On average, you can expect to pay between $0.02 and $0.10 per square foot for leaf removal, which means the cost for a typical yard could range from $150 to $550 depending on the size and leaf volume; most companies charge by the hour with rates usually between $15 and $60 per worker, with a minimum fee around $100 – $200.
Factors to consider when setting your price:
- Yard size: Larger yards will naturally cost more.
- Leaf density: A yard with a heavy concentration of leaves will take longer to clean up.
- Tree type: Some trees produce more leaves than others.
- Location: Prices may vary based on your local market.
- Service level: Basic leaf removal may be cheaper than a more thorough cleanup that includes removing leaves from flowerbeds and hard-to-reach areas.
$0.06/ sq. ft. on average, or $37.5 per person on average; with a $150 minimum on average.
