Frequently Asked Questions

What does a garden clearance service include?
Garden clearance typically involves the removal of overgrown plants, brambles, shrubs, fallen branches, and green waste. We focus on clearing unwanted material while preserving plants or features you wish to keep.
Do you remove all the waste after the clearance?
Yes, all agreed garden waste can be removed from the property. Waste is handled responsibly and disposed of in line with local regulations.
Can garden clearance be done on very overgrown or neglected gardens?
Yes. We regularly clear gardens that have been left unmanaged for long periods, working methodically to restore the space safely and efficiently.

Garden clearance is often the first step in restoring an outdoor space that has become difficult to manage. Over time, gardens can become overgrown with unwanted vegetation, fallen branches, and accumulated green waste, making them less usable and harder to maintain. Our garden clearance service in London is designed to deal with this efficiently, leaving your outdoor area clean, accessible, and ready for its next stage.

We approach every garden clearance job with a clear plan. Before work begins, we assess the size of the space, the type of waste involved, and access points for safe removal. This allows us to work methodically and avoid unnecessary disruption to neighbouring properties, fencing, or existing plants you may wish to keep.

Our service covers a wide range of situations. Some clients need help clearing a garden that has been neglected for months or even years, while others require clearance after tree surgery, landscaping work, or seasonal growth. We also support landlords, letting agents, and homeowners preparing properties for sale or new tenants, where a tidy and manageable garden makes a noticeable difference.

During the clearance process, we remove overgrown plants, brambles, shrubs, and green waste carefully and efficiently. Where possible, waste is separated to support responsible disposal, ensuring garden debris is handled correctly and in line with local regulations. The aim is not just to remove clutter, but to leave the space safe, practical, and easier to maintain going forward.

Garden clearance can also reveal the true potential of an outdoor area. Once excess growth and debris are removed, it becomes much easier to plan improvements such as planting, turfing, or landscaping. Many clients are surprised by how much more open and usable their garden feels after a proper clearance.

Safety plays an important role in our work. Overgrown gardens can hide uneven ground, sharp debris, or unstable features. We take care to identify and manage these risks throughout the job, helping protect both the property and the people using it.

Our team works with respect for your time and surroundings. We arrive as agreed, work efficiently, and aim to complete the clearance with minimal disruption. Once finished, the garden is left clean and orderly, with all agreed waste removed.

Garden clearance is not just about tidying up — it’s about creating a solid foundation for future use. Whether you’re reclaiming an overgrown space or preparing a garden for change, our service provides a reliable, practical solution tailored to your property.

Preparing Your Garden for Future Use

A thorough garden clearance creates a clean starting point for any future plans you may have. Once unwanted growth and debris are removed, it becomes far easier to assess the layout of the space and decide how it should be used. Whether you are planning landscaping work, planting, or simply want a low-maintenance garden, proper clearance helps everything that follows work more smoothly.

Supporting Ongoing Garden Maintenance

Clearing an overgrown garden is not just a one-off improvement. Removing dense vegetation and accumulated waste makes ongoing maintenance far more manageable. With better access and visibility, routine tasks such as mowing, pruning, and general upkeep become quicker and safer, helping prevent the garden from becoming overgrown again.

A Practical Solution for Property Management

Garden clearance is particularly useful for rental properties, inherited homes, or properties that have been vacant for some time. A cleared garden improves the overall appearance of a property and helps meet basic safety and presentation standards. Many landlords and homeowners choose clearance as a practical first step before re-letting or selling.

Careful Handling of Existing Features

Not every garden clearance means starting from scratch. We work carefully around trees, established plants, fences, sheds, and hard landscaping that you wish to keep. By clearing selectively and methodically, we help preserve valuable features while removing what no longer serves the space.

Restoring Safety and Accessibility

Overgrown gardens can hide trip hazards, unstable ground, or sharp debris. Clearing these areas improves safety and makes the space accessible again for everyday use. Paths, patios, and lawn areas become easier to navigate, helping restore confidence in using the garden.

A Cleaner, More Usable Outdoor Space

Once clearance is complete, the garden feels more open, organised, and usable. Whether the goal is practical maintenance, visual improvement, or preparation for further work, garden clearance provides a solid foundation that supports long-term enjoyment and care of your outdoor space.

Please note

  • Pricing is based on tree height, crown size, and the outcome you’re looking to achieve, ensuring the work is planned and costed properly.

  • Some native trees are legally protected, and permission from the local council may be required before removal or major work can take place.

  • We normally avoid working on Sundays due to noise considerations, however exceptions can be made where neighbours have given consent or the location is suitably isolated.
