Hire a leaf removal service to rid your yard of fallen leaves
A leaf raking service clears your yard quickly using professional blowers, removing leaves from hard-to-reach corners and hauling away all debris when finished.
Yard clearing costs range from $200 to $1,000 depending on your property size and tree coverage, making professional removal worth considering for heavily treed yards.
You can rake leaves yourself and hire a service just for pickup and disposal, saving money while avoiding the physical labor of clearing large areas.
Hiring a local leaf removal professional takes the hassle out of fall cleanup, handling everything from blowing and collecting to proper disposal off your property.
Watching autumn leaves change color is one of the best parts of fall, but removing fallen leaves once the seasons turn can be time-consuming and labor-intensive. Hiring a leaf removal service to clear leaves from your yard can save you time, effort, and a sore back so you can enjoy your yard without all the raking.
The trees in your yard provide shade, add privacy, and enhance the natural beauty of your landscape. But when the leaves start falling, removing them becomes a dreaded task that can consume your weekends when you’d rather be out picking pumpkins or going on hayrides. Hire a leaf removal service to tackle the task instead. The average cost for yard clearing is between $200 and $1,000, depending on the size of your yard and how many trees you have.
If your yard is heavily treed, you can expect cleaning up and removing leaves to be a massive job. Raking is slow and labor-intensive, and once you’ve raked, you need to find somewhere to dispose of the leaves or bag them up if your area offers municipal yard waste collection. A leaf removal service can clear your yard in just a few hours.
Many people aren’t able to dispose of fallen leaves on their property, and while many areas offer curbside yard waste collection, you’ll still need to get all of your leaves off the lawn and to the collection point. Leaf removal services will take your leaves away with them, leaving nothing behind to clean up.
Raking your yard often leaves behind stray leaves in hard-to-access areas. Most leaf removal services work in teams, using professional leaf blowers to quickly clear leaves from every corner of your yard and remove pine needles and other debris like sticks and acorns.
Many homeowners remove their own leaves, but it takes a lot of time and physical labor—plus, you need a way to dispose of the leaves when you’re done raking, which can add time and effort to an already tedious task. If your yard is small or you have very few trees, it may make more sense for you to remove your own leaves than to hire a leaf removal service.
If you don’t have many leaves to remove, there are several things to do with fallen leaves that don’t require disposal, like mulching the leaves, using them for compost, or protecting your gardens from freezing temperatures. If your yard has heavy tree cover, you’ll need to remove your leaves to prevent the thick layer of dead vegetation from killing your grass since it won’t allow sunlight or air circulation and can trap moisture, causing mold and attracting pests.
You can also split the task and save some money. In areas without municipal leaf collection, you can rake your leaves and then have a local leaf removal service pick up and dispose of your collected leaves for a lower price than having them clear your yard.
Landscaping companies often offer leaf removal services, so it’s worth asking a local landscaper if they can clear your leaves. However, some landscaping companies, particularly smaller ones, may not have the truck space or proper equipment to dispose of your leaves. Double-check with your landscaper to see if they offer leaf and yard waste removal or if they can recommend a service if they don’t.
The leaf removal process is pretty straightforward:
The service will arrive at your home with several workers outfitted with leaf blowers.
The workers will clear your leaves, often starting from the back of the property, blowing the leaf piles toward the front.
Once the leaves are cleared from the yard, they’ll load them into a truck or trailer, often using a large vacuum. Some companies will feed the leaves through a mulcher to save room in the truck.
They’ll then dispose of the collected leaves at an approved disposal location.
