moisture, block sunlight, and create fungal growth that can spread through your entire yard.

Pro tip: schedule your first cleanup in mid to late October, then one more in mid-November to keep things manageable.

2. Focus on Airflow

Your grass still needs to breathe in fall. Leaves that sit for more than a week start to compress, creating a thick mat that blocks air and sunlight. Raking or blowing weekly especially in shaded areas helps prevent rot and gives your lawn room to recover before winter.

3. Use the Right Tools

At Jersey Lawns, we run high-powered blowers, mulchers, and collection systems that make quick work of debris. For homeowners, a good rake and a tarp can get the job done, but be sure to dispose of leaves properly not in the street gutters, where they can clog drains and cause flooding.

4. Don’t Forget Gutters & Edges

Clogged gutters lead to water overflow, erosion, and even foundation issues. We recommend pairing your leaf cleanup with gutter clearing and edge trimming for a complete fall prep package.
