Two things decide almost every clearance quote: how much material there is, and how far it has to be carried to reach a vehicle.
Garden clearance is quoted on volume of waste, type of waste, access, and time on site. Volume and access are the two that matter most, and access is the one people most often forget to mention.
We do not publish a fixed price list for garden clearance, because the volume of material and the access at each property vary enormously.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, so you know what to look at before you ask.
This is the single biggest driver. Green waste is bulky and light; rubble and soil are compact and heavy; mixed household waste is the most awkward of all because it has to be separated. A garden that looks manageable can still fill several loads once brambles are cut and stacked.
| Factor | Effect |
|---|---|
| Size of garden | Baseline for volume |
| How long it has been left | Large — years of growth is a different job |
| Amount of hard landscaping to lift | Increases weight and disposal cost |
| Structures to remove | Sheds, decking, greenhouses add labour |
| Anything to keep | Slower, more careful work |
| Ground conditions | Wet, heavy ground slows everything |
| Disposal route | Green waste, general waste and rubble go different ways |

Anyone removing waste from your property commercially should be a registered waste carrier. It is worth asking — as the householder you have a duty of care to check that your waste is passed to someone authorised to take it, and fly-tipped waste traced back to you is your problem, not just theirs.

It is quoted on volume of waste, type of waste, access and time on site. Volume and access are the two largest factors.
Because the carry is the work. The same amount of waste costs far more to remove through a house or up steps than through a side gate onto a driveway.
Generally yes. Green waste is bulky but disposed of cheaply; mixed household waste has to be sorted and costs more to dispose of.
Yes, and it can reduce the cost. Chip for borders, logs for a burner and compostable green waste can all stay if you want them.
Yes. They are bulky and often need breaking down first, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Yes. It is worth asking anyone who removes waste from your property, because as the householder you have a duty of care to check.
Yes, and it usually saves money. Clearance with fencing or turfing in one visit avoids a second set-up.
