Real Experiences From GreenPal Birmingham Users
Randy is an amazing person who did lawn service for the property on 10/10. He deserves more than 5-Star rating and a big applause and appreciation.
Not a single complaint from me!
GreenPal was a great way to easily book a mow. Don’t expect perfection but it was worth the price.
Very happy with Jared, professional awesome job with high attention to detail. He went above and beyond and my yard looks fantasic! I Highly recommend him...
We just used GreenPal for the first time for a property we have out of state. The grass had not been mowed in a couple months. I found GreenPal and I immediately found a gardener to mow and as of today, the grass is back to normal. I found the process simple to use and I had no issues. And the gardener I found was extremely responsive and did exactly what we needed him to do. I would highly recommend.
Without a doubt I would recommend this service to everyone. Mustang service is very reliable. I love how personal and compassionate they are.
Very prompt! Good work
Excellent
Yard looks great. Will definitely call again for service.
Best value and service for the DMV area. Thank you! 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Protect Gutters and
Roof From Leaf Buildup
Leaf buildup around the home can clog gutters and push water toward the roofline. In Birmingham, 1 in 4 leaf removal jobs includes a driveway, sidewalk, or gutter-adjacent cleanup. Some pros offer gutter debris add-ons during fall service windows.
Add-on available: 52% of leaf removal customers also book gutter cleaning
Leaves on Your Lawn
and Grass
Leaving thick layers of leaves on grass can block sunlight and trap moisture. Local pros typically recommend removing heavy leaf buildup before extended wet periods to reduce the risk of lawn damage. Light mulching can help, but it depends on coverage and grass type.
Local timing tip: Clear leaves before wet periods to prevent matting
Fall Leaf Cleanup Timing in Birmingham
Fall leaf cleanup in Birmingham typically starts in mid-October and continues through late November, as trees shed leaves in waves rather than all at once. Most homeowners schedule one to two cleanups during this period, depending on tree density and weather.
On average, 798 lawns are cleaned up in the Birmingham area by GreenPal pros, at an average cost of $58 per job
For many yards, the best timing is:
-
Late October
for the first cleanup to prevent heavy buildup
-
Mid to late November
for a final seasonal cleanup
If leaves are left too long, they can trap moisture, block sunlight, and create slippery surfaces on walkways and driveways.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Leaf Removal in Birmingham
How much does leaf removal cost in Birmingham?
Prices vary based on yard size, but most Birmingham residents see bids ranging from $100 to $450. The final price depends on whether you want them bagged, mulched, or hauled away.
Is there a minimum fee for leaf services?
Most local pros have a service minimum (often around $75) to cover travel and equipment setup for small lots.
Does leaf volume affect the price?
Yes. A yard with "ankle-deep" leaves requires significantly more man-hours than a light dusting.
Can I get a free estimate for leaf removal near me?
Yes, listing your yard on GreenPal triggers multiple free bids from local Birmingham vendors within hours.
Is an hourly rate or a flat fee better?
Flat fees are standard on GreenPal, so you know the exact cost before the pro starts.
Should I mulch my leaves or have them hauled away?
This depends on your lawn's health and your budget. Below is a quick breakdown to help you decide:
| Feature | Mulching (Eco-Option) | Hauling (Full Removal) |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Benefit | Natural fertilizer; improves soil | Instant "spotless" curb appeal |
| Cost | Lower (usually part of a mow) | Higher (labor + disposal fees) |
| Time | Fast (single pass with mower) | Long (blowing, bagging, loading) |
| Lawn Health | Boosts nutrients; suppresses weeds | Prevents mold; lets grass breathe |
| Best For... | Light to moderate leaf cover | Heavy leaves or pine needles |
| Limitation | Can't handle wet/thick leaf mats | Loses the natural "free" nutrients |
Do you haul away leaves or just blow them?
Most Birmingham pros offer both. You can choose to have them blown to the curb for city pickup or hauled away for an additional disposal fee.
Is leaf blowing enough or do I need full leaf removal?
If you have a wooded area, blowing them into the tree line is enough. For manicured lawns, full removal is better to prevent the wind from blowing them back.
Do leaf removal pros bring their own bags?
Yes, Birmingham vendors generally bring heavy-duty bags, but it’s always good to confirm in the app chat.
How fast can I get leaf removal service near me?
Through GreenPal, most users in Birmingham can get a pro on their lawn within 24 to 48 hours of posting the job.
