I had hired Stamford Junk Pros for a dumpster service job, and they did such a good job that I hired them for leaf hauling as well. They were superb - they hauled the leaves and they left no strays. I am grateful for how well they did.

Good. "4 hours" didn't go as far as I would've thought but they did a good job. Would've preferred they took away the leaves in their truck instead of bag. Would've saved time for more leaf removal.

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.
