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

Weequahic — yards, gutters, and hauling around the park.

The blocks ringing Weequahic Park — Elizabeth Avenue, Lyons, Chancellor, Hawthorne — are mostly brick three-flats and pre-war wood-frames with mature trees. The work here is yard-heavy: heavy fall leaf loads from the park-side oaks, gutter cleans every season, and basement and garage cleanouts year-round.

Job pattern

What Weequahic jobs look like.

Weequahic's park-side trees mean fall here is a multi-truckload leaf job — most blocks need 30–60 bags a yard. Lyons and Chancellor have the heaviest leaf load. Three-flat basements off Bergen Street are usually deep cleanouts because the basement runs full-footprint and never gets touched between tenants.

Brick three-flats on 30-foot lots, pre-war wood-frames near Bergen Street, mature street trees on every block.

Most blocks have driveway access. Elizabeth Avenue is permit-only — we stage on the side streets. Lyons and Chancellor have meter parking near the park entrance.

Weequahic questions

Common Weequahic questions.

How many bags does a typical Weequahic Park-side yard fill in fall?

Most yards on Lyons or Chancellor fill 30–50 contractor bags per pickup in November. Yards with a single oak go higher — 60+ bags. We size the crew so it finishes in one visit.

Is there meter parking near Weequahic Park for your truck?

Yes — Elizabeth Avenue has meter pull-ins along the park edge that fit our cargo van. We pay the meter while we work; if it's a longer job we ask the homeowner to leave their driveway open.

Will you do a full three-flat basement cleanout?

Yes — that's 4–6 hours for two crew on a typical Weequahic three-flat. We sort by floor (top tenant's stuff vs. bottom tenant's stuff), bag the rest, and load the truck.

Can you trim the privet hedge along the property line?

Up to 8 feet with battery hedge trimmer and pole hedger. Anything older or taller (10+ feet of overgrown privet) is a chainsaw + tarp job — we can quote that as a separate visit.
