Why you need to schedule leaf clean up sooner rather than later

November 24, 2025

Leaf clean up can seem like a constant struggle in the fall. Falling leaves can quickly accumulate, creating an unsightly and potentially hazardous layer on your lawn. There are also many issues that excess leaves can create for your lawn if you don’t clean up your leaves.

Here are some of the top reasons why you need to make leaf clean up a priority throughout the season - and definitely not leave them all winter:

  1. Prevent Lawn Damage: Leaves smother the grass, block sunlight, and trap moisture. This can lead to dead patches and disease.
  2. Avoid Pests: Piled-up leaves create a perfect hiding spot for pests like rodents and insects.
  3. Boost Curb Appeal: A clean yard enhances the overall look of your home - especially during the fall and winter.
  4. Prevent Safety Hazards: Wet leaves create slippery surfaces. If you’ve got leaves on your sidewalks and driveway that are wet, you’re risking potentially injuring yourself or guests of your home.

We’re equipped with professional equipment including our vacuum truck that allows us to quickly complete your leaf clean up saving you money. 


We recommend completing at least 2 leaf clean ups a season. This makes each visit more manageable in terms of the time required for service and keeps your property looking its best throughout the season. We offer service at whatever frequency fits your needs.

Retaining Wall Installation in Mt. Washington, KY

October 8, 2026
When dealing with a sloped landscape, finding the right balance between functional structural support and visual appeal is key. For a recent project in Mt. Washington, KY, our team was tasked with stabilizing an eroded, sloping area and creating a clean, finished look for the home’s exterior. Retaining wall construction requires the proper base first to ensure the integrity and longevity of the wall. We prepped the base area and levelled the proper drainage stone to carefully create this retaining wall. The finished wall creates a beautiful structure while providing the much needed support as well. Whether you want to build a wall extension, a landscape feature, or anything else requiring pavers or retaining walls, give us a call today to schedule your project at 502-499-7841 or simply request service here  today!

Elevating Commercial Landscaping in St. Matthews, KY

October 8, 2026
Having handled snow and ice management for Pearson’s Funeral Home in St. Matthews, KY for many years, we were thrilled when they recently reached out to us to renovate the main entrance sign area. A commercial property’s exterior sets the tone for every visitor who arrives. For Pearson's Funeral Home, creating a warm, peaceful, and welcoming environment is especially important. We removed all of the outdated and overgrown shrubs around the sign and prepped for the new installation while keeping the two mature shrubs on either side of the sign that created a nice frame for the space. We installed a variety of plants and shrubs including Nandinas, Bobo Hydrangeas, Daylillies, Salvias, Liriope, Coneflowers, and Daisies for a variety of heights, colors, and blooms. We installed Grade “A” Cedar mulch and the transformation was stunning. Even an employee came out before our crew left to share how beautiful he thought the landscaping was after installation. Your business’s entrance and street facing landscaping should make the right statement. WLS offers full service commercial property maintenance for businesses throughout the Louisville areas. Schedule your consultation to see how we can serve your business’s needs by calling or texting us today at 502-499-7841 simply request service here today!
