Forest Hill · Newark NJ neighborhood · $50/hr per person
Heller Parkway and the blocks running off it are the closest thing Newark has to a quiet leafy neighborhood. Mature oaks, brick colonials, real driveways, and a yearly leaf load that fills gutters faster than anywhere else in the city. Most Forest Hill jobs are seasonal: spring rinse, summer fence work, fall gutter and leaf, December prep.
Job pattern
Forest Hill jobs are bigger than Ironbound but simpler — full driveway access, no permit issues, and most yards run a single crew. Fall is our busiest Forest Hill season: oak and London-plane leaves fill 30 contractor bags a yard. Spring brings the deck rinse and the first lawn-edge clean.
Brick and stone colonials on 50-foot lots, full driveways, mature plantings, fenced back yards 80–100 feet deep.
Driveway access on every block. No permit zones. We stage on the driveway pad and load directly. Heller Parkway median makes for easy turnaround if a yard waste truck needs to drop bags.

Forest Hill questions
Either way. Newark sanitation picks up bagged leaves on the regular schedule — we can stack them at the curb. If you want them hauled same day, add hauling at booking and we take everything to the transfer station for an extra $30 dump fee.
A standard 80×30 yard takes 2 hours with one crew, 1 hour with two. Bigger lots (100+ ft) or yards with 5+ trees go 3–4 hours. We charge by the hour, so you only pay for actual time on site.
Yes. Most Heller Parkway brick is hard-fired and takes a 25-degree tip at 3,000 PSI without spalling. We pre-rinse the foundation plantings and post-rinse to dilute the soft-wash mildewcide.
Up to 8 feet, yes — we bring an extension hedge trimmer and a 6-foot ladder. Anything taller (privet hedges that have run wild for years) needs a tree-care company because of the chainsaw work and the haul.
