Limitations & Specialist Requests

To keep you informed and safe, here are some boundaries and scenarios that warrant a bespoke approach:

  • Tree work: Light tree pruning is possible; substantial tree felling or work at height may require our tree pruning service or a specialist partner.
  • Structures and utilities: We do not alter or repair sheds, fences, decking, electrics, or plumbing during clearance. We work carefully around visible services.
  • Waste types: Our service is for green waste and typical garden debris. Soil, hardcore, large timber, and general builders’ waste may require separate removal.
  • Invasive species: Suspected Japanese knotweed, giant hogweed or similar requires specific handling; we’ll advise on specialist treatment.
  • Wildlife: If we find active nests or protected habitats, we’ll pause the affected area and discuss compliant next steps.
  • Access constraints: Severe access limits, no parking, or upper-level gardens may affect method, time on site and cost.

If any of the above apply, we’ll note it during the survey and tailor the quote accordingly.

Pricing Guide

Overgrown garden clearance pricing is driven by:

  • Size and density of growth: Height, thickness, and the proportion of brambles, nettles and woody shrubs.
  • Access and logistics: Distance from parking to garden, stairs, narrow side passages, and waste loading time.
  • Equipment and team size: Brushcutters, chainsaws for woody stems, and any specialist kit needed for safety.
  • Waste volume: The number of loads required for responsible disposal.
  • Preservation vs. full reset: Selective clearance can take longer than a total site reset.
  • Frequency: One-off clearances typically take longer than planned phased visits.

We’re happy to price for a single visit or a staged plan. For indicative ranges and tailored quotes, visit our pricing page. Final costs are always based on the assessed scope and method.

Quality, Safety & Compliance

  • Risk assessments: We assess site hazards, including hidden debris, uneven ground and thorny plants, before work starts.

  • Documentation: Quotes and job summaries provided on request, including before/after photos when helpful.
