Real Experiences From GreenPal Philadelphia Users
Great customer service!!
Mowing service was phenomenal!
Super convenient and easy to use.
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.
Victor did a great job on our lawn. He was fast, thorough and friendly. I’ll be using him regularly and am so happy to have found someone reliable to take care of our lawn.

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 Philadelphia
Fall leaf cleanup in Philadelphia 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, 224 lawns are cleaned up in the Philadelphia area by GreenPal pros, at an average cost of $44 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.
