LawnStarter’s Leaf Removal Service in Des Moines

When fall hits Des Moines, you have better things to do than raking, bagging, and wrangling all those leaves that cover your yard.

Let LawnStarter’s leaf removal crews in Des Moines take leaf cleanup off your to-do list. 

LawnStarter’s leaf removal service in Des Moines costs $150.55 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 Des Moines:

In Des Moines, the leaf removal season usually starts in early October and runs through early November, but severe storms can also blanket your yard in debris any time of year.

What to do with all those leaves:

Des Moines has free curbside leaf pickup year-round as part of its Compost It! program.

Note: Des Moines prohibits the open burning of leaves and other yard waste.

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 Des Moines, as yards here 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. You’ll get back all that time you spend in your yard raking, blowing, and bagging leaves.
