Service Overview
Garden Clearances —
In Plain English.
What It Is
Garden clearance is the full removal of unwanted vegetation from a plot — overgrowth, brambles, self-set trees, dead stock, fly-tipped material, and anything else that's stopping you using the space.
Who It's For
Homeowners moving into a neglected property, landlords resetting rental gardens, estate executors clearing a property for sale, and developers prepping a plot for landscaping.
When You Need It
Anytime — late autumn through early spring is ideal when growth has died back.
Why It Matters
An overgrown garden hides hazards (sharps, old foundations, wells) and harbours pests. Clearance gets the site back to a workable starting point.
What Happens If You Wait
The Cost Of
Doing Nothing.
Overgrown gardens are deceptive — what looks like a one-day job often hides serious volume, and lots of self-set trees over 7cm diameter can need permissions.
Risks Of Ignoring It
- →Felling self-set trees without checking for TPOs.
- →DIY clearance with no waste disposal route — fly-tipping fines are serious.
- →Disturbing protected species (bats in mature ivy, hedgehogs, nesting birds).
Common Mistakes Customers Make
- ×Hiring a 'man with a van' who tips your waste in a lay-by.
- ×Trying to do it yourself with a domestic strimmer — weeks of work, no end in sight.

Every job is different — tree size, access and site conditions all affect price. We give free, no-obligation written estimates after a site visit, normally back within 24 hours. We work to a written quote based on the job, not a day rate. Payment by cash or bank transfer on completion — no deposits required.
What are your hours, and do you do emergencies?

Standard hours are Monday to Friday, 8:00am to 5:00pm. We offer emergency call-outs for storm damage and dangerous trees, and the phone is answered outside normal working hours.

What happens to the waste?
+
All of our by-product is recycled — turned into biomass energy and seasoned firewood, so nothing goes to landfill. On garden clearances we take all the waste away unless you'd like to keep any of the wood or woodchip.

Do I need permission to have a tree worked on?

Some trees are protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or sit in a conservation area. For TPO or conservation-area trees we can handle the council application on your behalf for a small fee, which is deducted from your bill if you go ahead with the work.
Do you carry out tree surveys or reports?
