Real Experiences From GreenPal Raleigh Users
Due to overseeing and a recent freeze my grass grew too tall for my electric mower. The mower I hired was the lowest price that responded, and he was very good at communicating what day he would come out. The grass was cut properly and looks good afterwards considering how it looked before.
The first person I booked flaked on me 2x without reply via text but the second person was phenomenal! Very professional and did an amazing job with my lawn. Highly recommend.👍🏼
Fast responsive and did a great job. I will be using them again.
I was able to find a solution to my lawn problem with Greenpal. I was able to hire a dependable lawn service at a great price. The Lawn Liberator was easy to communicate with via text and answered quickly. He arrived at my property as scheduled and completed my lawn maintenance at a great price.
Great work!
I had a very reliable and pleasant experience. Definitely recommend hiring him for your lawn mowing services.
Highly Recommended!
Patrick was very quick and he mowed my grass greatly. I am very happy with the work he has done and certainly I will book him again.
Excellent service very fast friendly and very helpful Thanks!
It's nice to be able to get some good quality bids quickly.

Protect Gutters and
Roof From Leaf Buildup
Leaf buildup around the home can clog gutters and push water toward the roofline. In Raleigh, 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: 69% 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 Raleigh
Fall leaf cleanup in Raleigh 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, 1,232 lawns are cleaned up in the Raleigh area by GreenPal pros, at an average cost of $46 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 Raleigh
How much does leaf removal cost in Raleigh?
Prices vary based on yard size, but most Raleigh 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 Raleigh 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 Raleigh 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, Raleigh 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 Raleigh can get a pro on their lawn within 24 to 48 hours of posting the job.
