Yard and Debris Cleanup in Chicago, IL
Branches, brush, overgrown corners and piles of clippings cleared out, so you can use your yard again.
A one-time reset for a yard that got away from you
Not every yard needs a regular visit. Sometimes it needs a one-time reset: a storm dropped limbs across the back lawn, a rental was left overgrown, a house is being prepared for sale, or the brush along the fence line has simply been building for two years. Yard and debris cleanup handles those jobs.
It is a different job from raking leaves or a spring cleanup. The work here is bigger and rougher: cutting and bundling branches, pulling out overgrown weeds and brush, clearing grass clippings and trimmings that have piled up, and gathering everything so the lawn is visible again. On a narrow city lot, where the debris often has to be carried through a gate or along the alley, the logistics are half the job.
This service is for yard waste. It is not tree removal, hauling of household junk or demolition, and we will tell you plainly when something is outside what we do. If it is lawn, garden or yard debris, send us the details.
Signs you need a yard cleanup
- Branches or storm debris are lying across the lawn and need to be cut and cleared.
- The fence line, alley edge or back corner has grown into a thicket of weeds and brush.
- Piles of clippings, trimmings or old yard waste have been sitting for weeks.
- You have taken over a rental, an inherited house or a neglected property.
- You are getting a home ready to sell and the yard is hurting the first impression.
- The lawn is buried under overgrowth and cannot be mowed until it is cleared.
- You received a complaint about the property and need it cleaned up quickly.
How a debris cleanup is handled
Walk-through
We look at the yard, the amount and type of debris and the route out through the gate, side yard or alley.
Cut and sort
Branches are cut down, brush and weeds are cleared and loose debris is gathered into manageable piles.
Bag and move
Debris is bagged or bundled and moved according to what we agree on the quote.
Rake and finish
We rake the area and blow off the walks so the lawn is ready to mow.
What affects the price of yard debris cleanup
We quote cleanups by the job because every yard is different. These are the main factors.
Amount of debris
A single fallen limb is quick. A season of brush along a full fence line is not.
Type of material
Branches take cutting and bundling; leaves and clippings take bagging; wet or compacted piles take longer to move.
Access
Debris that has to be carried through a narrow gate or down the alley takes more labor than debris near the street.
Disposal plan
Bagging for pickup, bundling or hauling away each change the time and cost of the job.

Yard & Debris Cleanup questions answered
Is yard debris cleanup the same as tree removal?
No. We clean up fallen branches and brush and cut limbs down to manageable size, but removing standing trees is a different job. We will tell you if your yard needs a tree service.
Can you clear a very overgrown backyard?
Yes, within reason. We cut and clear overgrown grass, weeds and brush so the lawn can be mowed. For a severe case, send photos so we can quote accurately.
Do you haul away household junk?
No. This service covers yard waste such as branches, brush, clippings and leaves, not furniture or household items.
How do I get a price for a cleanup?
Call (312) 550-4174 or use the quote form. Describe the yard, say how much debris there is and, if possible, send a photo.
Will you cut the lawn after the cleanup?
We can. Tell us when you ask for the quote, and we can quote the cleanup and the first mowing as one job.
