Garden Soon handles overgrown lawn cleanup in New Brighton, Beaver County — $350–$650 for most suburban lots, depending on size and neglect duration. Beaver River valley position provides slight moderation compared to inland Beaver County. When growing conditions accelerate seasonal growth, a manageable lawn can go genuinely overgrown fast — we walk every property before quoting.
Most people who call us for an overgrown cleanup aren't calling because they got lazy. They're calling because life got in the way. A parent passed away and left behind a property that sat through two growing seasons before anyone had the bandwidth to deal with it. A tenant moved out and the rental sat vacant longer than planned. A landscaper stopped showing up in July and by September the yard looked like a nature preserve. Someone had a health scare and spent the summer in and out of the hospital. A divorce dragged on and the house sat. We hear all of these situations regularly, and we don't treat any of them as unusual or embarrassing. Overgrown properties happen. The grass doesn't know what's going on in your life. What matters is that you're ready to get it back under control now, and we're set up to handle exactly this kind of job — the ones where a standard mow-and-go crew will take one look at the yard and say they can't help.
For New Brighton specifically: beaver River valley position provides slight moderation compared to inland Beaver County. First frost around mid-October; green-up in early-to-mid April. The hillside properties above the river experience more temperature variability and wind exposure than the protected low-lying sections.
Everything we cut comes with us when we leave. On an overgrown property, that's a significant volume of material — a badly neglected suburban lot can fill a trailer twice over before we're done. We rake and load throughout the job, not just at the end. We don't pile debris at the curb, leave it in the yard for you to deal with, or bag it for trash pickup. Our trailer hauls it out and disposes of it properly. Haul-away is part of what we quote, not an add-on.
Step 1 — Site assessment: Before any equipment starts, we walk the entire property looking for hazards buried in the vegetation. Rocks, stumps, drain covers, wire, old garden edging, hoses, toys — anything that can damage equipment or throw debris gets flagged or cleared by hand first. Step 2 — First pass at height: Using a brush mower or string trimmer, we knock the vegetation down from its full height. We set the deck as high as it will go. This is rough work. Step 3 — Staged cutting: We lower the deck in passes, working toward a usable finish height. On severely overgrown properties this may mean three or four height reductions across the day. Step 4 — Debris loading: As sections are cleared, cut material is raked and loaded into the trailer. This happens throughout the job, not just at the end. Step 5 — Detail work: Edges along structures, fences, and driveways get trimmed. Step 6 — Final pass and blow-down: We make a final mow at finish height, blow clippings off hard surfaces, and do a site walk to confirm the property is clean before we leave.
Pricing on overgrown cleanup jobs is driven by four main factors: how tall and dense the vegetation is, the size of the lot, how much debris volume needs to be loaded and hauled, and how many visits it will take to get the property to a finished state. A quarter- to half-acre suburban lot that's been neglected for one season typically runs $350–$650 for a single-visit reclamation with haul-away included. Properties that have been sitting two to three or more years — where we're dealing with established weeds, heavy thatch, and significant debris — more often need two visits. Those jobs typically run around $450 for the first visit and $275 for the follow-up, though the specifics vary. Larger lots, steep terrain, or properties with heavy invasive vegetation will push prices higher, sometimes to $700–$1,400 or above. We don't quote these jobs remotely. The difference between a $400 job and a $1,100 job is visible on-site, not over the phone. We do a free site look before we give you a number.

The borough spans from Beaver River terrace to hillside residential neighborhoods with significant elevation change. Steeper sections require walk-behind equipment. Street widths in the older hillside sections are narrow, and equipment maneuvering needs to be planned carefully. We adjust our equipment and approach based on what's actually there.
We load everything we cut and haul it off the property when we leave. On a badly overgrown half-acre, that can mean filling a trailer twice before we're done. We don't pile it at the curb or leave bags for trash pickup — debris removal is part of what we quote, and the property is clear when we're finished.
It depends on how long it's been neglected and what's underneath. Properties that sat one or two seasons usually have enough surviving turf that the lawn recovers reasonably well once light and airflow are restored. Properties that have been overgrown for several years often have significant bare soil exposed after the cleanup, and those areas will either need overseeding or will fill in with whatever germinates first — which is often weeds. We'll tell you honestly what we see when we do the site visit.
You don't need to be home during the work, but we do ask that someone is available for the initial site visit so we're looking at the same property and you understand exactly what we're quoting. If you have specific concerns — a gate code, areas to avoid, known hazards — those are easiest to communicate in person before we start.
When we clear an overgrown area — tall grass, dense brush, a property that's been sitting a season or two — we regularly find evidence of what was living in it. Ticks nest in leaf litter and tall grass. Ground wasps build colonies in undisturbed soil. Spiders take over dense vegetation, and rodents use thick ground cover for shelter. Once the habitat is gone, those populations don't disappear — they relocate toward the nearest structure. A perimeter barrier spray in the weeks after a major cleanup addresses that displacement directly.
Once a property is cleared and back to a manageable state, keeping it there is what regular mowing is for. Most properties coming out of an overgrown cleanup need two to three weeks before they can go on a standard mowing schedule — the ground needs to firm up and the remaining turf needs to stabilize. When that window passes, a consistent mowing schedule is what prevents the same situation from developing again.
Once the property is cleared, here's what we can take on in New Brighton for ongoing maintenance:
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.
Spring and fall cleanup — leaf removal, debris, bed edging, ornamental cutbacks, and disposal.
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.
