How Unionville handles fall leaves
Unionville 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. The county's Austin Chaney Road site takes larger yard waste loads, and the county remains the authority on what it accepts.
Unionville leaves yard waste to private haulers and county sites (private haulers and county sites). We plan loading, trailer trips and drop-off into each estimate, so the pile is not waiting on a service that does not exist.
Storm risk, tree work and burning rules
In FEMA's National Risk Index from December 2025, Union County is relatively moderate overall. Ice storms are very high, strong wind is relatively high and tornadoes are relatively high, so storm cleanups mostly mean broken limbs.
Open burning rules vary by town and fire district, so our plans use hauling or mulching, and we confirm local rules before any burn is considered.
What the setting means for beds
Large rural properties often combine lawn, pasture edges and wooded borders, so cleanup and planting scopes vary widely.
