We handle yard cleanup in Patterson Township, Beaver County — $175–$400 / $200–$500 depending on lot size, tree count, and debris volume. Mix of established mid-century suburban development and more recent residential growth. 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 Patterson Township specifically: mix of established mid-century suburban development and more recent residential growth. The township's position between Beaver Falls and New Brighton means it has a blend of properties from different eras. Lot sizes range from traditional suburban to larger rural-residential.
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.

Rolling terrain above the Beaver River valley. Most residential lots in the suburban sections are manageable with standard equipment. Properties at the township's rural edges have more pronounced terrain and larger areas to maintain. The combination of suburban and rural character means a wide range of lot types and maintenance needs. We adjust our equipment and approach based on what's actually there.
Yes, bed cleanup and edging are included in our standard cleanup visits — they're not an add-on you have to request separately. We rake beds clear, remove spent stems, and run a blade or stick edger along all bed borders. Edging is often the single thing that makes the biggest visual difference on a property, and we do it as part of every cleanup. If you want bed edging as a standalone service without a full cleanup, we can do that too for $85–$175 depending on the linear footage.
Yes, and it's more important, not less, if the fall cleanup didn't happen. Leaves that sat on the lawn all winter form a mat that can smother turf and create dead patches that need recovery work in spring. Spring cleanup in that situation often involves more debris, heavier matting, and more ground-level work to uncover the lawn. We'll assess the damage when we arrive and let you know if there are any areas that look like they'll need extra attention beyond the cleanup itself.
A heavy leaf mat on the lawn over winter smothers the grass underneath — blocking light, trapping moisture, and creating conditions where turf crowns die off. When the mat finally comes off in spring, the lawn often has thin or dead patches where the coverage was thickest, typically along fence lines, under tree canopies, and in low areas where leaves collect. Those patches are then vulnerable to weed and crabgrass pressure when the growing season starts. In western PA where oak leaves persist late and can pile deep, this isn't a theoretical problem — we see the damage every spring.
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 Patterson Township — 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.
