How do I price a leaf-clearance job?

Cost the crew time on site, blower/vac running cost and travel, then add green-waste disposal and your margin. Leaves are seasonal and repeat weekly through autumn — price one visit here, then set the visits to value the whole season.

Should I offer leaf clearance as a seasonal contract?

Yes — a block of weekly autumn visits is easier to schedule and far more profitable than one-off callouts. Set the visits per year to see what the seasonal round is worth.

What should you charge for leaf clearance?

Leaf clearance is a short, sharp autumn earner — if you price the disposal in. Put your site time, crew, blower cost and green-waste disposal in and get a defensible price with margin.

Margin is on the sell price, the way accountants mean it — a 30% margin, not a 30% markup on cost.
