94% of homes in Westlake Village are detached single-family houses. Each has its own full run of gutters front and back, typically 150 to 200 feet by HomeGuide's count.
62.9% of homes here have four or more bedrooms (Winnebago County: 18.7%). That is the highest share of four-bedroom homes of the 39 places on this site with enough homes to compare. Bigger houses mean more linear feet of gutter, which is what per-foot pricing at $0.95 to $2.25 is based on.

Leaves and local rules
What happens to the leaves in Westlake Village
Can you burn the leaves? Winnebago County bans burning leaves and grass at all times in unincorporated subdivisions that sit within a mile of a town that bans it. Farther out, dry landscape waste may be burned only on weekends from April 15 to May 15 and on November weekends, between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m., at least 25 feet from any building or property line and never when the wind tops 10 mph. source
As an unincorporated community, Westlake Village falls under Winnebago County's rules rather than a village code, and under any covenants of its own subdivision.
One rule applies everywhere in Illinois: since 1990, landscape waste can't be mixed with trash bound for a landfill and must go out in biodegradable containers (415 ILCS 5/22.22). So gutter debris in Westlake Village goes out as yard waste, into a compost pile, or away with the crew.
