One visit, and the garden is back

One-off clearances for gardens that have got on top of people. Overgrowth cut back, borders and beds dug over and weeded, brambles and self-seeded stuff out, paths and steps cleared, and the whole lot taken away. Good before a house goes on the market, after a wet winter, or when a garden has been left a season too long.

What you get

Every garden tidy-up, done the same way

01

Cleared, Not Just Cut

Brambles, nettles and self-seeded saplings taken out at the root where we can, because cutting the top off buys you about six weeks and then you are back where you started.

02

Borders Brought Back

Beds dug over, weeded and edged, and the plants worth keeping cut back and left with room around them rather than everything going in the trailer.

03

Paths and Steps Back

Paths, drives and steps cleared of moss and overgrowth and swept off, which usually makes more difference to how a garden looks than anything else in a day.

04

All of It Taken Away

A full clearance makes a serious amount of green waste. It goes with us the same day rather than sitting in a pile at the bottom of the garden for a fortnight.

Questions

Asked and answered

How long does a garden clearance take?

A typical back garden that has been left a season is a day. Something that has been going for a few years, with brambles through the borders and saplings coming up in the beds, is two to three days and a lot more waste. We will look at it and give you a fixed price rather than an hourly rate that grows once we are in there.

Do you take everything away?

Yes. Green waste, brambles, prunings and old growth all go with us. Where there is other rubbish in the garden, old fence panels, rubble, a shed that has collapsed, we can usually take that too but it gets priced separately because it goes to a different place and costs us differently.

Can you tidy a garden before we sell the house?

Yes, and it is worth doing. A cleared, edged garden with the paths swept and the fence line visible changes how a property photographs and how it feels when somebody walks round it. Tell us the date the pictures are being taken and we will work back from it.

Will you keep the plants we want to keep?

Yes, as long as we know which they are. The easiest thing is to walk round with us for five minutes before we start and point out what stays, particularly anything that is not obvious in winter when it is cut back to nothing. Anything you are not sure about, we will leave rather than take out.

Can you keep it tidy afterwards?

That is usually the sensible follow-on. A clearance is a big one-off job, and putting the garden on a regular grass and hedge round afterwards costs a fraction of it and means you never need the big job again. Plenty of our regular gardens started as a one-off clearance.
