Christian and crew were great! I came in from out of town and my elderly Mom waited too long to get her many leaves picked up. Found CFH Exteriors on ANGI. Good, quick communication and responses. They did a good job and the price was reasonable. Will be using them again and calling in the...

After I bought the service, it snowed and Extreme Lawns wasn't able to pick up the leaves. While the weather was out of their control, they agreed to come right away in the Spring (April) when the snow melted to do the job. Not only did they remove all the leaves and remove debris from the...

Al's Lawn Service (Alex Monicken - also a real estate agent) left a leaf removal flyer in our mailbox. Alex came out to the house and quoted $80 to rake and remove all leaves. He did come to the house as scheduled and raked some of the leaves into piles but left most of the job unfinished. He...

This company also has a lawn service. I had them remove leaves they were prompt and professional and did a great job. I hired them for winter snow removal and they sent a truck out the same day to clean up snow that the plows had loaded up in front of our driveway.

I have HUGE maple trees and a very large and awkward lot- leaves knee-deep! They were very quick with an estimate and gave a bid better than all others- even at flat rates. They got me in their queue even at a late date in the fall and were out relatively soon. (Generally their leaf removal...

I bought this service as an Angie's List great deal. It turned out to be not a great deal at all. It created the biggest hassle I have ever had in leaf removal. Their prices were so high for bagging and/or leaf removal that it would have ended up costing me almost $500 for them to bag or...

Went well despite some snow delays, leaves got picked up leaving just a few stragglers that were frozen to the ground. Not having to rent a truck to haul all the leaf bags to the yard waste place was definitely nice.

Leaf removal services FAQs

Hiring a leaf removal company is a reliable way to get rid of a lot of leaves in your yard. Some companies offer a full range of yard cleaning services, while others may only haul away the leaves you gather and bag yourself. If you prefer the DIY route, you can try mulching leaves with your mower, using a leaf blower to collect them, using a leaf tarp to bag them, and more.

Leaf removal costs between $400 and $1,000 per acre on average. Nationally, the cost of leaf removal averages about $350. Cost factors for this project include lawn size, leaf removal method, tree density, location, and the time required to do the job. If your lawn removal service charges based on lawn size, you can expect to pay $0.02 to $0.10 per square foot.

Removing leaves from your lawn and yard has a few benefits. Leaves that cover your lawn over the winter can block sunlight from reaching your lawn, smothering and even killing the grass. Leftover leaves in your yard can create bare patches that you’ll need to reseed in the spring to return the grass to its former glory. Hiring a leaf removal company can save you time and labor, especially if your lawn is large or you have a high density of trees dropping leaves in your yard.

Whether you hire leaf removal done during the spring or fall or both, it’s often a good time to have the leaf removal company tackle other projects if they offer other lawn services. Other projects to bundle with leaf removal include:

Junk removal: $60–$600
Mowing: $50–$200
Weeding: $70–$150
Mulching: $75 per cubic yard
Hedge and tree pruning: $75–850
Lawn aeration: $0.10–$0.35 per square foot
Garden cleanup: $45–$75 per hour

You should hire a leaf removal company if you don’t have the time or tools to keep up with the leaves falling in your yard. Hiring leaf removal professionals will free up your time to take care of other household priorities, plus they will clear your lawn more quickly and efficiently than using DIY methods. Be sure to contact leaf removal companies at the end of summer to secure a scheduled visit in the fall, and shop around to get a few estimates and compare pricing.
