One-off tidies, between tenancies, and years of growth
Garden clearance, taken away the same day.
The difference between a tidy and a clearance is usually whether there is anywhere left to put the waste. We bring the truck.
What gets cleared
The point of a clearance is that you are not left looking at the pile afterwards.
- Overgrown borders, brambles and shrubs cut back or taken out
- Grass and weeds cut down to something a mower can take on
- Dead and failed planting grubbed out, roots included
- Old sheds, rotten fencing and timber removed
- Green waste chipped where it is woody, loaded where it is not
- Paths swept and the garden left usable rather than just emptier
Common reasons people book one
Rarely because the garden got untidy last month.
-
It got away
Illness, a new baby, a demanding year. Gardens do not wait and nobody here is going to comment on it.
-
Moving out
Getting a garden presentable for photographs or for the end of a tenancy, usually to a date.
-
Moving in
Taking back a garden somebody else let go, so you can see what you have actually bought.
-
Before the real work
Clearance first, so a patio, a lawn or a fence can be priced against ground you can see.
-
Probate and empty property
Often substantial, often to a deadline, and we will send photographs as we go.
-
Regular tidies
Twice a year on the hedges and borders stops it ever becoming a clearance again.
Garden need clearing?
Send a few photographs from different corners. It is usually enough for us to say whether it is a day or three.
Questions about this job
-
Yes, that is the main thing that separates a clearance from a tidy. Woody material goes through the chipper, which cuts the volume right down, and the rest is loaded onto the truck. You are not left with bags by the gate.
-
By the day on anything substantial, agreed after a free visit. Photographs help us tell you roughly what to expect beforehand, but a garden is hard to judge honestly until someone has walked round it.
-
Usually, as long as there is access and we can agree what stays and what goes before the day. The things people regret are nearly always the ones nobody asked about, so we would rather over-confirm.
-
Of course. Mark anything that stays, or walk us round it at the quote. We would far rather spend ten minutes on that than remove something that mattered.
