As Fright Fest Arrives at Six Flags Gurnee, IL Keep Your Lawn from Looking Scary This Fall
Hey there, I’m Gerry owner of Evo Lawn & Landscape, right here in Lake County, IL. Now that spooky season has rolled into Gurnee, you can practically feel the excitement in the air — and no, it’s not just the screams coming from Six Flags Great America’s Fright Fest.
Every year, thousands of people come to Gurnee to ride roller coasters, eat funnel cakes, and get scared out of their minds. But while everyone’s focused on ghosts and goblins, there’s something even scarier creeping around local yards this time of year fallen leaves. 🍂
🎢 Fright Fest Fun at Six Flags Great America
Let’s be real — Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, IL is the heart of fall fun around here. From mid-September through early November, Fright Fest takes over the park with haunted houses, scare zones, creepy clowns, and that eerie fog that rolls through at dusk.
It’s one of those events that puts Gurnee on the map, drawing in visitors from all over Illinois and Wisconsin. But while everyone’s getting spooked at the park, most homeowners around town are dealing with a different kind of horror yards buried under piles of leaves.
🍂 When Fall Hits Gurnee, So Do the Leaves
If you live here, you already know how fast the seasons change. One minute your grass is green and lush, and the next your entire lawn is hidden under a blanket of leaves.
Those leaves might look pretty for a week, but here’s the ugly truth:
They block sunlight from your grass.
They trap moisture, which can cause mold and fungus.
They smother your lawn, leading to dead patches by spring.
And while the Village of Gurnee offers leaf collection from October through early December, they only pick up what’s raked to the curb — not the leaves hiding under your bushes, around fences, or packed into garden beds.
That’s where my crew and I come in.
