Measurable snow is rare in Houston, so the leaf drop sets the schedule.
When leaves drop in Houston.
Leaves in Houston come down December into January, with live oaks shedding in late winter. Houston trees drop late and slowly. Texas A&M AgriLife had trees still in early transition at Thanksgiving, and the live oaks in the Heights and Montrose shed through February.
Houston has seen measurable snow in only a handful of Decembers since 1881 (NWS records), so there is no snow deadline here. Book the cleanup for the week after your Houston trees finish dropping and the lot is clear before the holidays.
Houston's heavy trash runs in even months and the live oaks in the Heights and Montrose shed in late winter, so the timing rarely lines up. Crews clear the lot and haul it when the leaves are actually down.

Houston leaf pickup rules.
Houston collects yard waste alongside its heavy trash schedule, which runs in even-numbered months, 6 times a year.
- Bags. Any compostable bag meeting ASTM D6400 or EN 13432, or a personal reusable can (not the city 95-gallon cart). 50 pounds max.
- Schedule. Even-numbered months with heavy trash. Out from 6 p.m. the Friday before to 7 a.m. on collection day.
- Rules. Never mix yard waste with household trash. Landscaping contractors haul their own debris.

None of that applies to a Plowz booking. The crew bags, loads and hauls everything to a licensed yard-waste site the same visit, so the Houston leaf pickup calendar does not set your cleanup date.

Leaf removal questions from Houston homeowners.
How much does leaf removal cost in Houston?
Leaf removal in Houston is $95 for a small lot under a quarter acre, $145 for a quarter to half acre and $225 for a half to one acre. Hauling and disposal are in the price. Heavy debris adds $25 to $75 and bed edging starts at $35; both show in the booking flow before you confirm. The price is the same in October and December; only the open days change.
When should I book leaf removal in Houston?
Book for the week after your trees finish dropping. In Houston the drop runs December into January, with live oaks shedding in late winter, so the week after that is the sweet spot. Houston has seen measurable snow in only a handful of Decembers since 1881 (NWS records), so there is no snow deadline here. Peak weeks book 3 to 7 days out. Off-peak weeks often book inside 48 hours.
Does Houston pick up leaves at the curb?
Houston collects yard waste alongside its heavy trash schedule, which runs in even-numbered months, 6 times a year. Any compostable bag meeting ASTM D6400 or EN 13432, or a personal reusable can (not the city 95-gallon cart). 50 pounds max. A Plowz crew hauls everything the same visit, so you can book any day, not just the city window.
Do I have to bag leaves for the Plowz crew in Houston?
No. The crew brings the bags, fills them and takes them. You do not need to be home. If the back yard is locked, leave a gate code in the booking and the crew lets itself in and out.
What does a Plowz leaf removal in Houston include?
The Houston leaf cleanup service covers the full lot: front, back and sides cleared, beds raked out, driveway and walks blown off, sticks and small branches picked up, and everything hauled to a licensed yard-waste site. Gutter cleaning pairs with the same visit on request. Tree work is not included.
What if it rains or the leaves are wet in Houston?
If it is raining at the scheduled start, the crew moves to the next dry day, usually within 48 hours, with no rescheduling fee. Damp leaves are fine and get bagged heavier. Standing water is the only thing that stops a route.
How do the photos work?
The crew takes up to 10 time-stamped photos: front, back, sides, beds and the loaded truck. They hit your phone before the crew leaves the street, and your card is charged after the photos land, not before.
