Re: How much are your spring clean-ups?

Re: How much are your spring clean-ups?
We just got a quote for $225 from the 1800lawnrep guys who advertise the $99 service everywhere. who knows what you get for that $99. our yard is .4 acre. last year i found a guy on craigslist who did it for $125, but he used our lawn bags and left them all for our pickup (didn't take them away). I would have used him again, but he's not doing it this year. I found 2 other guys on craigslist who I might call.

What does "cleanup" consist of. I am considering this too this year.

I have almost 1/2 an acre. I just paid $350..... they hauled away all the leaves, picked up all the fallen branches... made everything look neat & tidy...swept the driveway and curb area of all the sand and salt from the snow.
I feel we paid a lot, but we literally had sooooo many leaves, pine cones, and those damn pine needles.
Everything looks great but this is our first time doing a clean-up for spring. Thank god it will only be once a year.

We have a little more than half an acre. I was surprised my landscaper didn't come today (he comes Fridays). I assume ours will be in that general neighborhood for similar work-- will let you know! He should give us a price break for the phenomenal winter he had (he also plows and shovels for us!).

Re: How much are your spring clean-ups?
.77 ACRE. While DH usually does the yard work, spraying etc., I think we need to get a Prof. in, because our yard has a lot of dead spots (grubs ?) even though DH applied treatments. We also are on land that use to be a field, so there are always weeds, ie. clover, etc. trying to make a comeback. Where the Texas Eastern Pipeline cuts through our yard, the grass is usually nice, because it was resodded yrs. ago, after one of the old pipes was removed. Mary

Re: How much are your spring clean-ups?
This is the first year we are getting our landscaper to do spring clean up-he is charging us 200$ for our 50X200 yard. I just wish he would get here and do it already-I am itching to start planting but don't want to do the clean up since we already paid him!

Re: How much are your spring clean-ups?
It's usually ~$400 for our 1/2 acre. If we buy mulch, they will put it down (otherwise they charge too much for the mulch)
We actually had a late fall clean-up and I think the yard still looks OK, so I think I'm skipping this spring.
