What does a fall yard cleanup from RAH Solutions include?
Short answer
RAH Solutions LLC removes leaves from the lawn and beds, cuts back perennials, cleans out planting beds, gives the lawn its final mow and clears overgrown areas. The aim is a property that goes under snow clean. Estimates are free.
Fall cleanup is the one yard job with a hard deadline. Whatever is still lying on the lawn when the snow comes stays there until spring, and the grass underneath pays for it. Homeowners looking for fall yard cleanup near me in Edgerton usually face the same thing: more leaves than a weekend can handle and a short stretch of dry days to deal with them.
RAH Solutions brings its own crew and equipment, and the leaves leave the property with the crew instead of sitting in bags at the curb. For yards with large maples or oaks, the work can be split into two visits.
Cleanup is also a good point to look at what the yard needs next year. Thin turf under trees can be scheduled for lawn restoration, tired beds can be noted for garden maintenance.
What gets done
Which fall cleanup tasks does RAH Solutions handle?
RAH Solutions LLC handles leaves, beds, the last mow and overgrowth for homes and commercial properties around Edgerton.
Perennial cutback
Spent perennials are cut down once they have died back. Anything you want standing for winter, such as ornamental grasses or seed heads, is left alone.
Bed cleanup
Dead annuals, weeds and fallen debris are pulled from planting beds, and the edges are tidied so the beds are ready for spring planting and mulch.
Final mow
The lawn is mowed one last time once growth has slowed, so the grass does not go into winter long enough to fold over and mat under the snow.
Overgrowth clearing
Weeds, brush and volunteer growth along buildings, fences and unused corners are cut down and removed, along with the debris that turns up underneath.
Before the snow
Why does a layer of leaves hurt a lawn over winter?
A thick, wet mat of leaves blocks light and air and holds moisture against the grass for months. RAH Solutions LLC clears lawns in fall for four practical reasons.
- Smothered turf
Cool-season grasses such as Kentucky bluegrass keep growing late into fall. Grass buried under matted leaves cannot, and it comes out of winter thin or dead in patches.
- Snow mold
Leaves trapped under snow keep the turf wet, which encourages snow mold. The gray matted circles that show up in spring often trace back to leaves left in fall.
- Wet corners and drains
Leaves collect in low spots, window wells and along foundations, where they hold water and block drainage.
- A short window
Snow is possible in southern Wisconsin from November on. Once leaves are snowed under, they stay until spring.
Can RAH Solutions clean up a property that has been let go?
Yes. RAH Solutions clears overgrown yards, lots and farmyards as well as doing routine leaf cleanup. The photos on this page show one of those jobs, and they should be read for what they are: a property cleanup, not leaf removal. A yard between two barns had grown up in weeds and goldenrod and was cleared back to open ground.
Fall is a practical time for this work. Growth has stopped, foliage is dying back, and the ground is cleared before snow hides it. If the cleared area needs to be leveled or reshaped afterward, that is handled as excavating and grading.
The process
How does a fall cleanup with RAH Solutions work?
RAH Solutions LLC follows the same four steps for a leaf cleanup on a town lot and for clearing a larger property.
Walk the property
Robert looks at the trees, lawn and beds, and at any overgrown areas, and asks what you want kept standing over winter.
Agree scope and timing
You decide together what is cleared and cut back, where debris goes, and whether the yard needs one visit or two as the leaves come down.
Clear, cut back and mow
Leaves and debris come off the lawn and out of the beds, perennials are cut back, overgrowth is cleared and the lawn is mowed.
Haul away and check
Debris is hauled off, walks and drives are blown clean, and the yard is checked over so it is ready for snow.

FAQ
What do people ask about fall cleanup in Edgerton?
Call (608) 501-5123 before the leaves are down and RAH Solutions will set up a time to see the yard.
When should fall cleanup be done around Edgerton?
After most of the leaves are down and before snow covers them. In southern Wisconsin snow is possible from November on, so the work has to fit between leaf drop and the first lasting snow. Late-dropping trees such as oaks can mean a second visit.
Do all the leaves have to come off the lawn?
A thick layer does. A mat of wet leaves left on turf over winter smothers the grass and encourages snow mold. A light scatter is different: it can be chopped up with a mower and left to break down.
Should perennials be cut back in fall or left until spring?
Either can work. Cutting back in fall leaves beds clean and removes diseased foliage. Leaving sturdy stems and ornamental grasses standing gives winter interest, and they are cut in a spring yard cleanup instead. Shrubs are not pruned hard in fall.
Is fall a good time to fix thin or bare lawn areas?
It depends on the date. UW–Madison Extension puts the best seeding window at mid-August to mid-September. By leaf season that window has usually closed, and the second option is dormant seeding in late fall, when seed is spread to sprout in spring. See lawn restoration for how RAH Solutions handles it.
Can RAH Solutions clear a badly overgrown yard or lot?
Yes. The photos on this page show that kind of job: a farmyard between barns that had grown up in weeds and was cleared back to open ground. Overgrowth clearing is priced after an on-site look.
What should be done before the first snow?
Get leaves off the lawn, move hoses, furniture and anything else lying in the grass, and mark driveway and bed edges so they can be seen under snow. If you want the driveway or lot plowed, set up snow removal at the same time; winter accounts are arranged before the season starts.
