### Autumn's Here and the Garden's a Mess
One minute you're sitting in the garden with a cold drink. Next minute it's **knee-deep in leaves** and you can barely see the path. Autumn hits fast in Devon, and if you've got trees nearby (or your neighbours do), it's a losing battle keeping on top of it.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Don't wait for every single leaf to fall before tidying. It's easier to do it twice lightly than once when they're six inches deep and soggy. But if you've already left it too late, don't worry - I've seen worse.

### Tidy vs Untidy
| ✅ Properly Tidied | ❌ Left to Get Worse | |--------------------|----------------------| | Lawn clear and breathing | Grass dying under wet leaf mulch | | Paths safe and non-slip | Slippery leaf carpet (trip hazard) | | Borders neat and accessible | Can't even see what's in there | | Ready for winter | Fighting a losing battle all season |

What to Expect
### Step 1: Size It Up I'll have a quick look at the garden, see how much leaf coverage there is, check what else needs doing. Give you an honest time and cost estimate. ### Step 2: Clear & Sweep I'll work through methodically - usually lawn first, then borders, then paths. If there's anything you want me to leave (like piles for hedgehogs), just point it out. ### Step 3: Clean Finish All waste bagged and removed or binned. Garden left tidy and neat. I'll sweep the paths last so they're spotless when I leave.

Good to Know
> 🎨 **Got a repeat leaf problem?** If you've got big trees or neighbours' trees dumping leaves all over your garden, you might want me to come back in a few weeks. I'll do the second visit cheaper since I already know the garden. **Composting leaves?** They make brilliant leaf mould if you pile them somewhere and forget about them for a year. I can make you a neat pile in a corner if you want to try it. **In a rush?** Autumn garden tidies are often same-day or next-day jobs if you catch me at the right time. Give me a ring and I'll see what I can do. **Exeter properties** with those big old trees often get absolutely hammered with leaves. Some gardens I do three times in autumn because the trees keep dropping. It's worth it though - keeps the grass alive and the paths safe.
Frequently Asked Questions about Autumn garden tidy in Crediton
What's the difference between garden prep and garden tidy?
Honestly, not much - they're basically the same job. Garden tidy is usually more about clearing leaves and making it look neat. Garden prep includes that plus a bit more like checking gutters and covering furniture. But I'll do whatever needs doing when I'm there.
How long does an autumn garden tidy take?
Depends on the size and how bad it's got. Average back garden with a decent covering of leaves takes me 2-3 hours. Big garden with trees overhanging from neighbours might be 3-4 hours. I'll give you a better estimate when I see it.
Can you come back if more leaves fall after you've done it?
Yes, absolutely. Autumn's annoying like that - I can tidy your garden one week and it's covered again the next if you've got trees nearby. Some people book me twice - once in October, once in November. I'll give you a discount for repeat visits.
Do I need to be home while you do it?
Not necessarily. As long as I can access the garden and you're happy with me working while you're out, I can crack on. Just leave a note if there's anything you specifically want left alone.
What do you do with the leaves?
I can bag them up and take them away, put them in your green bin, or pile them somewhere out of sight if you want to use them for leaf mould. Your call - just let me know what works for you.
