Professional lawn care and landscaping companies are the primary providers of comprehensive yard cleanup services. While some homeowners prefer to do the work themselves, many rely on professionals with the expertise and equipment to efficiently tackle yard cleanup tasks.

Follow these suggestions to identify a trustworthy and reliable cleanup service in your area:

• Look for companies that provide upfront, personalized quotes based on the size of your yard and the specific services needed. Avoid companies that don't clearly outline their pricing structure and any potential add-on fees.
• Choose a company that can provide service in a timely manner, ideally within a few days if needed.
• Look for licensed and insured providers with positive customer reviews. Also, choose companies that use trained, experienced crews with a history of quality work.
• Determine if the company can handle the full scope of your yard cleanup needs, from leaf removal to debris hauling. Inquire about any additional services they provide, like lawn mowing, aeration, or seasonal cleanups.
• Ask about the products and methods they use, ensuring they are safe for your lawn and the environment.
• Choose a provider that stands behind their work with a satisfaction guarantee and is willing to address any issues or concerns.

Yard cleanup costs $125 to $400, depending on the season, your yard size, and the services you need. Fall is the most expensive season for yard cleanup because of the extra labor involved in cleaning fallen leaves.

Also, the larger your yard, the more the cleanup will cost. A ¼ acre lot costs $220 to $500, while a ½ acre lot costs $400 to $1,000 for an average cleanup that includes cleaning leaves, small branches, and lightweight debris. An overgrown yard can cost even more for the extra time and effort involved.
