Garden Clearance: When to Book and What to Expect

A neglected garden can accumulate years of growth, broken furniture, old pots, and general debris surprisingly quickly. Whether you’re moving out, selling your home, or just reclaiming your outdoor space, a professional garden clearance can transform the area in a single day.

Best times to book: Spring (March–May) is the most popular time as growth accelerates and gardens need the most attention. Autumn (September–November) is ideal for cutting back before winter and removing fallen leaves, dead plants and overgrown shrubs. Clearances can be booked year-round though — overgrown brambles and dumped junk don’t wait for good weather.

What’s typically included: Removal of overgrown shrubs, hedges and brambles, clearance of accumulated junk and furniture, removal of old sheds and outbuildings, lawn raking and strimming, path and patio clearing, and removal of all green waste.

What to expect on the day: Our team will arrive at the agreed time with the tools and vehicle needed. We’ll confirm with you exactly what to clear and what to keep before we start. All green waste goes to licensed composting facilities — we don’t send it to landfill.

Preparing for a clearance: It helps to mark anything you want to keep, especially if your garden is overgrown. Walk around with the team when they arrive so everyone is clear on what’s going.
