What this service covers
Plan leaf haul-away around the amount, how the leaves are contained, and the distance from the pile to the loading area.
Commonly reviewed
- Dry loose leaf piles
- Leaves in approved paper yard bags
- Pine needles and cones kept separate from trash
- Seasonal leaf buildup from lawns and planting beds
Ask before including
- Wet or heavily compacted leaves
- Leaves mixed with sticks, stones, soil, or trash
- Material beside steep banks or narrow access
- Very large volumes from commercial landscaping
Safety boundary: Haul-away is different from hazardous tree work. Do not approach downed lines, unstable trees, hung limbs, or tensioned branches.
How to prepare the request
Photograph the complete pile from at least two directions. Include the path to the driveway or loading position. Measure the pile when practical and state whether all cutting is complete.
Access and estimate factors
The material, volume, moisture, largest pieces, distance to the truck, stairs, gates, slopes, and soft ground can change the work. Soil, stone, sod, root balls, treated wood, fencing, and trash must be disclosed separately.
What happens next
- Call with the address, material, pile size, and access details.
- Share photos if requested so the scope can be reviewed.
- Confirm the work and price before loading begins.
- Keep children, pets, vehicles, and loose objects away from the loading route.
