Robert

James was responsive to our request for a quote, for felling a large ash tree we suspected had died. He replied to messages quickly, turned up when he said he would, and was correct that our tree had in fact died. James was professional the whole time and we would have no hesitation in hiring and recommending him to others in the future.

What can a garden cleaning company help with?

Garden clearance companies offer a range of services to help manage and maintain the aesthetics and health of your garden, including:

  • Rubbish Removal: Clearing out garden debris such as fallen branches, leaves, and other organic waste.
  • Overgrown Garden Services: Tackling overgrown gardens that need substantial cutting back, weeding, and removal of unwanted vegetation.
  • Garden Waste Disposal: Proper disposal of garden waste, including composting or using environmentally friendly methods to minimise landfill use.
  • Recycling Services: Sorting and recycling eligible materials to ensure sustainable disposal practices.
  • Landscaping Prep: Preparing gardens for new landscaping projects by clearing the area thoroughly.

What should I consider when hiring someone to clear my garden?

  1. Are a skilled company with a strong history of high standard projects  
  2. Have all the necessary licences and insurance needed to protect you and their workers 
  3. Have a good range of positive reviews from previous customers vouching for their reliability  
  4. Are offering the garden clearance services you need, and are available to carry out the work in the timeframe you need it to be completed by 
  5. Are quoting a price and payment option that you are happy with, having compared the quote with other garden clearance companies  

How much do garden clearance companies cost to hire?

Hiring garden clearance services can significantly vary in cost based on several factors including the scope of the project, the volume of waste, and geographical location. It may be factored into pricing when hiring a landscape gardener, but here’s a detailed look at the typical costs associated with garden clearance:

Cost Factors

  • Volume and Type of Waste: The more waste that needs to be cleared, the higher the cost. Specific types of waste, like large branches or special waste items, might require additional fees for disposal.
  • Accessibility: Gardens that are hard to access can increase the cost due to the extra labour required to remove the waste.
  • Labour Intensity: The level of overgrowth and the amount of manual labour needed to clear the garden will impact the cost. More complex clearances involving cutting, uprooting, removing things like sheds or using heavy machinery will be more expensive.
  • Disposal Fees: The cost of properly disposing of garden waste can vary depending on local regulations and the type of materials. Some materials may require special disposal methods that can increase costs.

Pricing Structure

  • Per Hour Rates: Garden clearance services often charge by the hour, with rates typically ranging from £45 to £60. This rate might include a team of two or more people, depending on the company.
  • Per Load Rates: Many companies also offer rates per load, which can vary from £60 to £360. This is usually determined by the size of the truck used and the volume of waste.
  • Fixed Prices for Specific Tasks: Some services may offer fixed prices for specific tasks like overgrown garden clearance, which can range from £70 to £300, depending on the severity and area covered.
  • Additional Services: Services like soil removal or the rental of a skip for larger projects typically cost extra. Soil removal can cost between £150 and £350, and skip hire prices vary based on size and rental duration.

Other garden clearance FAQs

Is it illegal to have an overgrown garden?

While not typically illegal, having an extremely overgrown garden can violate local ordinances, especially if it poses a risk to public health or safety, or if it encourages pests. It’s best to check with local regulations to ensure compliance.

Do overgrown gardens attract rats?

Yes, overgrown gardens can attract rats and other pests. Dense vegetation provides shelter and potential food sources for rodents, making regular garden maintenance essential for pest control.

Do I need permission to level my garden?

Generally, you do not need permission to level your garden if it’s for personal landscaping purposes and does not affect drainage or your neighbour’s property. However, significant alterations involving structures or changes to land grading might require planning permission. Always check with your local planning authority if unsure.

Vladimir was the best. He prepared my 40 years old metal garage and wood frame beautifully, undercoated then applied two coats of Zinsser allcoat satin paint. It looks better than new. He later sprayed fence life 5 years onto my fence and shed, again they look as good if not better than new. All competitively priced too. Highly recommended.
