Real Experiences From GreenPal Columbia Users
Dan did a great job, we discussed a game plan going forward. Satisfied with the scheduling and appointment process. Looking forward to working with ya’ll.
Needed a mow until. My knee healed. This group was quick to match me to a vendor and the vendor did mow, trim and clean up well. Low fee.
Showed up when they said. Were done and give before we realized it. Professional work, professional folks, excellent company. Definitely using them going forward.
This yard service is GREAT!!
GreenPal made it easy to see multiple quotes for lawn service, read reviews, schedule lawn care, etc. I now have a lawn service scheduled reccuringly at an affordable price that does a great job.
Excellent
Thomas did a great job. Hard working. Did not left any mess behind like mowers did in the past. I am very happy with his work. I highly recommend him.
Got my lawn taken care of promptly and did a great job.
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.
I had to hire a second service, as the first company didn't work out. But the second company we hired (Dirty Hands, LLC) did a very nice job. Very respectful of the property. Did his job with no fanfare and left. The service was easy to use, payment is a breeze. Will continue to use this service.

Protect Gutters and

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 Columbia
Fall leaf cleanup in Columbia 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, 1,161 lawns are cleaned up in the Columbia area by GreenPal pros, at an average cost of $45 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 Columbia
How much does leaf removal cost in Columbia?
Prices vary based on yard size, but most Columbia 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 Columbia 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 Columbia 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, Columbia 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 Columbia can get a pro on their lawn within 24 to 48 hours of posting the job.
