How much does yard cleanup cost in Chattanooga?

Yard cleanup in Chattanooga typically runs $200 to $700 for a single-visit residential cleanup, depending on lot size, leaf volume, and how much debris needs to be hauled. Heavy fall cleanups on tree-canopied properties (Lookout Mountain, Signal Mountain, Red Bank, North Shore) can run $500–$900 because of the sheer volume of leaves to manage.

Post-storm cleanups vary widely based on damage. We quote storm work after a quick on-site or phone-with-photos look.

The four kinds of yard cleanup we do

Spring cleanup — reset the yard for the year

The standard spring cleanup is what most clients pair with mulching to start the season clean. We:

  • Remove any leaves left from winter
  • Clear dead perennial growth from beds
  • Light pruning of obvious deadwood
  • Edge beds
  • Blow down all hard surfaces (driveway, patio, walkways)
  • Haul everything off-site

Best paired with: spring mulching and shrub trimming. Most efficient to do all three on the same visit.

Best timing: late March through April in Chattanooga.

Fall cleanup — leaf haul and bed reset

Fall is the heaviest cleanup of the year in Chattanooga because of the dense hardwood canopy. Pin oaks, tulip poplars, hickories, maples, and sweetgums all drop substantial volume between mid-October and early December.

For a typical fall cleanup we:

  • Blow and rake leaves from lawn and beds
  • Tarp and haul to compost or disposal
  • Remove dead annuals from beds
  • Cut back perennials that should be cut back (different by species — we know which)
  • Final blow-down of hard surfaces

Best timing: late November through early December for a single-visit cleanup. Heavy-canopy properties sometimes do two visits — one mid-November and one early December.

Post-storm cleanup — debris and damage

After a thunderstorm or wind event, we clear:

  • Branches and limbs across the lawn and beds
  • Sheared-off small trees (we coordinate with a tree service for anything that needs a chainsaw on a trunk)
  • Wind-damaged shrubs (assess for repair vs replace)
  • Erosion from heavy rain (washed-out mulch, gravel, soil)

For storm work we try to get there fast — call (423) 355-6008 the day after a storm and we'll work you into the schedule.

Bed reset — beyond seasonal cleanup

Sometimes a bed has gotten away from a homeowner. Weeds taken over, mulch decomposed to nothing, edge lost, plants overgrown. A bed reset is a more comprehensive single-visit job that can include:

  • Full weed pull (root-out, not just chop)
  • Old-mulch removal if it's matted or moldy
  • Hard re-edging
  • Selective shrub renovation pruning
  • Fresh mulch installation

This is typically a 1–2 day job for a typical residential front-and-back. Request an estimate with a description of what's overgrown.

What's included in every yard cleanup

  • Hauling — every job, no exceptions. Bags, piles, branches, all off-property.
  • Hard-surface cleanup — driveways, walkways, and patios blown clean.
  • Bed-line definition — beds blown out so the line between bed and lawn is visible.
  • Final walk-through — we walk the property with you (when you're home) to confirm everything's done.

Recurring vs one-time: Some clients book a full-property cleanup once or twice a year (spring + fall). Others combine it with monthly lawn service. We're flexible — say what you want, we'll quote it that way.

Equipment we bring to every cleanup

  • Backpack and walk-behind blowers (commercial-grade — not consumer leaf blowers)
  • Tarps and bags for hauling
  • Hand pruners, loppers, and hedge shears for incidental pruning
  • Truck and dump trailer for haul-off
  • Mower for any final lawn cleanup pass when leaves are mulchable

We don't sub-out cleanup work. The same crew that quotes the job does the job.

What's covered in our cleanup estimate

  • Square footage and tree-canopy assessment for leaf-volume estimate
  • Scope: lawn-only, beds-only, or full property
  • Single-visit or multi-visit recommendation
  • Hauling fee included (always)
  • Add-ons available (mulching, shrub trimming, edge cutting)
  • Total project price — flat rate, no surprises

Estimates are free, written, and no-pressure. Call (423) 355-6008 or request one online.
