What we do
The whole fall drop, gone.

- The beds. Leaves raked out of the beds and from around the shrubs.
- Hard surfaces. We blow the drive, the walks and the curb.
- Haul-off. We take the leaves with us. Nothing left in a pile.

City rules
What the city takes, and what it does not.
- Green organics cart (San Antonio). The city empties it every week. It takes leaves, grass and yard trimmings. No plastic bags; loose leaves or paper leaf bags only (Sec. 14-17).
- Paper-bagged leaves. For more than the cart holds, the city takes a call at 311 for a special leaf pickup.
- Brush and bulky pickup. The city comes twice a year, on a week it sets for your address, with a door hanger 7 to 10 days ahead. Piles go within 8 feet of the curb, 8 cubic yards at most.
- Hollywood Park. Only brush a resident cut can go out for the town pickup, never a contractor's (Sec. 30-138). We haul ours off.
The city rules above are for San Antonio city limits. These towns run their own pickup:
- Alamo Heights. Brush or limbs cut by a contractor must be carried away by that contractor. Bundles more than 3 feet long and more than 40 pounds are not picked up on trash days.
- Terrell Hills. The brush crew aims to reach every home about once a week, with no set day. Leaves and brush go in separate piles, and lawn services haul off their own cuttings.
- Castle Hills. Up to ten 32-gallon bags of leaves a week, with the trash, and leaves never go in with the brush.
- Shavano Park. Brush pickup only twice a year, usually in the fall and in winter.
The cart is fine for a light week. A full fall drop is more than one cart, and that is when we come in.
We clear leaves across our lawn area, including Stone Oak, Alamo Heights, Terrell Hills, Shavano Park, Castle Hills, Hollywood Park and Oak Park-Northwood.

Can the city green cart take my leaves?
Inside San Antonio city limits, yes. The green organics cart takes leaves, grass and yard trimmings every week. No plastic bags. For paper-bagged leaves beyond the cart, the city takes a call at 311 for a special leaf pickup.
Do you leave the leaves at the curb for the city?
No. We haul off what we clear. The city brush and bulky pickup only comes twice a year, so we do not leave a pile waiting for it.
What about Hollywood Park?
The town code only lets a resident set out brush a resident cut, never a contractor's. So in Hollywood Park we always haul ours away.
Can I start weekly mowing after the leaves are cleared?
Yes. Once the yard is clear, weekly or every-other-week mowing keeps it that way, and we blow the drive, walks and curb every visit.
Do you spray weeds or fertilize?
No. We do not offer chemical, fertilizer or weed spraying services.
