Robert
James was responsive to our request for a quote, for felling a large ash tree we suspected had died. He replied to messages quickly, turned up when he said he would, and was correct that our tree had in fact died. James was professional the whole time and we would have no hesitation in hiring and recommending him to others in the future.

How much do garden clearance companies cost to hire?
Hiring garden clearance services can significantly vary in cost based on several factors including the scope of the project, the volume of waste, and geographical location. It may be factored into pricing when hiring a landscape gardener, but here’s a detailed look at the typical costs associated with garden clearance:
Cost Factors
- Volume and Type of Waste: The more waste that needs to be cleared, the higher the cost. Specific types of waste, like large branches or special waste items, might require additional fees for disposal.
- Accessibility: Gardens that are hard to access can increase the cost due to the extra labour required to remove the waste.
- Labour Intensity: The level of overgrowth and the amount of manual labour needed to clear the garden will impact the cost. More complex clearances involving cutting, uprooting, removing things like sheds or using heavy machinery will be more expensive.
- Disposal Fees: The cost of properly disposing of garden waste can vary depending on local regulations and the type of materials. Some materials may require special disposal methods that can increase costs.
Pricing Structure
- Per Hour Rates: Garden clearance services often charge by the hour, with rates typically ranging from £45 to £60. This rate might include a team of two or more people, depending on the company.
- Per Load Rates: Many companies also offer rates per load, which can vary from £60 to £360. This is usually determined by the size of the truck used and the volume of waste.
- Fixed Prices for Specific Tasks: Some services may offer fixed prices for specific tasks like overgrown garden clearance, which can range from £70 to £300, depending on the severity and area covered.
- Additional Services: Services like soil removal or the rental of a skip for larger projects typically cost extra. Soil removal can cost between £150 and £350, and skip hire prices vary based on size and rental duration.
Other garden clearance FAQs
Is it illegal to have an overgrown garden?
While not typically illegal, having an extremely overgrown garden can violate local ordinances, especially if it poses a risk to public health or safety, or if it encourages pests. It’s best to check with local regulations to ensure compliance.
Do overgrown gardens attract rats?
Yes, overgrown gardens can attract rats and other pests. Dense vegetation provides shelter and potential food sources for rodents, making regular garden maintenance essential for pest control.
Do I need permission to level my garden?
Generally, you do not need permission to level your garden if it’s for personal landscaping purposes and does not affect drainage or your neighbour’s property. However, significant alterations involving structures or changes to land grading might require planning permission. Always check with your local planning authority if unsure.

Kieran did an excellent job of digging out an overgrown flower bed and rebuilding a brick retaining wall topped with coping.

I can certainly recommend Kieran for similar jobs.

We used D & V to replace our garden fence which was damaged in a storm. They came and quoted the job within a day and started the very next day. The job was completed in 2 days and the fence looks great and should last for years. We would recommend for any work of this type.

Keiran and his gang at Smith & Sons are a total disgrace. He demanded full payment upfront (which clearly funded his honeymoon), did the bare minimum, then vanished. No return, no refund, no shame. They’ve taken our money and run – pure theft, in my view. They hide behind multiple business names, which reeks of dishonesty and likely tax dodging. Untrustworthy. Unreliable. Unprofessional. Avoid them like the plague. I wouldn’t let them near a garden with a bargepole.

Couldn't be happier with the work that David and Chris carried out. They completely transformed our garden and gave valuable input into the design as it progressed.

I posted a job and got quotes quicker than I expected. I spoke to one company and arranged a date and time for a quote but they did not turn up. I had already arranged another for the next day and they did turn up and rang me while at my home to give me a price. The cost was half the cost the first company had quoted when I rang them to find out if they had turned up.i was pleased with the cost and the work done. I will contact them for more work if needed and would definitely recommend them.

Everything looks really good, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
