The important part of any clearance quote is the boundary — what is in, what is out, and who takes the waste away.
A full clearance normally covers cutting and removing overgrown growth, removing green and garden waste, taking out unwanted structures where agreed, clearing paths and hard surfaces, and leaving the site swept and usable.
What varies between contractors is disposal, structures and anything specialist — which is exactly what to check before agreeing a price.
| Item | Why |
|---|---|
| Asbestos | Licensed specialist work |
| Japanese knotweed | Controlled waste; specialist treatment |
| Hazardous or chemical waste | Separate regulated disposal |
| Structural demolition | Different trade and insurance |
| Drainage or groundworks | Different trade |
| Replanting and landscape design | Separate service |
| Ongoing maintenance | Usually a separate arrangement |

The most common source of upset after a clearance is a plant somebody meant to keep. If there is anything you care about — an established shrub, a fruit tree, a rose your mother planted — point at it on the walk round rather than mentioning it in passing. We would far rather work around six marked plants than replace one.
