Garden clearance & rescue
Whether you've just moved in, inherited an overgrown plot, or things have simply gotten away from you — we'll bring your garden back to life.
How we approach a clearance
We don't just hack everything back. Every clearance begins with a walk-through assessment to identify plants worth keeping, spot potential issues like invasive species, and agree a plan before any cutting starts. We've rescued beautiful old roses, fruit trees and established shrubs that owners had assumed were beyond saving.
Boundaries first. We start by clearing boundary hedges and fences, which opens up the space and gives us room to work inward. It also makes the biggest visual difference quickly — in many Warwickshire gardens, the boundaries alone can take a full day to clear back, but the transformation is immediate.
Gradual reduction. When tackling overgrown shrubs, we don't try to take them down to the final size in one go. We cut to knee height first, clear the debris, then come back and cut to the final shape. This lets us see the structure of each plant before making final decisions.
Invasive species. Japanese knotweed, bindweed and ground elder all need specialist treatment — simply cutting them risks spreading the problem. We'll identify any invasive species during our assessment and advise on the right approach. Japanese knotweed in particular has legal implications and should always be handled by professionals.
Complete waste removal. We handle all waste removal as part of our clearance service, so you don't have to worry about skip hire or tip runs. For very large jobs, we can arrange multiple visits to keep things manageable.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a typical garden clearance take?
A neglected back garden usually takes a full day. Larger plots or really overgrown sites can take 2–3 days. We'll give a clear time estimate after a site visit.
Do you take all the waste away?
Yes — we remove everything as part of the job. We're licensed waste carriers and dispose of garden waste responsibly at a registered transfer station.
Will you save the plants worth keeping?
Always. Every clearance starts with a walk-round to identify shrubs, perennials and trees worth keeping. We protect them as we work and leave you with the bones of a garden to build on.
Can you clear brambles, ivy and bindweed?
Yes — these are our regular customers. Brambles cut back and root-balled out, ivy lifted off fences and trees, bindweed dug or treated. We'll explain what comes back and what doesn't.
Is access an issue for a clearance?
Side access helps — we can wheelbarrow everything out. If there's no side access we work via the house using floor protection. Just let us know when you call.
