By late October the London planes along Kennedy Boulevard let go nearly all at once, and the yards underneath them vanish under a week of leaves. Jersey City Tree Services handles the ground side of that season: raking and hauling the leaf load, taking the grass down for the cold, cutting beds back to a defined edge before the first hard frost. Autumn cleanup here is half housekeeping, half preparation. Under that much canopy the turf takes whatever light it can find, so clearing it is not optional. A yard that goes into November tidy comes out of March ready to grow.
