Pricing guide
Costs vary mainly with site condition, whether the landscaper handles disposal, and if minor repairs or partial replacements are required. Poorly maintained or overgrown sites and jobs that include contractor disposal or extra loading time are typically more expensive. Timing (call-outs or after-hours attendance) and any required specialist removal also influence final quotes.
Disposal and green waste handling
When the contractor removes and disposes of green waste, the job usually requires extra labour and transport time for trailers, skips or transfer station runs.
Site condition and vegetation density
Overgrown or poor-condition sites generally need more clearing time and handling, which can move the job into a higher band.
Minor repairs and partial replacements
Including small repairs, paver replacement or edging increases the time on site and the materials required compared with a basic tidy-up.
Need for specialist removal
Large woody waste, stump work or major tree removal is often out of scope for a tidy-up and usually requires a separate quote or subcontractor.
Call-out timing and access
Initial call-outs, difficult site access or after-hours attendance typically extend labour time and are reflected in higher rates.
Estimated range
$805 – $2,485
Default scope: Medium (typical suburban backyard)
