What moves the price in Charleston
- Yard size (roughly $20-50 per 1,000 sq ft)

- Debris volume and disposal/haul-away fees

Licensing and permits in West Virginia
Yard cleanup crews generally don't need a trade license in the US or Canada (it's landscaping labor, not a regulated trade); confirm the company carries general liability insurance, and ask separately about certification if the job includes pesticide/herbicide application or tree removal, which some states/provinces do regulate.
West Virginia has no single statewide permitting office - residential building permits are issued locally by city building departments (e.g. Charleston, Huntington, Morgantown) or, outside municipal limits, by the county building/planning office; code adoption and enforcement is optional for counties, so not every county actively enforces or permits. In Charleston, permits come from the City of Charleston Building Commission (Permit Office), 915 Quarrier St Suite 5, Charleston, WV 25301.
Tax: West Virginia taxes services by default: labor on home repair, remodeling, and maintenance is generally taxable, EXCEPT when the work qualifies as a "capital improvement" (an addition/alteration that substantially adds value or appreciably prolongs the property's useful life) to real property, which is exempt per WV Tax Division TSD-310 - ask any contractor whether they're billing the job as a capital improvement or a taxable repair/maintenance service.
Best time to book in Charleston
Fall (Sept-Nov) is the most expensive and highest-demand window because most yards need leaf removal in the same 4-6 week stretch; spring (Apr-May) is a secondary, lighter-demand peak. Booking in late August/early September lands a spot on a crew's fall list before the rush, often at better rates. Peak demand: April, May, September, October and November. Typical job length: 2-6 hours for a standard residential visit; full-acre or heavily overgrown lots can run a full day.
DIY or pro? Light raking and bagging on a small, well-kept lawn is reasonable DIY; hire a crew for large lots, heavy leaf/debris volume, gutter clearing, or an overgrown yard that's gone untouched for a season.
