Fall cleanup costs in the GTA range from $149–$349+. Compare 2026 pricing, six cost factors, and DIY vs. professional service to plan your Toronto-area cleanup.
Real 2026 prices for fall cleanup in Toronto, North York, Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, and Scarborough — what drives the cost, what GTA companies charge, and what $149–$900+ gets you.
The final cost depends on lot size, tree count, debris volume, timing, and add-ons. A complete quote may include leaf removal, perennial cutbacks, a final mow, bed clearing, bagging, and curbside placement. Compare the scope, not only the price.

The main cost factors are lot size, tree count and species, debris volume and bag limits, cleanup timing, requested add-ons, and crew travel within the service area.
Typical ranges are $149–$275 in North York, $149–$349 in Vaughan, $225–$400 in Richmond Hill, $149–$299 in Markham, and $149–$349+ in Scarborough. Mature tree canopy and ravine-adjacent lots tend to fall at the high end.
DIY can cost $160–$475+ in the first year for a blower, rake, tarps, and bags, plus three to six hours for a standard home. Hiring a crew includes labour, equipment, bags, and curbside placement. DIY may cost less if you already own the equipment and enjoy the work; professional service becomes more attractive for large, tree-heavy properties or limited fall weekends.
Most GTA companies fill their October and November schedules by mid-September. Booking in early October gives you a better choice of dates and makes it easier to plan around late-dropping oak leaves or arrange a two-pass cleanup.
Flat-rate pricing tells you the full cost before work starts; hourly pricing can rise when a leaf-heavy property takes longer than expected.
Confirm leaf removal, bed clearing, final mowing, perennial cutbacks, bagging, and curbside placement so quotes are comparable.
Ask about bag limits and overage charges. Limits vary by property size and company.
A professional company should carry general liability insurance. Trim Gym carries $2 million in coverage.
Oak leaves often fall several weeks after maples, so ask whether another visit is available for properties with mature oaks.
