A short profile of Fairview
Wikipedia reports that Fairview incorporated in 2001 and counted 3,463 residents in 2020. It lies in the foothills of the Uwharrie Mountains, with Tyler Knob rising to 849 feet on the Fairview and Unionville town line, and the Rocky River crossing the town.

Indian Land to Fairview: about 22.2 miles in a straight line, going by the Census Gazetteer centers.
What Fairview does with leaves and limbs
Fairview is not on Union County's list of towns with municipal curbside service, so leaves are hauled privately or taken to a county site.
No town limb rules apply, so limb size limits come from your private hauler. The county landfill and compost sites on Austin Chaney Road take larger loads.
Since Fairview offers no municipal pickup (private haulers and county sites), a fall cleanup here is a hauling job as much as a raking job. The quote says how the material leaves and where it goes.
Storm ratings, trees and burn rules
FEMA's National Risk Index (December 2025) rates Union County's overall risk as relatively moderate, with ice storms rated very high, strong wind relatively high and tornadoes relatively high. For a yard, those ratings point at limbs and debris.
Burning is never part of our plan. If you are thinking about it, check with the town or fire department first.
Landscaping in Fairview
Rolling foothill terrain means more slope, runoff and exposed roots than flat suburban lots, which shapes planting and light placement.
