Yard cleanup costs $200 to $600 for a standard visit on Angi and HomeAdvisor — corporate siblings whose matching figures alone don’t establish independent corroboration — against $200 to $500 on separately owned Fixr. Angi and HomeAdvisor publish a $360 national average, while Fixr prices its $350 average to a quarter-acre cleanup. Labor runs $30 to $80 per hour on the sibling pages against $50 to $100 on Fixr, a divergence both sides publish without reconciling, figures as published (January 2025 to June 2026).123
Cost by yard size
All three publishers price cleanup by lot size. Angi and HomeAdvisor publish an identical size table — matching figures from sibling pages, which alone don’t establish independent corroboration — while Fixr’s table carries wider ranges at each size, figures as published.123
| Lot size | Angi & HomeAdvisor | Fixr |
|---|---|---|
| ⅙ acre | $150 – $225 | — |
| ⅕ acre | $175 – $275 | $150 – $400 |
| ¼ acre | $225 – $400 | $200 – $500 |
| ½ acre | $430 – $700 | $400 – $1,000 |
| ¾ acre | $650 – $800 | — |
| 1 acre | $850 – $1,100 | $800 – $2,000 |
Angi’s own lead quotes a quarter-acre cleanup at $200 to $500 while its size table publishes $225 to $400 for the same size — a within-source discrepancy the page doesn’t reconcile; the table figures appear above, as published.2
Cost by service
Both sides itemize common cleanup tasks; Angi and HomeAdvisor publish an identical service table, matching figures from sibling pages, and Fixr’s per-task ranges differ in scope and price, figures as published.123
| Service | Angi & HomeAdvisor | Fixr |
|---|---|---|
| Leaf removal | $190 – $600 | $200 – $400 |
| Junk / debris removal | $130 – $380+ | $75 – $150 |
| Mowing | $50 – $200 | — |
| Weeding / weed control | $50 – $150 | $65 – $150 |
| Mulch installation / cleanup | $100 – $350 | $100 – $400 |
| Garden cleanup | $45 – $75 per hour | $60 – $150 |
| Hedge / tree pruning | $270 – $1,400 | $350 – $650 |
| Tree trimming | — | $175 – $750 |
| Shrub trimming | — | $40 – $180 |
| Forestry mulching | $400 – $1,500 | — |
Cost by frequency
The two sides structure recurring pricing differently, so the tables aren’t like-for-like: Angi and HomeAdvisor publish a per-cleanup price by schedule, while Fixr publishes the total annual cost for a quarter-acre yard by contract type, figures as published.123
| Frequency | Angi & HomeAdvisor, per cleanup | Fixr, annual cost (¼ acre) |
|---|---|---|
| Annual | $360 | $200 – $500 |
| One-time visit | — | $300 – $2,000 |
| Quarterly | $125 | $400 – $800 |
| Monthly | $50 | $600 – $1,200 |
| Bi-weekly | — | $650 – $1,300 |
Cost by season
All three publishers price a spring cleanup at $100 to $300 and a fall cleanup at $200 to $500 — matching figures across separately owned publishers, which alone don’t establish independent corroboration — with fall demand pushing prices up as leaf volume peaks, figures as published.123
Pricing methods and labor
Cleanup crews bill several ways. Angi and HomeAdvisor quote labor at $30 to $80 per hour, a flat rate of $200 to $600, and $0.02 to $0.05 per square foot for standard debris — with complex junk removal reaching $0.10 per square foot — and attribute 90% to 95% of the total to labor. Fixr quotes $50 to $100 per hour, $5 to $10 per bag, $0.02 to $0.05 per square foot, and flat rates of $150 to $1,200. The hourly ranges diverge between the two sides and neither reconciles the difference, figures as published.123
Disposal and overgrowth
Hauling adds cost when debris volume is high: Angi and HomeAdvisor price disposal at $5 to $10 per bag and add $250 to $550 for non-natural debris like concrete, while Fixr prices hauling at $200 to $550 with $50 to $100 per load. An overgrown yard runs $300 to $700 on Fixr, which notes overgrowth can double typical prices; Angi prices a neglected yard’s recovery at up to $1,500, figures as published.123
DIY notes
HomeAdvisor prices the DIY equipment route: lawn mower $200 to $750, leaf blower $90 to $400, weed trimmer $150 to $400, hedge trimmer $70 to $400, and a rake at $12 to $40. DIY skips the labor charge — the largest cost component on both sides — but adds your time and disposal runs; check local rules for curbside yard-waste pickup before bagging, figures as published.13
