Leaf Removal & Seasonal Clean Up in Ferntree Gully
Two leaf seasons a year: eucalypt litter in summer, liquidambar and maple in winter
Terra Maintenance provides leaf removal & seasonal clean up in Ferntree Gully VIC 3156 and throughout the Dandenong Ranges and outer south-east Melbourne. Few places in Knox shed as much as Ferntree Gully. Blue gum, red box and wattle drop bark and leaf from January to April, then 1970s and 80s liquidambars and maples follow in June and July. Left alone, leaf mat can kill grass within a few weeks, and gutters on single-storey homes fill by mid-February.
Leaf Removal & Seasonal Clean Up in Ferntree Gully: Local Conditions
Across the Knox region, few suburbs shed as much leaf as this one. The dominant eucalypts, blue gum, red box, silver wattle and E. radiata, shed continuously, with the peak running from January to April when bark strips and leathery leaves fall together after summer heat. Properties under several canopy trees can build up a layer thick enough to kill lawn grass within two to three weeks if it is not cleared. Gutters on single-storey weatherboard homes in the eastern streets fill to capacity by mid-February and need clearing at least twice between January and May. A second cycle follows. Ornamental deciduous trees, liquidambars and maples planted in the 1970s and 80s subdivisions, drop in June and July, which makes Ferntree Gully effectively a two-cycle suburb for leaf work each year. The late-summer drop also falls in fire season, when dry bark and litter around a house adds fuel, so clearing gutters and the ground around buildings does two jobs. We blow and rake lawns and beds, clear paths and driveways where wet leaf turns slippery, and take the green waste away. Properties backing onto the reserves suit a schedule of several visits across the year, since one clean-up cannot keep pace with continuous shedding.
