# What does a fall clean-up cost in Framingham? 7 things that set the price

No honest landscaper can price a clean-up without seeing the yard. What we can do is show you what moves the price, so a quote makes sense when you get it.

## The short answer

- The biggest drivers are yard size, how many trees drop leaves on it, and how many beds need clearing.
- Bagging leaves for Framingham's curbside pickup and hauling them away are priced differently.
- Framingham's Yard Waste Facility takes residential loads only, no commercial loads, which changes how a landscaper disposes of leaves.

## What a fall clean-up usually covers

- Leaves off the lawn, beds and hard surfaces.
- Beds cut back and cleared.
- Sticks and fallen branches picked up.
- Leaves bagged for the City, or hauled away.
- A last mow, if the season allows.

## The 7 things that set the price

1. Yard size, and how much of it is lawn vs beds.
2. Leaf load: how many trees, and whether the neighbors' leaves blow in.
3. Timing: one visit after the trees are bare, or two visits.
4. Disposal: bagged at the curb for the City's weeks, or hauled away.
5. Bag count. Framingham takes paper bags or marked containers only, up to 40 pounds and 35 gallons each, and wet leaves hit 40 pounds fast.
6. Brush. Curbside brush must be cut to 4 inches by 4 feet and tied with string or twine.
7. Access: slopes, fences and gates slow the work down.

## How to get a quote that holds

Send a few photos of the whole yard, the beds and the trees, and say whether you want the leaves bagged for the City or taken away. With that, a quote is close to the final bill.

> Gutters fill at the same time as the beds. If they need cleaning, ask about them in the same call.
