We don’t recommend pausing service in the fall—and here’s why:

Fall is one of the most active maintenance seasons. Leaves drop quickly, and if they’re not regularly removed, they can smother your turf, clog drains, and create bigger problems that cost more to fix later. Our contracts are designed to spread out the cost of service over the year—including leaf cleanup, which begins around mid-October.

While pruning is not included in your standard maintenance agreement, being on-site regularly in the winter allows us to identify which plants need time-sensitive pruning in February—like Crepe Myrtles, Nandina, ornamental grasses, and others. If you pause service until spring, those ideal pruning windows may be missed entirely.

Some small Bermuda properties may shift to monthly service in winter (January–March), but this is based on the needs of the property, not a full service pause.

If you stop services altogether, a spring cleanup fee will apply before we resume maintenance.
