Overgrown Yard & Property Cleanup in Kennesaw, GA
We cut it and we haul it. One crew, one invoice.
A landscaping crew will cut everything down and leave it in a pile at the curb. A junk removal company will take a pile away but will not touch anything still growing. So you book two companies, pay two trip charges, meet two minimums, and coordinate the timing yourself.
We do both with the same crew on the same day, because 2MT Services is a landscaping company and a junk removal company. That is the whole reason this page exists.
What a cleanup costs
Our minimum for a cleanup is $150. That covers getting a crew and a truck to your property and doing something useful once we are there. Most jobs come in above it. The real number depends on how big the area is, how far gone it is, and how much is leaving in the truck — and you get it in writing, itemized, before anything starts.
Published metro Atlanta ranges, so you can sanity-check any quote:

| 1/4 acre | $220 – $400 |
| 1/2 acre | $420 – $700 |

Market data across metro Atlanta, not our quote. Seasonal cleanups typically run $100–$300 in spring and $200–$600 in fall.
The hauling is where the second bill usually appears
If you hire separately, expect roughly $130–$205 for a quarter truckload, $205–$405 for a half, and $605–$805 for a full 13–17 cubic yard load, plus landfill charges of $50–$100 a ton. When we do the cutting and the hauling together, you are paying for one crew to show up instead of two.
What this actually looks like
This backyard had steps and a handrail under it. You could not see either. The same crew cut it back, cleared the treads and hauled everything out.
How bad is it? Three honest tiers
Knee-high and shaggy
Beds lost under weeds, grass well past mowing height, a season of leaves. Usually a half day. Straightforward.
Waist-high, a year or two gone
Brambles, vines into the fence line, volunteer saplings an inch thick, beds you can no longer find the edge of. A full day or more, and a real truckload leaving. This is the most common call we get.
Saplings, thickets, genuine reclamation
Trees established where they should not be, undergrowth you cannot walk through. At this point some of it stops being yard cleanup and becomes clearing, and occasionally there is a tree that needs a tree company rather than us. We will tell you that straight rather than quoting you for something we should not be doing.
When there is a deadline
Most cleanup calls have a clock on them, and it is usually one of these:
- A code enforcement or HOA letter with a date on it. Bring us the letter — it tells us exactly what has to be gone and by when, and we will work to that date.
- A closing. The property has to present, or the buyer’s inspection is next week.
- A tenant moving in and the yard has been neglected between occupancies.
- Storm damage. Limbs and debris down, and it needs to be gone now.
- A family property that nobody has been able to keep up with, sometimes after a death or a move into care. These are often more than yard work and we handle them without making it awkward.
What is included
- Cutting back overgrowth, brambles, vines and volunteer growth
- Clearing and re-edging beds so they read as beds again
- Leaves, storm debris and fallen limbs
- Bush and shrub removal, including roots where they need to come out
- Stump grinding where something has already been cut
- All of it loaded and hauled away, not stacked at your curb
- Mulch or pine straw afterwards if you want the beds finished rather than just cleared
Finishing the beds, not just clearing them
Clearing is where most companies stop. If you want the front of the house to actually look done, we edge the beds and top them with mulch or pine straw in the same visit.
After the cleanup
A cleared yard goes back the other way in a season if nothing changes. Plenty of our cleanup customers move onto weekly or biweekly maintenance afterwards, which is a much smaller number than doing this again next year. No obligation, and we will say so if we think you genuinely do not need it.
Questions we get asked
How much does it cost to clean up an overgrown yard?
Our minimum is $150. Beyond that, most residential cleanups in this area land between $200 and $600, with quarter-acre lots typically $220–$400 and half-acre lots $420–$700. Heavily overgrown properties and full-acre lots go higher. You get a firm written number before we start.
Do you haul the debris away or leave it at the curb?
We haul it. Every time, in our own truck, included in the quote.
How quickly can you start?
Usually within the same week. If you are working to a code enforcement or closing date, tell us the date when you call.
Do you take on properties that have been neglected for years?
Yes. That is most of this work. Nothing you show us will be a surprise.
Can you do the cleanup and then keep it maintained?
Yes — weekly and biweekly maintenance, and seasonal cleanups in spring and fall.
Do you do storm debris?
Yes, including limbs and downed material. Call rather than filling in the form if it is urgent.
