Landscaping "demolition"- costs vary during time of year?

[Anonymous]

Hello, could use some help from more seasoned SFH owners since we have always lived in THs and are moving.

The home we picked has way more shrubbery and bushes and general greenery landscaping than we would like to maintain. We are already going forward with the plans to kill and remove the ivy from the rear side of the house since its just never been my style but the rest of the stuff will probably require more people/ pros to help pull out bushes, small trees, shrubs, etc.

Its just way too much for our taste or our desire to maintain. There is half a stone walkway that we will probably try to pull up ourselves too.

Do landscape companies generally charge less as summer ends or in fall - or are they usually the same year round? Are there general guidelines for rates for removing landscaping?

We are going to try to do grass where we can and assess what can and can't grow grass the next year and go from there regarding mulch, plants, stones, etc.
