Garden clearance in Lincolnshire

Garden clearance: the basics

What the job involves

Garden clearance is a one-off job to cut back and remove overgrowth, brambles, dead plants and rubbish, often before a sale, a tenancy or a new landscaping project. The team will strim, cut, dig out roots where asked and take the waste away.

What to ask a pro, and what to have ready

Send photos of the whole garden and say what should stay. Ask for a fixed price that includes waste removal, whether they are a registered waste carrier (you can check the Environment Agency's public register), and whether any lawn is to be left.

Safety and good to know

Garden waste taken away for payment must go through a registered waste carrier; householders can be held responsible if their waste is fly-tipped. LincsDirectory doesn't vet or endorse businesses — always check credentials and get a written quote.

Good to know

a clearance is a good time to deal with roots of brambles, bindweed and ivy properly, because cutting them off at ground level means they come back. Japanese knotweed is a legal and practical problem and needs a specialist; tell the gardener if you suspect it. Ask whether they can leave any usable topsoil or compost.
