Real Experiences From GreenPal Portland Users
Impressive response time and great service despite gps making it difficult to find my home.
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.
Went above and beyond to make sure my job got completed when they said that it would despite whether issues and equipment issues. Lawn looks great! I look forward to having you back!
Derek was great and we’ve decided to have him come every other week. I highly recommend him!
Just needed a one-time mow and Fresh Cuts came out very quickly. Super friendly and did a great job! Will be getting on a weekly schedule soon as you can’t beat the price and ease.
Quick and efficient. The lawn looks great
The guys who cut my lawn were great. Our grass needed to be cut & they kindly came a day early to take of it. They didn't have to but they did. That's a professional team.
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.
Quick service and great job!
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.

Protect Gutters and
Roof From Leaf Buildup

Add-on available: 53% 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 Portland
Fall leaf cleanup in Portland 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, 324 lawns are cleaned up in the Portland area by GreenPal pros, at an average cost of $42 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 Portland
How much does leaf removal cost in Portland?
Prices vary based on yard size, but most Portland 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 Portland 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 Portland 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, Portland 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 Portland can get a pro on their lawn within 24 to 48 hours of posting the job.
