    What a cleanup covers

    From jungle to usable, with nothing left behind.

    • Overgrowth. Vines, bamboo, brush and privet cut back or cleared out.
    • Leaf removal. Fall leaves raked, blown and hauled.
    • Storm debris. Downed limbs and branches cleared fast. We bring in a tree partner for larger removals.
    • Bed reset. Dead plants out, beds edged, ready for mulch.
    • Haul away. Everything leaves on our trailer.
    • Move-in cleanups. New house, inherited yard. We get it to zero.
    "I've mowed thousands of yards. And cleanups are kind of my go-to. I've done probably a thousand of those."Grant Wallace, owner

    Zach and Carlos lead our cleanup crews. They show up with the trailer, the saws and the plan, and most cleanups are done in a day.

    The estimate walk

    What we check before we quote a cleanup.

    What stays and what goes.

    Walk it with us and point. A cleanup that keeps the azaleas and loses the privet is a different job than clearing to the fence.

    Volume.

    How many trailer loads. That is most of the price, so we estimate it honestly on site.

    Access for the trailer.

    Where we can park, how far the debris has to be carried, whether the side gate is wide enough for a wheelbarrow.

    What is under it.

    Overgrowth hides stumps, old fences, buried pavers and drainage problems. We look before we quote so the number holds.

    What to expect

    What a cleanup day is like.

    Zach or Carlos shows up with a crew, a trailer and the saws. They confirm the stay and go list with you, then start at the back and work forward.

    Most cleanups finish in a day. Big ones take two. Everything leaves on our trailer, so there is no pile at the curb waiting for the city.

    At the end we walk it with you. The yard is cleared, the beds are edged, and you can finally see the ground. That is usually when people start planning what to do with it.

    East Atlanta specifics

    What we clear most in East Atlanta.

    Privet and ivy

    The two things that eat an East Atlanta backyard. We cut privet low and grind or treat the stumps so it does not come straight back.

    Bamboo

    Running bamboo along a fence line needs cutting, root barrier and a plan, or it is back in a season. We tell you the honest version.

    Leaf season

    October through December the oaks bury Grant Park and Kirkwood yards. Book early. Our fall calendar fills with cleanups.

    What neighbors say about cleanups.

    ★★★★★
    LOVED working with Grantlanta. I worked with Zach B to get a huge, overgrown swath of my backyard fully cleared. Zach was diligent about communicating and scheduling, and was kind and knowledgeable. Grant himself also assisted in the clearing and hauling, which I really appreciated. All in all, an excellent experience and I’m excited to keep working with them in the future.

    Perfect service. Called about getting the yard cleared and areas mulched on Friday, they came out the same day. Mulch arrived earlier than expected and they came out to meet it and in half a day had everything looking perfect. Even put back my daughter's fairy garden. Worked with me on a fair price and just solid people all around.

    Cleanup questions.

    How fast can you come out?

    Most cleanups are scheduled within the week, storm debris sooner. Spring and fall fill up, so the earlier you call the better.

    Do you haul everything away?

    Yes. Haul-away is part of every cleanup estimate. Nothing is left at the curb.

    Do you remove trees?

    We clear storm debris, downed limbs and overgrowth, and we can bring in a tree partner for larger removals. Call us if you have storm damage.

    What does a yard cleanup cost?

    It depends on how much has to leave, so we quote in person and the estimate is free. We will tell you how many loads we expect.

    Will the privet grow back?

    Cut alone, yes. We cut it low and deal with the stumps so it does not. Ask us about it on the walk.

    How do I pay?

    Installation projects take a deposit to get on the schedule, and the balance is due when the job is done. We accept credit and debit cards, ACH, Venmo and Zelle.
