Spring & Fall Yard Cleanups in New Castle County
A seasonal cleanup from Union Park Landscaping is a full reset for your yard: leaves removed, beds cut back and re-edged, shrubs pruned, debris hauled away, and fresh mulch down if you want it. One crew, one visit, and the yard looks cared-for again — usually in a single day.
We do spring cleanups that undo winter and prep beds for the growing season, and fall cleanups that clear leaves and put the yard to bed properly so spring starts easier.
Book a cleanup when…
- Leaves are smothering the lawn (they kill grass in weeks, not months)
- Bed edges have disappeared into the lawn
- Perennials are standing dead from last season
- Shrubs are shaggy and touching the house
- You're hosting soon and the yard is embarrassing you

Built for Delaware conditions
New Castle County's mature oaks and maples drop heavy leaf loads from late October through early December, and matted oak leaves are notorious for smothering fescue lawns over winter. We typically recommend one mid-fall and one late-fall visit for heavily treed lots in neighborhoods like Brandywine Hundred, Hockessin, and Greenville.
What it costs
Most cleanups in New Castle County run $300–$900 depending on lot size and leaf volume; heavily wooded properties run more. Quotes are free and fast.
Yard Cleanups questions, answered
How much does a yard cleanup cost in Delaware?
Most New Castle County cleanups run $300–$900. Small townhome yards can be less; heavily wooded half-acre lots with full leaf removal and mulch can exceed $1,200. We quote from photos or a quick visit, free.
When should I schedule a spring cleanup in Delaware?
March through early May is ideal — after the last hard freezes but before shrubs fully leaf out, which makes pruning and bed work cleaner. Popular weeks book out fast, so call in February or March.
Should leaves be removed or mulched into the lawn?
Light leaf cover can be mulch-mowed into the lawn and is good for it. Heavy cover — common under New Castle County's mature oaks — mats down, blocks light, and kills grass, so it needs removal. Most properties here need genuine removal at least once each fall.
Do you haul everything away?
Yes. All leaves, branches, and debris leave with our crew the same day. Nothing is left at your curb.
