What is Garden Clearance?
Garden clearance is the all-in service for overgrown, neglected or rubbish-filled gardens. We clear vegetation, remove rubbish, strip out old sheds or fence panels and hand back a usable plot.
Common scenarios: probate properties, end-of-tenancy strips, properties bought 'as seen', gardens that have got away from owners over a few years.
Most domestic gardens are cleared in 1–2 days. Larger plots scheduled per project.
Who It's For
- Homeowners with overgrown back gardens
- Landlords between tenancies
- Probate property executors
- House buyers preparing for renovation
When It's Needed
- Garden has become unusable / impassable
- Property is being sold
- Tenancy ending requires reset
- Renovation project needs clear ground
What Happens If You Leave It
An overgrown garden drops a property's sale value by 5–10% just on first impression. Clearing it before listing pays for itself many times over.
DIY clearance with a wheelbarrow and bags takes weeks of weekends, and the council green-bin won't accept most of it. Skip hire is expensive per cubic metre. We turn up with a tipper and a chipper.
