Hey everyone! I just got a quote from a local landscaping company for $1000 to clean up my standard suburban yard, which mostly has some overgrown bushes and lots of weeds. This seems really high to me. What have you all been paying for similar work?

You also want to consider the quality of work you’re getting. If you want it done right and nicely finished, sometimes paying a bit more is worth it. Plus, if you're dealing with a complicated job, those pros handle it all in one go which is helpful. Just don’t forget to ask for pictures or more details if you're unsure!
It really depends on the specifics of your yard—how large it is, how overgrown it is, and what exactly needs doing. Some folks mentioned that they typically charge $100 an hour for two workers or more, plus disposal fees, which could easily make the price reasonable depending on the situation. Just remember to check other quotes for comparison before deciding!
For sure! It might be worth it to check what others offer in your area. If the scope of work is big, that $1000 could end up being a good deal.
Honestly, $1000 isn't that outrageous for professional landscaping, especially if you're hiring experienced workers. They usually include labor, disposal fees, and insurance costs in their pricing. If it’s a significant cleanup, that price might reflect all the work involved. If you feel it’s too high, getting a few more quotes or even trying to handle some of the simpler tasks yourself could also be options.
Yeah, I agree. You’d be surprised how quickly costs add up when you factor in everything the landscaper has to do. Plus, DIY can save you cash if you have the time!
That’s a solid point! A lot goes into professional work that we don’t see upfront. Better to invest than end up with a botched job!
