From understanding the costs to choosing the right tradesperson, here’s what you need to know about garden clearance services to help you hire with confidence.

What does garden clearance include?

A full garden clearance service normally involves:

• Removing vegetation: weeds, dead plants, overgrown grass, shrubs, and bushes
• Clearing debris: fallen branches, leaves, soil, broken planters, or fencing
• Removing or dismantling old garden structures, sheds, and hard landscaping debris (such as paving and rubble)
• Waste disposal: gathering, bagging, or skip hire, and eco-friendly disposal or recycling where possible
• Optional extras: stump removal, trimming or pruning, leveling/soil grading, disinfection or pest-control if needed

Overgrown garden clearance and safety work

When a garden has been neglected, some additional tasks may be needed to get things shipshape again:

• Dealing with dense overgrowth (brambles, vines, thick weeds) that need more labour
• Tree stump or root work
• Clearance of large or bulky waste (old furniture, large branches, dismantled sheds)
• Ensuring safe access and removing hazards (broken glass, rusted metal, etc.)

Garden clearance cost

The cost of garden clearance will depend on the type and volume of waste, accessibility, and your location. You’ll typically be charged per load or by the hour.

How much is garden clearance per hour?

On average, expect to pay around £52.50 per hour for standard garden clearance work.

Garden clearance costs per load

Alternatively, if you’re charged ‘per load’, around £210 per load is fairly standard, assuming typical conditions.

Overgrown garden clearance cost

If your outdoor space is severely overgrown, you could be paying up to around £300 for garden clearance.

Tip: Aim to get a selection of quotes before hiring garden clearance services. That way, you can check what’s included, compare prices, and ensure you receive a fair and competitive rate.

Factors that affect the cost of garden clearance

When you receive your quote for garden clearance, bear in mind several factors come into play, including:

• The size of the garden and area to clear (square metres, number of items)
• The condition and overgrowth level (light tidying vs dense vegetation)
• Types of waste or debris to remove (organic green waste, bulky materials, soil, structures)
• Access and difficulty (gate width, steep paths, ladders)
• Waste disposal method (whether it’s included or if skip hire / a licensed waste carrier is needed)
• Location/labour rates — garden clearance in London or the South East often costs more

How long does garden clearance take?

• Light clearance jobs (weeds, lawn cutting, small debris) typically take a few hours
• Medium projects with moderate overgrowth or several areas may take half a day
• Major clearances (large gardens, removing structures, trees, stumps etc.) can span a full day or more

Tips for hiring garden clearance companies in your area

When looking for a garden clearance service near you, follow these steps:

• Check reviews and photos of previous clearance jobs
• Ask what’s included and whether waste removal is covered
• Ensure the company has any required licences for waste disposal
• Get at least three quotes to compare costs and what’s included
• Ask about scheduling — some companies charge more in the busy gardening season
