Real Experiences From GreenPal Durham Users
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.
Quick and efficient. The lawn looks great
I moved to Sand springs and left my lawn mower behind this app helped me find good lawn care at a great price
Bernard is very nice and professional. I will definitely call for him again should I need more work done.
Very prompt! Good work
Really fast.
Super quick service. did a good job. Worked out for me in a pinch because my lawn equipment is in the shop and will be for a few more days. I would recommend for regular Service as well.
So easy
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.
Responded right away and completed work hours after I asked for a quote.

Protect Gutters and
Roof From Leaf Buildup
Leaf buildup around the home can clog gutters and push water toward the roofline. In Durham, 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: 45% 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 Durham
Fall leaf cleanup in Durham 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, 577 lawns are cleaned up in the Durham area by GreenPal pros, at an average cost of $50 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 Durham
How much does leaf removal cost in Durham?
Prices vary based on yard size, but most Durham 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 Durham 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 Durham 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, Durham 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 Durham can get a pro on their lawn within 24 to 48 hours of posting the job.
