When leaves drop in Seattle.
Leaves in Seattle come down mid to late October, with big-leaf maples dropping into November. UW Botanic Gardens puts the best Arboretum color in mid to late October. The big-leaf maples in Wallingford and Ravenna drop through November, right as the rain starts clogging drains.
Seattle averages about 5.6 inches of snow a season and its first measurable snow lands near late December, so November rain, not snow, is the deadline. Book the cleanup for the week after your Seattle trees finish dropping and the lot is clear before the holidays.
Seattle's big-leaf maples in Wallingford, Ravenna and West Seattle drop through November rain. Crews clear the lot and the drain line at the curb, then haul it, so the 10-bag November allowance is not your limit.

Seattle leaf pickup rules.
In November 2026, Seattle Public Utilities food and yard waste customers can set out up to 10 extra bags of leaves per collection day at no charge.
- Bags. Paper or certified compostable lawn and leaf bags, or a reusable container with a lid. No plastic bags, no food.
- Schedule. Extra leaf bags free in November 2026. Other months, extra yard waste is charged a fixed rate.
- Rules. Rake leaves before they reach the street and clear storm drains safely. Leaves pulled from a drain go in the garbage, not yard waste.

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 Seattle leaf pickup calendar does not set your cleanup date.

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 Seattle?
Book for the week after your trees finish dropping. In Seattle the drop runs mid to late October, with big-leaf maples dropping into November, so the week after that is the sweet spot. Seattle averages about 5.6 inches of snow a season and its first measurable snow lands near late December, so November rain, not snow, is the deadline. Peak weeks book 3 to 7 days out. Off-peak weeks often book inside 48 hours.
Does Seattle pick up leaves at the curb?
In November 2026, Seattle Public Utilities food and yard waste customers can set out up to 10 extra bags of leaves per collection day at no charge. Paper or certified compostable lawn and leaf bags, or a reusable container with a lid. No plastic bags, no food. 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 Seattle?
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 Seattle include?
The Seattle 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 Seattle?
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.
