Vailsburg · Newark NJ neighborhood · $50/hr per person

Vailsburg — lawns, gutters, and basements off South Orange Ave.

The blocks running south off South Orange Avenue between Sanford and Mount Vernon are Vailsburg — two-family wood-frames, brick capes, full driveways, real grass yards. The work here is suburban-pattern: regular lawn care, fall gutter cleans, and basement cleanouts when a tenant moves out.

Job pattern

What Vailsburg jobs look like.

Vailsburg jobs lean toward repeat lawn care plus seasonal extras. We'll do the spring cleanup, the every-2-week summer cut, the fall gutter, and the December basement clean — same family, same crew, same flat rate. Most yards run 2,000–4,000 sq ft and finish in 60–90 minutes.

Two-family wood-frames on 35-foot lots, brick capes and bungalows, full driveways and small detached garages.

Full driveway access on virtually every block. No permit issues. South Orange Avenue is busy but we stage on the side streets.

Vailsburg questions

Common Vailsburg questions.

Do you do biweekly lawn care in Vailsburg?

Yes. We schedule a recurring slot — usually Tuesday or Thursday morning — and bill at the same $50/hr per person. Most yards take one crew 60 minutes including blow-down. No contract, you can cancel any time.

How much does a basement cleanout run on Stuyvesant Avenue?

Most two-family basements run 3–4 hours for two crew — call it $300–400 in labor plus the dump fee (usually $40–80 depending on volume). If there's appliance disposal we add the certified-disposal fee for fridges/freezers.

Will you haul the dead branches from the storm last week?

Yes. We cut anything under 6 inches in diameter with a battery saw, bundle it, and haul it to the transfer station. Anything bigger we recommend a tree-care company because of the rope work and the chipper.

Can you do gutter work on a two-story Vailsburg cape?

Yes — most two-story Vailsburg homes top out at 22 feet at the eave, which is in range for our 28-foot extension ladder. We hand-clean the gutters, flush them with a hose, and check the downspout flow.
