Yard Cleanup in Columbia SC — Spring, Fall & Storm Debris Services

A full yard cleanup includes leaf removal from all lawn and bed areas, clearing dead plant material, pulling or cutting back spent perennials, removing storm debris (fallen branches, downed limbs), blowing out gutters at ground level, edging all beds and walkways, and hauling everything off-site. We leave the property move-in ready. This is not a mow-and-go visit — it is a comprehensive reset of the outdoor space.

Spring cleanup (March): clear winter debris, cut back dormant ornamental grasses, remove dead annuals, prep beds for mulching. Fall cleanup (October–December): leaf removal (plan for 2–3 passes with Columbia’s oaks), gutter clearing, bed prep for winter. Post-storm cleanup: after ice storms, hurricanes, or severe thunderstorms that drop branches and debris. Many Columbia properties need both spring and fall cleanup to stay maintained year-round.

Columbia’s mature tree canopy — especially water oaks, live oaks, and sweet gums — drops leaves from October through January. One cleanup in October misses half the season. We recommend a minimum of two passes: late October for the first wave and mid-December after the oaks finish. Properties in neighborhoods like Shandon, Rosewood, and Forest Acres with dense canopy often need a third pass in January. We haul all debris off-site so you do not have to manage piles.

Light cleanup (scattered debris, no hauling): $100–$200. Standard cleanup (full property, 1 truck load of debris): $250–$450. Heavy cleanup (mature trees, multiple loads, extensive bed work): $400–$700. Recurring seasonal contracts (spring + fall, 3–4 visits): 15–20% per-visit discount vs. one-time calls. Storm damage cleanup is priced by scope after assessment. We provide exact quotes after a site visit or property photos.

The math is straightforward: a full cleanup that takes a homeowner an entire weekend takes a two-person crew 3–5 hours. We bring commercial blowers, a chipper for branches, and a dump trailer for haul-away. No trips to the landfill, no renting equipment, no yard waste bags. The result is a property that looks intentionally maintained, not just tidied up. We serve the entire Columbia metro — call (839) 250-1959 to schedule.
