Costing and Pricing Yard Clean-Up Services

Lee's Evergreen Academy

At Lee’s General Landscaping, we take pride in offering transparent, fair pricing that reflects the value of our work while ensuring our team is paid fairly for their expertise. Whether it’s a quick yard clean-up or a more involved project, our goal is to provide you with clear and honest bids so you know exactly what to expect. Here’s how we approach costing and pricing for yard clean-up services.


1. Calculating Costs: The Building Blocks of Your Quote

Every yard clean-up project is unique, and the cost is influenced by several factors:

  • Labor: We calculate the time and effort required based on the condition of your yard. Overgrown or neglected spaces may take more time, while routine clean-ups are quicker.
  • Materials: If additional materials are needed—like mulch, compost, or plant replacements—we factor those into the cost.
  • Equipment: Whether it’s hand tools or heavy-duty equipment, the type of tools required for the job also impacts pricing.

Our transparent pricing approach ensures that you see exactly how these elements come together to create your bid.


2. Pricing Strategies: Tailored to Fit Your Project

We use flexible pricing strategies to fit the size and scope of your project:

  • Per Hour: For smaller, straightforward clean-ups, hourly pricing keeps things simple and fair.
  • Per Job: For larger or more complex projects, we provide a flat rate based on the overall scope of work.
  • By Yard Size: In cases where the size of the yard is a significant factor, we price based on the square footage and complexity of the space.

This flexibility ensures you’re only paying for the work you need, with no surprises.


3. Budget-Friendly Options: Scaled Services to Meet Your Needs

We understand that every homeowner has different budget considerations. That’s why we offer scaled service options, allowing you to choose what works best for you:

  • Full-Service Clean-Ups: A comprehensive package that includes debris removal, pruning, weeding, and soil preparation.
  • Basic Clean-Ups: Focused on essential tasks like mowing and raking to freshen up your yard quickly.
  • Add-On Services: Options like mulching, planting, or pest control can be added as needed, giving you control over the final cost.

By tailoring our services to your needs, we help you achieve the results you want without breaking the bank.


4. Seasonal Pricing Adjustments: Balancing Demand and Fairness

Seattle’s landscaping needs vary by season, and so does the demand for our services. During peak times, like spring and fall, we adjust our pricing to account for increased labor and equipment needs. However, we also offer off-season discounts to encourage proactive yard care and help homeowners save.

  • Spring: Busy season for clean-ups, planting prep, and fertilizing.
  • Summer: Focused on maintenance and pest control.
  • Fall: Leaf removal, pruning, and winterization services.
  • Winter: Discounted rates for off-season clean-ups and prep work.

By being upfront about these adjustments, we help you plan your yard care budget effectively.


Why Fair Pricing and Quality Service Matter

At Lee’s General Landscaping, we’re committed to doing right by our clients and our team. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Transparent Bids: No hidden fees, no guesswork—just clear, itemized quotes you can trust.
  • Fair Wages for Our Team: Our skilled professionals are the heart of our business. We ensure they’re paid fairly for their expertise, which leads to higher-quality service for you.
  • Quality Results: With decades of experience, we deliver results that exceed expectations, ensuring your yard is clean, healthy, and ready for the seasons ahead.
