What we can show you for Braintree
Here is what our garden clearance work around Braintree looks like in practice.
Braintree access and housing notes
CM7 housing stock and loading reality, written for Braintree rather than the county.
Garden Clearance in Braintree: what actually matters here
A former wool and silk town at the junction of two Roman roads, with weavers' cottages near the centre and large modern estates spreading toward Great Notley.
The housing stock is Timber-framed and rendered cottages in the old centre, with 1990s–2010s estate housing at Great Notley, which decides the tools, protection and crew size we bring to a garden clearance job.
The historic centre has narrow one-way streets with short loading windows, while the newer Great Notley estates have tight turning heads that suit a 3.5t Luton rather than a 7.5t lorry.
A Braintree garden clearance is quoted on what actually fills the van, and anything reusable is separated before the rest is tipped.
A garden clearance booking in Braintree covers Braintree town centre, Great Notley, Bocking and Black Notley on the same fixed price as the town centre — the crew works the whole CM7 footprint rather than a narrow postcode.
Braintree shares its round with witham, chelmsford and colchester. That local routing is what makes same-week garden clearance slots normal here instead of an exception.
Braintree is a mid-sized town, and addresses around Braintree Town Hall and Warner Textile Archive in particular tend to need the access details confirmed before the van is loaded — we ask about that at quote stage, not on the day.
We also work Cressing, Rayne, High Garrett and Panfield as part of the Braintree area, with no difference in how the garden clearance quote is built.
If your garden clearance job runs between Braintree and saffron-walden and maldon, it is still one booking and one price — we do not split a local job across two quotes.
Every Braintree quote starts from the address itself. Two CM7 properties a few streets apart can need different crew sizes for the same garden clearance.
Braintree is planned as Braintree town centre (CM7), Great Notley (CM77) and Bocking (CM7) and the streets around them, which is how the crew knows the approach in advance.
We hold 12 named parts of Braintree on the routing sheet, from Braintree town centre through to Chapel Hill, all inside CM7.
Where a Braintree garden clearance needs a second visit, it is booked from the same round that covers witham and chelmsford rather than treated as a new job.
What a garden clearance job includes
Garden clearance is the removal of green waste and everything else a garden accumulates: prunings, hedge cuttings, turf, soil, old decking and fence panels, broken furniture, pots, a collapsed shed. Green waste from £95 covers cutting, bagging and removal, and where the load is mixed it is priced by the volume of the van you actually fill, from £110 for a quarter load to £310 for a full load of roughly 12 cubic yards. Everything leaves with a waste transfer note under Environment Agency registration CBDU300454.
Cutting back
- Overgrowth, brambles and shrubs cut back to the line you agree before we start
- Hedges reduced and the arisings removed rather than left in a pile
- Weeds and self-seeded growth cleared from beds, paths and paving joints
- Turf and topsoil lifted where a bed or a path is being taken out
Hard items
- Old fence panels, posts, trellis and rotten decking removed
- Sheds and greenhouses dismantled and taken away where they are safe to break down
- Broken garden furniture, pots, planters, play equipment and trampolines
- Rubble, hardcore and spoil segregated as its own waste stream
Loading and disposal
- Full crew carry — nothing left for you to drag to the front
- Access route protected and the path or drive swept afterwards
- Green waste taken to a composting route and hard waste segregated at a licensed transfer station
- Waste transfer note issued in your name, usually the same day
What changes the price on a garden clearance job
- Green waste is bulky and light, so a garden that looks like a small job can fill a van quickly. Photos of the whole garden — not just the worst corner — get you a firm price instead of a range.
- Access decides the labour. A garden reached only through the house, or up a shared alley, is a longer carry than one with side or rear vehicle access, and we ask which yours is at quote stage.
- Soil, rubble and hardcore are heavy waste charged as their own stream, because the transfer station charges by weight rather than volume. Mixing them into a green-waste price would be a price that changed on the day.
- Nesting birds are protected by law between March and August, and we will not cut a hedge that is in active use. If we find a nest we stop that section and tell you.
- Asbestos — common in old shed and garage roofing — fuel, gas bottles and chemicals are outside our licence. If we suspect it, we stop, tell you and point you to a licensed contractor rather than loading it.

About Braintree
Braintree grew as a wool and silk town where two Roman roads crossed, and CM7 still shows it. The old centre and Bocking hold timber-framed and rendered cottages with low door heads, uneven floors and staircases never designed for a modern king-size bed, while the belt out to Great Notley and Rayne is 1990s–2010s estate housing with dot-and-dab walls, trussed roofs and small integral garages. A bed assembly in one half of the town and the same job in the other need different fixings and different amounts of dismantling.
Access divides the same way. The historic streets are narrow and one-way with short loading windows, so town-centre work is booked early and, where a cottage has no stopping place at all, staged with a shuttle. The Notley estates are easy to reach but have tight turning heads and parking-court entries that suit a 3.5-tonne Luton. Clearance waste leaves on our own licence with a transfer note, so there is no Essex County Council tip slot to book and no van permit to apply for. Braintree crews also cover Witham, Halstead, Coggeshall and Great Dunmow.

Braintree questions, answered.
How much does garden clearance cost in Braintree?
Garden Clearance in Braintree (CM7) starts from £95. The final figure is fixed before booking and reflects the size of the property, the floor level and the access — which in Braintree usually means the historic centre has narrow one-way streets with short loading windows, while the newer Great Notley estates have tight turning heads that suit a 3.5t Luton rather than a 7.5t lorry.
Do you cover the whole of Braintree?
Yes — every CM7 street, plus the surrounding Essex towns. Crews are routed within the county rather than dispatched from London, so short-notice slots are realistic.
Are you insured for garden clearance work?
We carry £1m public liability cover and hold Environment Agency waste carrier licence CBDU300454. Certificates are available on request and the details are published on our trust and credentials page.
How quickly can you book garden clearance in Braintree?
Same-week slots are standard in Braintree, with next-day often available midweek. Month-end tenancy changeovers are the busiest window across Essex, so book those a week or two ahead.
How is a garden clearance priced?
Green waste starts from £95 for cut, bagged and removed. Mixed loads are priced by the volume of the van you fill — £110 a quarter, £180 a half, £310 full — with all labour, sweeping and tip fees included, so you are never charged for space you do not use.
Do you do the cutting as well as the taking away?
Yes. Cutting back, dismantling and lifting is part of the job — you do not need to have piled it up first. If it is already bagged, say so and the price reflects the shorter labour.
Where does the green waste go?
Green waste goes to a composting route and hard waste is segregated at a licensed transfer station, with over 90% of what we collect kept out of landfill. You get the waste transfer note either way, which is your legal record of where it went.
