The volume is always more than it looks. That is not a sales line — it is the single most consistent thing about overgrown gardens.
Overgrown clearance is quoted on the volume and density of material, the access, the type of waste and the unknowns. Brambles, ivy and self-seeded saplings take far longer to cut than they look.
We do not publish a fixed price list for garden clearance, because the volume of material and the access at each property vary enormously. What we can do is explain what moves the number.
| Factor | Effect |
|---|---|
| Area | The baseline |
| Density of growth | Large — thicket is slow work |
| Years since last cleared | Directly related to volume |
| Self-seeded trees | May become tree work |
| Access | Large — the carry is the job |
| Non-green waste | Sorted and disposed of separately |
| Structures | Sheds and decking add labour |
| Ground conditions | Wet, heavy ground slows everything |

An overgrown garden is habitat. Nesting birds are legally protected from roughly March to August, and hedgehogs, slow worms and bats all use undisturbed cover of exactly this kind. That means checking before cutting, working so wildlife can move out, and sometimes deferring part of the work. It is how the job is done properly rather than a reason to delay.

Because growth compresses as it grows and expands enormously once cut. A bramble thicket a metre deep produces several times its apparent volume.
We would stop and tell you. It is controlled waste that spreads from fragments and needs a specialist rather than ordinary clearance.
Older shed and garage roofs often contain asbestos cement. It is set aside for a licensed contractor and the rest of the clearance carries on around it.
Nesting birds are protected from around March to August, and hedgehogs and other species use this kind of cover. The garden is checked and the work planned around what is found.
Usually. Clearing the bulk first makes the garden visible, and what is underneath almost always changes the plan for the later stages.
Yes, by agreement. Non-green waste is a separate disposal stream, so mention it at quotation.
No. Quotations are free.
