Real Experiences From GreenPal Bloomington Users
Impressive response time and great service despite gps making it difficult to find my home.
Very good to have them find a landscaper and options for Illinois. Our lawn mowed broke and we wanted our lawn mowed asap. They found us options and provided those options very quick.
Very good work!
I told them what I needed done and when they finished, the job was completed as I had instructed them to do. Chris (owner) was very nice and professional. I am glad I found them. I will surely continue to hire them for my lawn care needs.
the person that cut my lawn did a excellent job. His work is far better than I am able to do. He has become my lawncare person. He is prompt, courteous, friendly and skilled.
Excellent service! Fast and on time. Will highly recommend!
Quick and efficient. The lawn looks great
Mr Wideman showed up when he said he would and did a wonderful job with my lawn. i will definitely be scheduling another appointment with him. The online service is easy to use. Thank you.
So nice to get service without having to make multiple calls and trying to find out pricing and then actually have someone show up when I need them! Great site , great service!
Greenpal helped me find a lawn serviec who was out the next day and very well priced.

Protect Gutters and
Roof From Leaf Buildup
Leaf buildup around the home can clog gutters and push water toward the roofline. In Bloomington, 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: 39% 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 Bloomington
Fall leaf cleanup in Bloomington 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, 84 lawns are cleaned up in the Bloomington area by GreenPal pros, at an average cost of $59 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 Bloomington
How much does leaf removal cost in Bloomington?
Prices vary based on yard size, but most Bloomington 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 Bloomington 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 Bloomington 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, Bloomington vendors generally bring heavy-duty bags, but itβs always good to confirm in the app chat.
How fast can I get leaf removal service near me?
Through GreenPal, most users in Bloomington can get a pro on their lawn within 24 to 48 hours of posting the job.
