Garden and Site Clearance in Essex, Hertfordshire and London

Gardens that have been left, rented properties between tenants, and plots ready for building. We clear trees, shrubs, brambles and overgrowth, chip it, and take the lot away.

Overgrown gardens

Self-seeded trees, overgrown shrubs, brambles and ivy cleared back to ground you can use. Because we are tree surgeons, the larger trees and stumps that a general gardener would leave behind come out too.

Landlords and commercial clients

We work for landlords and commercial clients as well as homeowners: clearing gardens between tenants, keeping boundaries and verges under control, and clearing land before building work starts.

Vegetation management and grass cutting

For sites that need keeping on top of, we offer ongoing vegetation management and grass cutting, so a cleared garden or plot does not end up back where it started.

What is included

  • Trees, shrubs and hedges cleared
  • Brambles, ivy and overgrowth cut back
  • Stumps ground out
  • Green waste chipped and taken away
  • Clearance between tenancies
  • Land cleared ahead of building work
  • Ongoing vegetation management and grass cutting

From overgrown to cleared, same spot.

  • “Excellent service from start to finish. The team offered a really good price, arrived on time, and completed the job efficiently. They were very polite, professional, and friendly throughout. They did a great job cutting back our tree and left everything clean and tidy afterwards, taking away all the mess. Highly recommend and would definitely use them again.”

Common questions about garden & site clearance

Do you take all the waste away?

Yes. Green waste is chipped on site where possible and everything is taken away, so you are not left with a pile at the end of the drive.

Do you clear gardens for landlords?

Yes. We work for landlords and commercial clients as well as homeowners, including clearing gardens between tenancies.

Can you keep the garden under control afterwards?

Yes. We offer ongoing vegetation management and grass cutting, so a cleared garden or site stays that way.
