Yard Debris and Brush Removal in Virginia

After a weekend of raking and pruning, the bags and brush pile up faster than the regular pickup can take them. We load the bags and bundles and haul them off.

What this pickup covers

Autumn in this part of Virginia means oak and maple leaves by the bagful, and every windy week drops more branches across the yard. Once the work is done, the leftovers sit at the curb or near the back of the yard for weeks. Yard debris removal clears them in one trip.

We pick up paper and plastic yard bags, bundles of cut branches and loose brush piles, and load them by hand. Branches that are already on the ground or cut to a length we can carry are ideal. When the pile is gone, we rake up the loose bits left behind on the grass or driveway.

What we load

  • Paper and plastic bags of leaves
  • Bundles of cut branches and prunings
  • Loose brush and vine piles
  • Fallen limbs already on the ground
  • Old planters and broken garden furniture
  • A quick rake of the spot where the pile sat

How the visit goes

  1. Show us the piles

    Tell us where the bags and bundles are: curb, driveway or back yard.

  2. Load by hand

    Bags go in whole, branches are stacked flat in the truck to save space.

  3. Rake the spot

    We rake up the loose leaves and twigs left on the grass or driveway.

Getting ready

  • Bag loose leaves when you can, or rake them into one pile
  • Keep branches to lengths that two people can carry
  • Tell us if the pile is behind a gate or down a slope
  • Move cars so the truck can park close to the pile

Homes and buildings we know

Mature oaks and maples shade many streets across Henrico County and nearby Chesterfield County, which means late October through December is our busiest time for yard bags. Spring cleanups bring the second wave.

Bags and bundles are easiest to load when they sit together in one spot near the driveway, but we can carry them from wherever they are. If you are planning a big weekend of raking or pruning, you can book the pickup ahead for the following week. That way the bags spend as little time on the lawn as possible, and the curb is clear again soon after the work is done. Spring cleanups work the same way.

Questions about yard debris and brush

Do the leaves have to be bagged?

Bagged leaves load fastest, but loose piles are fine too. We bring rakes and load them by hand.

Can you pick up from the back yard?

Yes. We carry bags and bundles from the back yard to the truck, as long as there is a gate or path wide enough.

How long can the branches be?

Branches that two people can carry are fine. Very long limbs may need to be cut shorter before the visit.

Do you come every week?

We book visits one at a time. Many people call us after each big round of raking in the fall.
