Real Experiences From GreenPal St. Louis Users
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.
Great service!
Thomas did a great job. Hard working. Did not left any mess behind like mowers did in the past. I am very happy with his work. I highly recommend him.
I was able to hire someone very quickly through GreenPal.
He did an amazing job on my yard. Thank you so much for your service!
Bobby from Royal Lawn Care did an excellent job. I was very pleased with the service he provided. He was professional & courteous. I would definitely use him again.
So easy
Well done!
Was in a pinch for lawn service & did a estimate over the weekend, online. Booked & my yard was finished quickly the following Monday (less than 2 days basically!) Everything looks great. I definitely recommend.
This yard service is GREAT!!

Protect Gutters and
Roof From Leaf Buildup
Leaf buildup around the home can clog gutters and push water toward the roofline. In St. Louis, 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: 64% 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 St. Louis
Fall leaf cleanup in St. Louis 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, 6,092 lawns are cleaned up in the St. Louis area by GreenPal pros, at an average cost of $40 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.

Read reviews that mention:
Came late in the day for snow removal, did an adequate job.
We highly recommend Jeremy. He showed up without an actual plow and truck. Hes a solid American hard worker. Not many do a personal shoveling these days and leave it looking so great!
Lack of communication but was kind when they finally responded
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Leaf Removal in St. Louis
How much does leaf removal cost in St. Louis?
Prices vary based on yard size, but most St. Louis 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. Louis 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. Louis 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. Louis 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. Louis can get a pro on their lawn within 24 to 48 hours of posting the job.
