We handle yard cleanup in Economy, Beaver County — $175–$400 / $200–$500 depending on lot size, tree count, and debris volume. Mix of historic character near the original settlement areas and mid-to-late 20th century suburban development on the hillside and plateau sections. Property character like that determines what each cleanup actually covers.
If you do cleanups in western PA long enough, you learn the tree calendar by feel. Norway maples go early — they're dropping by early October in a lot of Allegheny and Beaver County neighborhoods. Then the sycamores, which drop in stages and heavy. Maples peak in late October. Then you wait on the oaks. Red oaks and pin oaks in these river valley neighborhoods hold their leaves well into November, sometimes past Thanksgiving if it stays mild. That staggered drop is why a lot of our customers do two fall visits — one after the main drop and a second after the oaks finally let go. The Pittsburgh suburbs and river towns like Beaver Falls, Ambridge, and Ellwood City have neighborhoods where every yard has a 60-year-old oak or two. The leaf volume in those blocks is serious. On the spring side, we're usually targeting late March through mid-April in this region — before consistent soil temps climb past 50°F and before the pre-emergent window closes. Anyone who waits until May to do spring cleanup in western PA is already late.
For Economy specifically: mix of historic character near the original settlement areas and mid-to-late 20th century suburban development on the hillside and plateau sections. Lot sizes range from modest older parcels to larger suburban lots. The township's varied topography means no single property type or maintenance approach fits all.
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 typically runs $175–$400 for a standard suburban lot. Fall cleanup runs $200–$500 for a single visit. What drives variation: lot size, number of mature trees, how heavy the accumulation is, and whether we need to haul debris or can leave bags for municipal pickup.

Varied terrain — the township spans from Ohio River terrace to hillside and elevated plateau sections. River-corridor lots are mostly flat; properties on the elevated plateau can have meaningful grade changes. Lot sizes tend to be larger than the small borough properties down on the river. We adjust our equipment and approach based on what's actually there.
Yes, and we recommend it for most properties in our service area. Western PA has a staggered leaf drop — Norway maples and sycamores go in October, oaks often hold into November — and one cleanup rarely captures everything. Our two-visit fall cleanup runs $350–$700 for the pair depending on lot size and tree cover. The first visit handles the main volume after peak drop; the second comes back after the late-dropping oaks finish. It's a more complete approach and the lawn goes into winter in better shape.
No, these are different services. Yard cleanup covers seasonal debris — leaves, sticks, dead stems, bed cleanup, and edging. Overgrown lawn cleanup deals with grass that hasn't been mowed in weeks or months and requires a different process: stepdown mowing in stages, dethatching, and sometimes scalping before it can be maintained normally. If your property has both issues — tall grass and a debris mess — let us know when you call and we'll quote the full scope together.
Yes, stick and branch pickup is part of our standard cleanup scope. After winter ice storms or wind events, the debris load can be significant — we build it into the assessment when we price spring cleanups, and we can also do a standalone stick pickup if that's all you need after a specific storm. Heavy branch work that requires a chainsaw is outside our scope, but normal storm debris — sticks, small branches, broken limbs — is included.
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 Economy — 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.
