fall cleanup

Seasonal yard work

Fall cleanup is the seasonal work of preparing a yard or garden for winter—raking leaves, cutting back perennials, clearing debris, and protecting plants from cold.

The phrase appears in both residential contexts I spent the weekend on fall cleanup and municipal announcements about leaf collection or yard waste pickup schedules.
