Real Experiences From GreenPal St Cloud Users
Amanda did a fantastic job on my yard and it looks better than it has all summer.
Excellent! Very pleased with their professionalism and promptness. Look forward to working with them again. Special thanks to Alex.
Without a doubt I would recommend this service to everyone. Mustang service is very reliable. I love how personal and compassionate they are.
Super quick and easy to get several estimates without having to make all the phone calls. Hired someone and he did a great job! I am super happy with the service from both the site and the business that mowed my lawn!
the person that cut my lawn did a excellent job. His work is far better than I am able to do. He has become my lawncare person. He is prompt, courteous, friendly and skilled.
Impressive response time and great service despite gps making it difficult to find my home.
Good job!
I was able to hire someone very quickly through GreenPal.
I don’t know the quality vs quantity because I am not there to see it. It is comforting to know that there are professionals already prepared and cheerfully willing to help. Thank you so much!
Did great work and went beyond what was expected. Worked quick and did more than asked.

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 St Cloud
Fall leaf cleanup in St Cloud 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, 9 lawns are cleaned up in the St Cloud area by GreenPal pros, at an average cost of $25 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 St Cloud
How much does leaf removal cost in St Cloud?
Prices vary based on yard size, but most St Cloud 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 St Cloud 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 St Cloud 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, St Cloud 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 St Cloud can get a pro on their lawn within 24 to 48 hours of posting the job.
