Leaf Removal & Fall Cleanup in Metro Vancouver

Need leaf removal in Vancouver before the next downpour? We clear wet, heavy fall leaves from lawns, garden beds, driveways and gutters, then load every leaf into our own truck and haul it away. We do fall yard cleanup for homeowners, stratas and businesses across Greater Vancouver, from a single front yard to a full property.

Most landscapers stop at the rake. Most junk haulers stop at the truck. We do both, so one call and one visit cover the whole job.

What's included in our leaf removal service

Every leaf cleanup covers your lawn, garden beds, hard surfaces and gutters, and ends with a final sweep and the leaves driven away. Tell us what to keep, such as a layer of leaves as mulch in your beds, and we clear the rest.

Raking and leaf blowing

We rake and blow leaves off lawns, along fence lines and out from under shrubs and hedges. Wet, matted leaves are lifted by hand so the grass underneath gets sunlight and airflow again, with careful raking and controlled blowing around plants and fragile beds. We bring quieter battery and electric blowers. Leaf blowers can't be used in the West End at all (City of Vancouver, checked 11 November 2026), so there we rake by hand.

Garden beds, walkways, driveways, boulevards and sidewalks

We clear leaves out of garden beds without disturbing plants, then clean walkways, driveways, patios, decks and stairs. We also clear the boulevard and sidewalk in front of your home, and the leaves around catch basins and storm drains, so rainwater can drain away. We never rake or blow leaves into the street: in Vancouver that's a fineable offence under the Street and Traffic By-Law, with fines of up to $10,000 (City of Vancouver, checked 11 November 2026).

Gutter and eavestrough leaf cleaning

We scoop leaves out of gutters and eavestroughs on single and two-storey homes and check that the downspouts flow, so rain runs away from your foundation instead of over it.

Haul-away and other yard waste

Everything we collect goes straight into our truck. While we're there, we can take fallen branches, brush, twigs, grass clippings, hedge trimmings, weeds, old planters and any other yard waste you want gone. You do no heavy lifting, and the dump fees are included in your quote. For soil, sod and bulk green waste without raking, see yard waste removal.

When to book fall leaf cleanup in Vancouver

The City of Vancouver runs its extra leaf collection weekends from October to January, which tells you how long the leaf drop lasts. Book too early and the trees refill your lawn; wait too long and wet leaves smother the grass.

• One-time cleanup: one full visit, late in the season, before a move, or when getting a home ready to sell
• Recurring visits: weekly, every two weeks or every 2 to 3 weeks through the leaf drop, so leaves never pile up. Recurring visits cost less per visit than one-off cleanups.
• Final clear-out: one last visit once the trees are bare, a tidy-up before winter rain sets in

Yards with mature deciduous trees, such as big maples, oaks or chestnuts, usually need more than one visit a season.

The 3-Step Process

1. Send photos for a free quote

Call or text 604-348-7640, or request a quote online, with a few photos of your yard. We reply with a written quote.

2. Pick your day

Choose the day that suits you, 7 days a week from 7 AM to 8 PM, weekends included. Same-day leaf cleanup is available across Metro Vancouver.

3. We clean up and haul it away

Our crew rakes, blows, clears the gutters and sweeps every hard surface, then loads every leaf and drives it away. You pay the quoted price once the job is done.

City of Vancouver leaf pickup vs. hiring a leaf removal crew

The City of Vancouver collects extra leaves through its seasonal leaf collection program, but only on its extra leaf collection weekends, only in paper yard waste bags or store-bought bins of up to 100 litres, and only for residents with City green bin service. Plastic bags of any kind are refused, even ones labelled compostable or biodegradable. You still rake, bag and carry everything out before 7 AM on the Saturday, and keep track of the dates in the VanCollect app (City of Vancouver, checked 11 November 2026).

Hiring a crew makes sense when:

• You have more leaves than your green bin and a few paper bags can hold
• You missed your collection weekend, or don't want soggy bags sitting out for days
• You live in a strata, apartment or commercial building without City green bin service
• You'd rather not spend a wet Saturday raking

Why wet leaves shouldn't sit on your property

In Vancouver's rain, fallen leaves turn into a heavy, wet mat within days. Left alone, that mat causes problems that cost more to fix than the cleanup itself.

• Lawn damage and spring problems: compacted leaves block sunlight and airflow, so grass yellows over winter, and moss, fungus and dead patches appear in spring
• Slips and falls: wet leaves on stairs, walkways and parking lots are a real hazard, especially for stratas and businesses
• Flooding: leaves clog gutters, downspouts, catch basins and storm drains during heavy rain
• Pests and mould: damp piles shelter rodents and insects right next to your home

Where your leaves go

Leaves and other green waste go to composting facilities instead of the landfill, so your fall cleanup ends up as compost. If you'd like to keep some leaves as mulch for your garden beds, just tell the crew.

Leaf removal cost in Vancouver

Every leaf removal job gets a free written quote before we start. The price you agree to is the price you pay, with the dump fees included and no hidden fees.

Your quote depends on:

• Yard size and how many areas need clearing: lawn, beds, driveway, boulevard, gutters
• Leaf volume: how much space the leaves take up in our truck
• Wet or dry: soaked, matted leaves take longer to lift
• Access: gates, slopes, stairs, narrow side yards and parking
• Extras: gutter cleaning, or hauling other yard waste
• One-time or recurring: recurring visits cost less per visit
