how much do you pay for 'fall cleanups'

Thinking about hiring someone to do it for us next year, now that we're going on our third weekend of raking leaves

When we had the house we did it every year. 1/2 acre and a Ton of leaves. Costed us $150

I think we're getting robbed- Our landscaper said he comes twice and they want $130 each time they come

ETA- we have 100x100 piece of property

The kid that cleans up my yard only charges me $20 bucks (for a cut) and that includes clean-up of leaves and he comes every sunday night to put the bags out to the curb for the garbage men.

our guy charged $350 the first time, and wants $200 for another cleanup 4 weeks later.



we're on 70x100 piece of prop.

i LOVE my guys. we have them come every other week. $75!!! im on a 75x150 property with a million trees. its like a blanket of leaves before they come, but crystal clean when they leave!!

Re: how much do you pay for 'fall cleanups'

i know we pay about $250 for spring clean-up... i'm not sure if a fall clean-up would cost us about the same, or less. we don't do it. our landscapers just did the final cut for the season ($30 a week) and they got up all the leaves that fell so far. it's not worth it to me, to have them come again before the spring. we only have 2 trees in our front yard... and i figure snow will just be covering it all soon anyway

We paid 140 last year on a 60 x120, it also included cleaning out the gutters.

Re: how much do you pay for 'fall cleanups'

We got rid of our guy because he was getting to expensive and was charging us tax which may be the norm now? I wont bash them publicly because I think they are a vendor on here. Anyways it was $200 for a 80x100 property and they never touched the leaves behind my shed and where horrible with trimming with the weed wacker.

Re: how much do you pay for 'fall cleanups'

We told our gardener not to do fall clean up. I told myself I'd buy a rake and do it myself but haven't had the chance yet! Anyway our yard is 30 x 50 with one small tree. We were getting charged $250
