Properties with mature oaks and maples usually need two - one mid-drop and one final. Smaller lots are typically fine with one.

Fall Cleanup in Sandwich, Illinois
Leaves left on the lawn over winter do real damage. Matted under snow they smother turf, hold moisture against the crown and set up snow mold that shows up as dead patches the following April.
A fall cleanup removes the leaf layer, cuts back perennials that should not overwinter standing, clears beds and hardscape, and leaves the property tidy going into the cold.
It is also the last good look at the landscape before winter - the right moment to catch a failing wall, a downspout dumping against the foundation, or a shrub that did not make it through the summer.

Why It Matters
Prevents snow mold
Turf that goes into winter clean comes out of it green instead of matted and grey.
Easier spring
Everything removed in the fall is work you are not paying for again in April.
Problems caught early
A pass through the property before winter is when drainage and structural issues get spotted.
