What moves the price
- Size of the area needing service — a larger garden or driveway takes longer to blow, rake and bag.
- Volume of leaves — heavy leaf fall under big trees means more bags or van loads to take away.
- Complexity of the job — leaves caught in borders, gravel or gutters take longer to clear than an open lawn.
- Condition of the garden — wet, rotting leaves left for weeks are heavier and slower to clear than fresh ones.
- Gutters and paths included — clearing gutters and paths adds ladder work and time to the leaf clearing visit.
- Seasonal or occasional visits — regular visits through the autumn keep each leaf clearing short, while a rare clear-up takes longer.
Domestic services and household services prices in Ireland are up 11% over five years (CSO Consumer Price Index, Domestic services and household services, to 2025 December). Five years ago a typical leaf clearing would have cost about €65 — an estimate from today's guide price and that index, not a recorded price. Source: CSO CPM18, CPM12 →

How to pay less
- Booking regular visits through the autumn keeps each clear-up quick, which costs less than clearing a deep build-up.
- Keeping the leaves for leaf mould or mulch in your garden saves paying to have them taken away.
- Clearing gutters and paths in the same visit as the garden saves paying for separate call-outs.
- Raking the lawn yourself and booking help only for gutters or large areas keeps the leaf clearing visit shorter.
Before you book
- Clear access to all areas of the garden and outdoor spaces.
- Any specific instructions regarding disposal preferences for the leaves.
- Access to water sources if needed for cleaning tools.
- Information about any underlying plants that should be protected during clearing.
- You can ask the provider how the cleared leaves will be disposed of, and whether they follow any local rules on garden waste.
