Fall clean up (GENERAL UPDATE)
UPDATED THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 5:
**the next update will not occur until sometime around November 11 - please
read below for more explanation
Timeline so far...
Wednesday, 10/28: Got started with clean ups, wet conditions, but not
actually raining. Just wet from earlier in the week rain.
Thursday/Friday, 10/29 & 10/30: Still wet out and slow going, clean-ups
taking double the time. Also, no freezes yet, so grass is still growing and
thick.
Monday-Wednesday, 11/2 thru 11/4: Pretty much steady rain all 3 days, no
work getting done. Actually an unbelievably wet system for this time of the
season. Just thankful that it was not snow.
Thursday, 11/5: We were expecting to get out, but had to call the day due to
it very slowly drying out.
So, with that said above, Friday 11/6 is when we get back out, but it is
going to be wet and slow - therefore our progress will also be slow until we
achieve dryness. Grass is still growing! (as mentioned above) - and how much
rain we have received, it is just going to be so wet. Even though we start
to get better days ahead, it does not mean we will be getting everything
done all at once. We ask for our GREAT customers to be patient as the entire
fall clean up process does take a 3-4 week period, and we have only worked
for 2-3 days so far. The good news is the longer range forecasts continue to
look warmer and dryer, but we never know when it is going to all-of-a-sudden
change to winter. We totall understand this, but with what we have been
handed to start the fall cleanup season is out anybodys control.
As you scroll below, you will see zones you can click on for more details
about your area. Because we are technically so early in the process and now
coming out of a very wet period, we just do not know where we are going next
and our plan is to just work and do what we can considering the conditions
until they improve. This is also why we will not be updating this "general
update" again until around November 11th because we just need some time to
get something done, and then hopefully get into a more organized rhythm. If
you are a customer asking when we will be to your house for fall clean up
work, we just will not have an answer at this moment until further notice.
We apologize, but let's be fair about this...it is not an ideal start so far
for CNR to get much done.
Again, we will update again as we get into the week of 11/9 and we start
rollin'.
Fall Gutter Cleaning LATEST UPDATE
UPDATED WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 4:
With all the rain and how wet gutters will be for awhile, we do not have any
gutter cleaning plans yet. As things SLOWLY dry out as we progress through the
leaf clean up process (talked about above), we will start getting on ladders and
roofs as we truck along. Just no exact plan are available, but it is on our
mind!
COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES (businesses, apartment, town-homes, etc)
UPDATED WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 4:
As we have been delayed significantly from all the rain, we will be working
the weekend of 11/7 & 11/8. The plan will be to work on some of these types
of properties on this particular weekend stated, but not all will get done.
Then, for the ones that do not get done, we will work in during the weeks
past 11/7 & 11/8 as we progress through the rest of our fall clean up
schedules.

| 2020 End Date | December 3rd | |
| 2019 Start Date | October 25th | NOTES: First full week was pretty nice, then weather conflicts arrived... - record cold outbreak hit for the first half of November - some weather delays with rain/ice/snow - all clean ups were finished one-time through by November 19th - gutters froze early, but thankfully we got them done just before (mostly) - thaw came second half of November - last day November 25th - snowed out thereafter |
| 2019 End Date | November 25th | |
| 2018 Start Date | October 23rd | NOTES: Started pretty well early as a large chunk of leaves fell soon enough and cooperated enough with us - once we got going, we were going pretty strong, but short lived. - Top ten coldest November combined with snow, frozen conditions made for a very choppy november. - First snow to stay and shut us down was November 28th |
| 2018 End Date | November 28th | |
| 2017 Start Date | October 23rd | |
| 2017 End Date | December 2nd | NOTES: - Started at our earliest time every to get ahead of the game - Weather was in and out of frozen between the week of October 23rd through the middle of November. - Progress was weak because there were many weather wrinkles - We did have some early October snow as well, which is not unusual at all, but when this does happen, it slows us down tremendously. - In the end, the timing of getting all fall cleans done this season was not favorable, but we did get them all done eventually. - First snow to stay arrived December 4th |
| 2016 Start Date | October 27th | |
| 2016 End Date | December 7th | NOTES: - Although 10/27 was the official start date, we did not have all crews out until 10/31 - Leaves fell pretty nicely and on-time EXCEPT for Maple Trees. For some reason, Maple Trees hung on way too long (probably the wet summer caused this) - First 2 weeks of November were unbelievably warm! - - After the first 2 weeks, it became bumpy with rain/thunderstorms/snow/sleet/drizzle, etc. This made for our “official” ending date to be way late this year because we just could not get a good enough streak after the middle of November to just finish up. |
| 2015 Start Date | October 30th |
| 2015 End Date | November 24th | A day after we started, we were shut down from a large storm. Really were not getting much done until 11/2 - leaves hung up - late start.. -Warm fall! - several larger rain/wind storms (long durations). - Lost about 7-10 days total of work from the long duration rain/wind storms |
| 2014 Start Date | October 29th | Mother nature did not cooperate this year. We started after the leaves fell off (they fell in two batches around 10/18 and 10/28). The fall clean season was windy, rainy and finally snow filled. As a result of the snow that stayed after November 9th the cleanup season was cut short. |
| 2014 End Date | November 9th (see notes) | |
| 2013 Start Date | October 27th | |
| 2013 End Date | November 27th (1st Round)December 2nd (2nd round closure) | A bit of a late start this year: 50% of the leaves fell while the other 50% were just starting to change color...as a result the stubborn leaves and a late start, combined with several bouts of snow, wind and rain made for a difficult season. |
| 2012 Start Date | October 22nd | Our earliest start ever! |
| 2012 End Date | November 21st (1st Round) December 4th (2nd Round) |
Weather? We had it all from rain/snow/freezing through out the clean up process which made it the latest completion date ever, but ironically it was the earliest start ever... |
| 2011 Start Date | October 27th | |
| 2011 End Date | November 10th (1st Round) November 30th (2nd Round) |
Note - Big chunk of leaves fell mid-October, then the rest of the leaves took their time falling and they were very late in falling. Some trees had hardly any leaves down by 11/10, which is very late. Snow held off, first snow of 1.5" fell on 11/19. over Thanksgiving break, all snow melted, then we got back out to complete all 2nd round clean ups. Fall weather was pretty darn good. |
| 2010 Start Date | October 23rd (1st Round) November 8th (2nd Round) |
|
| 2010 End Date | November 17th (1st Round November 21st (2nd Round) |
Note - Leaves fell very early (by about a week), but there were a set of leaves that did not fall early that trickled down during our clean up process...while in progress of second round cleanups, a snowstorm shut us down Nov 13 (10" snow). |
| 2009 Start Date | November 1st | |
| 2009 End Date | November 23rd | Note - Record October precipitation including 3-4" of snow in total led to leaves staying up on the trees longer than usual; about a week longer. At the end of October the leaves dropped in mass. |
| 2008 Start Date | October 28th (1st Round) November 17th (2nd Round) |
|
| 2008 End Date | November 17th (1st Round) November 21st (2nd Round) |
Note - Started out with 9 straight days - then 3 day Rain/Snow/Wind event, and from this point and on, had to deal with either wet and/or frozen conditions (tough environment) - then 3 days in a row of more clean ups, then another 2 day rain/snow delay - then 7 days in a row to finish first round and second round clean ups during this time frame |
| 2007 Start Date | October 29th | |
| 2007 End Date | November 9th (1st Round) November 21st (2nd Round) |
Note - Although conditions were windier than normal fall seasons, we had a good stretch of dry weather and did not have any threats of snow. KEY NOTE: Leaves fell about 1 week late |
| 2006 Start Date | October 24th | |
| 2006 End Date | November 8th (1st Round) November 16th (2nd Round) |
Note - A very similar fall as to last season. Temperatures were cooler than last season and we did dodge a major winter storm on November 7th. KEY NOTE: Leaves fell about 1 week early. |
| 2005 Start Date | October 27th | |
| 2005 End Date | November 11th | Note - Weather cooperated - Above normal temps, dry and very few days with wind. |
| 2004 Start Date | October 28th | |
| 2004 End Date | November 12th | Note: 2+ inches of rain fell in October causing delays in the final completion date. C N' R fought through the heavy wet leaves to complete all cleanups before the snow flew! |
| 2003 Start Date | October 25th | |
| 2003 End Date | November 10th | Note - Leaves dropped on time, but 2" of snow in early November caused a delay |
| 2002 Start Date | November 3rd | |
| 2002 End Date | November 22nd | Note - Leaves did not cooperate well - leaves hung up for a long period of time - but fortunately the weather cooperated |
| 2001 Start Date | October 26th | |
| 2001 End Date | November 6th |
