Leaf Cleanup Cost in Collin County (Fall 2026)

A North Texas front yard covered in fallen oak and pecan leaves, the kind of fall load Collin County streets get at once.

How much does leaf cleanup cost in Collin County?

A typical Collin County leaf cleanup lands around $150 to $400 per visit for a normal residential yard, with heavier oak-and-pecan lots running higher. That local band sits on top of two public 2026 snapshots:

  • LawnStarter (national, 2026): about $160 to $290 for a standard quarter-acre, with a typical visit near $170 and a common $80 minimum.
  • Angi Dallas (2026 data): $128 to $429 for a standard home, averaging $275. A quarter-acre in Dallas is quoted at $185 to $260. A one-time sweep is listed at $210 to $880; a monthly contract at $310 to $930 per year.

McKinney, Allen, Plano, Frisco, and Prosper share the same fall problem, so use Dallas-metro figures as the closest published set - then expect your number to move with tree cover, not with the city limit sign.

The heavy fall drop is pecans, late October into mid-November, not one weekend. Live oaks shed in late winter, not with that pecan dump. The month-by-month split is in when to schedule leaf cleanup in North Texas. Publishing this cost guide in late August is still the right lead time: crews book up once the first cold front strips the pecans.

Why Collin County leaves are a different job

This is not a light maple dusting.

Collin County is USDA zone 8b. The canopy that matters here is pecan, red oak, and live oak, plus crape myrtle litter in older Plano streets. Pecans and many deciduous oaks drop late and heavy. Live oaks mostly wait until late winter. One mature pecan can bury a front yard in a weekend. A Trinity Falls new-build with three young trees is a different afternoon than a Willow Bend lot under a 40-year oak canopy.

That is why two houses on the same McKinney street can get quotes $200 apart. The crew is pricing volume and wet weight, not ZIP code. Wet Texas oak leaves after a fall storm are slower to blow and slower to bag. Angi notes vacuuming in the Dallas market at $45 to $65 per hour versus blowing at $20 to $50, which is the wet-leaf premium in hourly form. The other hidden driver is what it costs the crew to haul your leaves to the dump - the operator's side of the leaf-cleanup quote breaks that down if you want to know where your money goes.

Leaves left in place smother Bermuda and St. Augustine, hold moisture against the crown, and wash into the same gutters the next storm. Gutter cleaning and leaf cleanup are the same seasonal pile, split across two invoices if you hire them separately.

One-off sweep vs. a seasonal route

There are two honest ways to buy this.

One-off (the big weekend). One crew, one haul-away, usually after the heaviest drop. Angi Dallas puts that single visit at $210 to $880. Fine if you have few trees or you only care about the week of Thanksgiving photos. Weak if pecans keep falling for six more weeks and you pay for a second "one-off."

Seasonal / monthly through the drop. A lower price per visit, a higher total, and a yard that does not crust over between storms. Angi Dallas monthly contracts run $310 to $930 a year. LawnStarter's national seasonal band is $150 to $500 for an annual contract versus $200 to $850 for a one-time visit. The contract wins on per-visit cost. The one-off wins only if one visit actually finishes the job.

On a Collin street, the seasonal version is also the one that bundles. Whole phases in Prosper or Trinity Falls drop in the same two weeks. A crew that already has Thursday on your cul-de-sac is not charging five families five separate drive-outs.

What BlockBundle can quote today

Leaf cleanup is now live nationwide, including Collin County. Enter your address at /quote?category=leaves, add a few photos of the leaf cover, and local crews send you a price to compare. There is no instant number here on purpose - a fair leaf price depends on what is actually on the ground (wet oak, pecan volume, how many bags haul off), not just lot size, so a crew prices it by hand from your photos and the satellite-traced yard. It is one visit and one payment, not a subscription.

If you are already pricing weekly mowing, start with lawn mowing cost in McKinney or the McKinney lawn-care page. A crew on a dense lawn route in October is the same crew that can take the leaf load without a second trip across the county. Not in McKinney? Lawn care is live in Plano, Frisco, Allen, Prosper, and Trinity Falls too.

You book your own home. You do not organize the block. If several neighbors on the same street want the same fall cleanup, the drive and the dump run get cheaper to serve - the same route logic as a Saturday mow.
