When fall rains arrive, boy do they come in strong. The third consecutive "ATMOSPHERIC RIVER" is forecast to arrive this week. This is November in the Pacific Northwest.
Right now, with the stormy weather, leaves are falling at their fastest pace. This is the time each year when it is hard to keep up. It is also sometimes hard to tell if we were even at a site as the leaf drop covers up our cleanup work within hours. It is often hard to tell that we had visited and removed leaves on many properties due to the heavy leaf drop.
The good news is that this heavy leaf fall means that many trees will lose their leaves over the next few weeks. The bad news is that it will be very messy the next few weeks, and some trees will continue to hold leaves so leaf control will continue into December.
Be confident that we are well equipped and efficient and will be diligent visiting most properties weekly and removing accumulated leaves on the most important areas and focusing on bulk removal. We don't worry too much on details until the leaves are all down as too detailed of cleanup is a waste of time and short lived while the leaves continue to fall.
