Get an estimateRaleigh lawn care from mowing to the final cleanup
YardU’s lawn care and mowing package covers the cut and the details around it. It combines mowing, edging, weed trimming, and blowing off surfaces in one agreed scope.
Tell the team about your grass condition, slopes, shade, fenced sections, and edges along walks or planting beds. For ongoing maintenance or a first visit, YardU will confirm the included areas, access, frequency, price, and schedule for your address.

Landscaping and outdoor improvements
A lawn visit and a landscape project call for different planning. Choose the service that fits your goal and share photos so the team can discuss preparation, materials, and access.
Paver patios and retaining walls
Explore hardscaping for your outdoor space, including paver patios and retaining walls. The North Hills examples below show YardU work at real Raleigh properties.
Leaf removal and yard cleanup
Arrange leaf removal for accumulated leaves, or a broader yard cleanup. Describe the areas involved and confirm handling and removal in your estimate.
Drainage and seasonal care
Share standing-water concerns for yard drainage, discuss aeration and overseeding for your grass type, or request dates for Christmas light installation.
For additional needs, explore sod installation, pressure washing, and snow removal. YardU will confirm the scope and availability for each request.
Plan fall cleanup with Raleigh’s current leaf guidance
Raleigh replaced seasonal loose-leaf collection with weekly yard waste pickup on September 8, 2026. The city’s leaf collection options explain current preparation methods. Check the city’s waste preparation guidance for rules affecting contracted work.
Discuss removal and disposal with YardU when arranging leaf or property cleanup. Clearing clippings from a walk after mowing is different from handling existing leaf buildup across a property.
Local lawn planning and YardU’s mission
Grass type affects the care calendar. Use NC State Extension’s lawn maintenance calendars for your actual turf and bring any irrigation, shade, or access questions to YardU. The educational calendars cover care beyond the mowing package.
Founded by Jackson DeSilva, an NC State football alumnus, YardU helps young people learn work ethic, communication, and responsibility through property care. Read about Landscaping with a Purpose or read customer reviews on Google.

Block retaining walls frame a North Hills front entry
A sloping front lawn and planting beds became a more defined entrance, with red block retaining walls on both sides of the porch steps.
The photos show staggered rows of blocks following the changing height of the yard. The walls trace the planting beds beside the existing walk and steps, giving the lawn and front garden a clear boundary. The red blocks also pick up the color of the porch’s brickwork.
Before: the original front yard. After: block retaining walls along the planting beds. Photos show different viewpoints of the same project.
Drag the divider or use the arrow keys to compare.
Plan the entrance as a whole
For a similar front-yard project, share photos of the slope, planting beds, driveway, and entry steps. Discuss wall placement, access, drainage needs, material options, and any site-specific requirements with YardU before agreeing on the scope.

From gravel base to patterned pavers in North Hills
This YardU before-and-after shows a patio taking shape beside a North Hills home. The gravel-base stage is followed by a finished surface of rectangular pavers in varied gray and warm brown tones.
The layout mixes paver sizes and follows the edge of the house, with fitted pieces around the outdoor air-conditioning unit. The finished pattern gives the space a cohesive look—a useful detail to consider when planning the connection between your home and an outdoor living area.
