Title: Leaf removal?
Post by: charky on December 24, 2010, 03:03:10 PM
Any recommendations?

Called a guy that had stuck a sign in our yard and got a quote of $140 for front and back (good size corner lot with a HUGE oak tree in the back). Will get a few more estimates...but I haven't a clue if this price sounds fair.

After living on Trenton off Cherry St. for years (massive Sycamores) and now with our huge oak...I've grown tired of the endless bagging.

Thanks!

Chop them up with your lawn mower. 
Really.

Agreed. Used to do it two or three times during the winter when I lived off of Pine and Memorial. Had two huge elms, one in front and one in the backyard.
