Berkeley has many older brown-shingle and craftsman houses, small apartment buildings near the UC Berkeley campus, and hill homes with steps up from the street.
Homes in the Berkeley Hills are in a high fire-hazard area, so clearing brush and keeping vegetation trimmed near the house is a common job.

Questions about yard cleanup in Berkeley
How much does yard cleanup cost?
It depends on size, how overgrown it is and how much needs hauling away. The pro confirms the price with you before starting.
What does yard cleanup include?
Usually weeding, trimming, raking, clearing debris and hauling green waste. Agree the list up front.
When should I do yard cleanup?
In the Bay Area, late fall after leaves drop and early spring after the rains are the busiest times. Clearing dry brush before summer helps with fire safety.
How often should yard maintenance be done?
Many yards need light care every week or two in spring, and less in late summer.
What happens to the green waste in Berkeley?
Most Bay Area cities collect yard trimmings in a green cart. If there is more than fits, the pro can haul the rest away. Say which you prefer.
