Garden Soon is available for yard cleanup in Baden, Beaver County at $175–$400 / $200–$500 per service. Mix of older borough-era homes on standard lots and a handful of larger properties toward the edges of town. That's the context every cleanup here starts from.
The case for hiring this out comes down to scale and timing. In a suburban Pittsburgh yard with two or three mature oaks, you're not dealing with a manageable leaf problem — you're dealing with what can be four or five inches of wet, matted leaves by mid-November. Mulch-mowing that is not an option. Bagging it by hand takes a full day for one person, assuming the bags don't keep tearing. We come with a truck, a trailer, blowers, and a crew that does this every week across dozens of properties. We move fast because we do it constantly. The timing issue is real too. There's a narrow window in fall after peak drop but before the ground freezes where cleanup is effective. Miss it and you're doing it in the cold or leaving the mat on through winter. In spring, every week of delay between snowmelt and cleanup is another week of smothering. Lawns that don't get cleaned up on time come out of winter thin, patchy, and vulnerable to crabgrass and weeds. We've seen the before and after enough times to know that the cleanup is almost always worth it.
For Baden specifically: mix of older borough-era homes on standard lots and a handful of larger properties toward the edges of town. Mature tree cover is common, especially in the older sections. Leaf volume in fall is a recurring maintenance factor for most properties here.
Spring cleanups emphasize debris removal from winter — matted leaves, dead annual stalks, ornamental grass cutback, and bed edging to redefine borders after the freeze-thaw season. Fall cleanups are primarily about leaf volume management — bagging or mulch-mowing turf leaves, clearing beds, cutting back spent perennials, and edging. Spring cleanup is about uncovering the lawn. Fall cleanup is about protecting it going into winter.
Spring cleanup sequence: We walk the property first to assess debris load and note any areas where matting is severe. Then we blow out all beds, window wells, and corners where leaves have packed in over winter. We pull dead annual stalks and cut back ornamental grasses. We run a blade edger along all bed borders. Sticks and branch debris go into the trailer. Remaining leaf material is either mulch-mowed or bagged depending on volume. Final blowdown of hard surfaces and we're done.
Fall cleanup sequence: We start with a blower pass to move leaves off beds and turf edges to the center of open lawn areas. If the leaf layer is thin — under an inch or so — we mulch-mow it into the turf. If it's heavier, we bag it or load the trailer directly. Beds get raked out, spent perennial stems get cut back, and we run the edger along bed lines. Final pass with blowers to clean driveways and walkways. Leaf bags are left at the curb for municipal pickup or hauled if the customer needs it.
Spring cleanup starts at $175 for a smaller lot with modest debris and goes to $400 or more for larger properties with heavy winter accumulation, lots of ornamental beds, or significant stick debris from storms. Fall cleanup for a single visit runs $200–$500 depending on lot size and leaf volume — a yard with three mature oaks in a river valley neighborhood costs more than a newer subdivision lot with young trees. Haul-away is included in the price when we need the trailer; customers on streets with municipal leaf pickup don't need it and that keeps costs down. Two-visit fall cleanups — one after the main drop, one after the oaks finish — run $350–$700 for the pair depending on property size. Bed edging as a standalone service is $85–$175 depending on linear footage. Heavy leaf accumulation on a large wooded lot can push fall cleanup above $500 — we'll tell you the range before we start.

Relatively flat along the river corridor with a modest rise toward the back of the borough. Most lots are workable with standard riding equipment. A few properties on the upper streets have enough grade to require walk-behind mowing on one side. We adjust our equipment and approach based on what's actually there.
Spring cleanup is about uncovering the lawn after winter — removing matted leaves, dead stems, sticks, and debris that accumulated over the cold months, plus cutting back ornamental grasses and re-edging beds. Fall cleanup is primarily a leaf volume problem — getting heavy accumulation off the turf before it smothers the grass going into winter, cleaning out beds, and cutting back spent perennials. Both visits include bed edging and blowdown of hard surfaces, but the work and the timing are different for each.
The best window is after the main leaf drop but before a hard freeze sets in — in western PA that's typically late October through mid-November for most neighborhoods. Because oaks hold their leaves later than other trees, many of our customers do two visits: one after the main drop from maples and sycamores, and a second after the oaks finish. Waiting until every leaf is down often means waiting too long, and doing it too early means you'll have a second layer come down right after.
Yes, haul-away is included when we bring the trailer — we load leaves and debris and remove them from the property. If your municipality offers leaf bag pickup at the curb, we can bag and leave them there instead, which keeps the cost a little lower since we don't need to make a dump run. We'll ask about your municipal service when you schedule so we plan the job correctly.
A cleanup resets how a yard looks, but the underlying turf condition going into winter — or coming out of it — depends on what happened in the soil all season. Compacted clay, missed grub control, and unaddressed pH issues show up in spring as thin patches and slow green-up that seasonal cleanup can't fix. A lawn care program addresses those causes across the growing season, so the next cleanup starts with turf that's actually in good shape to begin with.
We offer the following additional services in Baden — most customers who do seasonal cleanup eventually add one or more of these:
Year-round turf health — fertilization, weed control, grub prevention, and winterizer timed to the western PA growing season.
Weekly or biweekly mowing with edge trimming and blowdown. We cut at the right height for cool-season turf and adjust for growth rate.
One-time reclamation for neglected or jungle properties. We bring equipment rated for heavy material and haul everything out.
Family- and pet-safe perimeter spray applied around the home exterior — foundation band, entry points, and window frames.
Vegetable garden design, site assessment, planting plans, and seasonal coaching.
