Real Experiences From GreenPal Wauwatosa Users
My husband has a couple serious buns on his legs and could not mow for a couple weeks ,grass got kinda high, this saved us time and energy.and Justin was such a nice young man,
Marvelous job!! J&R Lawn Services take their time and makes sure your lawn is cut to perfection. Thank you! Highly recommended.
I hired to take care of a family members yard. They completed the work the same day, I requested. I am very pleased as he also provided a photo of the completed work as I was not available to see for myself.
Made hiring a yard person easy. John was professional, prompt and did a good job.
Great! Convenient and cheap.
Very happy with Jared, professional awesome job with high attention to detail. He went above and beyond and my yard looks fantasic! I Highly recommend him...
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.
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.
Did great work and went beyond what was expected. Worked quick and did more than asked.
My yard is horrible and this team came in and did the best they could, I am completely satisfied w/the outcome & will be using them again! Thank you Robert!

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 Wauwatosa
Fall leaf cleanup in Wauwatosa 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, 88 lawns are cleaned up in the Wauwatosa area by GreenPal pros, at an average cost of $41 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 Wauwatosa
How much does leaf removal cost in Wauwatosa?
Prices vary based on yard size, but most Wauwatosa 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 Wauwatosa 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 Wauwatosa 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, Wauwatosa 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 Wauwatosa can get a pro on their lawn within 24 to 48 hours of posting the job.
