LawnStarter’s Leaf Removal Service in Chicago
The only thing worse in Chicago than the wind off Lake Michigan in the fall is when it blows every single leaf from your entire block directly into your yard. Instead of simply enjoying one of the last decent weekends before winter hits, you’re dealing with leaves in your yard.
Let LawnStarter’s leaf removal crews in Chicago take leaf cleanup off your to-do list.
LawnStarter’s leaf removal service in Chicago costs $110.02 on average for up to a 1-acre lawn, but pricing is based on the size of your yard and the amount of leaves on your property.
What’s included in LawnStarter’s leaf removal service: Our local leaf cleanup pros rake or blow the leaves onto a tarp and then bag them.
Leaf removal season in Chicago
In Chicago, the leaf removal season usually starts in late September and runs through October, but severe storms also can leave your yard covered in leaves at any time during the year.
What to do with all those bags of leaves?
If you bag your own leaves – or hire our local pro to rake and bag your leaves – you can call 311 to arrange to have leaves collected for composting anytime throughout the year. Leaves should be bagged separately from regular trash and placed at the curb or in the alley.
Note: Burning leaves is illegal in Chicago.
Why is leaf cleanup important?
A layer of leaves smothers grass, attracts pests, and lowers your curb appeal. (A leaf-covered lawn also looks like a lot of work to would-be homebuyers.)
How often should I have my leaves removed?
Biweekly or monthly leaf removal is common in your area, as yards tend to have more trees that drop their leaves in the fall.
Leaf removal takes hours of back-straining work. Let LawnStarter’s local leaf removal pros handle leaf cleanup, and you’ll get back all that time you spend in your yard raking, blowing, and bagging leaves.
