Well, I don't know! Now I can't remember what I paid him last time.

So, I live on a city block. I have a decent sized yard, but I'd say less than an acre for the front and back. There's not much to rake in the front, mainly it's the backyard with the heavy leaves (larger area). I know it takes ME a really long time to rake, but he usually brings another guy or two and does jobs really fast.

I know this must really vary from area to area, but what seems a reasonable range to you?

Thanks in advance!!
