What we can show you for Chelmsford
Here is what our garden clearance work around Chelmsford looks like in practice.
Chelmsford access and housing notes
CM1, CM2, CM3 housing stock and loading reality, written for Chelmsford rather than the county.
Garden Clearance in Chelmsford: what actually matters here
Essex's county city, built around the Chelmer and Can rivers, with Victorian terraces in Moulsham, interwar semis in Springfield and dense new apartment blocks around the station.
The housing stock is London stock and Essex red brick, with a fast-growing belt of 2010s apartment blocks at Beaulieu Park and Chelmer Waterside, which decides the tools, protection and crew size we bring to a garden clearance job.
City-centre streets inside the inner ring are permit-controlled with loading bays timed against the morning peak, and the newer riverside blocks are served by underground car parks with 2.0m height barriers, so we survey van height before booking.
Chelmsford garden clearance bookings are timed around the transfer station, not the other way round, so the crew is not waiting on a weighbridge with your job half done.
Our Chelmsford footprint runs across CM1, CM2 and CM3 and takes in City centre, Moulsham, Springfield, Great Baddow and Chelmer Village, all on the same garden clearance pricing.
Because the same Essex team runs Chelmsford alongside witham, braintree and maldon, we can often add a garden clearance job to an existing day rather than sending a van out on its own.
Chelmsford is one of the larger settlements in the county, and addresses around Chelmsford Cathedral and Hylands Park 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.
Further out, Beaulieu Park, Broomfield, Writtle Road and Galleywood sit inside the same footprint — same crews, same fixed garden clearance pricing.
Chelmsford to billericay, brentwood and wickford is a run the team does regularly, and a garden clearance across that route is quoted as a single job.
We quote from your specific CM1 address rather than a Chelmsford average, because parking, floor level and carry distance vary across the town.
Routing for Chelmsford is held area by area — City centre (CM1), Moulsham (CM2) and Springfield (CM1) — so a garden clearance slot is timed against the real approach, not a town-centre average.
The Chelmsford sheet lists 12 areas; City centre and Melbourne sit at opposite ends of it, and the garden clearance price is the same across all of them.
If the Chelmsford diary is full on the day you want, the same crew is usually in witham or braintree that week, so the wait is days rather than weeks.
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
- 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.
- 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.

About Chelmsford
Chelmsford is the county city and the busiest single market in Essex for us. The stock splits three ways: Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Moulsham and Old Moulsham, interwar and post-war semis across Springfield, Great Baddow and Galleywood, and a fast-growing belt of apartment blocks at Chelmer Waterside and Beaulieu Park. Each one changes the job — lath-and-plaster and chimney breasts in the terraces, cavity blockwork in the semis, and dot-and-dab with concrete slabs in the new blocks, which is why our handyman vans carry all three anchor sets rather than guessing from the address.
Access is the part that catches people out. Streets inside the inner ring are permit-controlled with loading bays timed against the morning peak, and the riverside blocks are served by underground car parks with barriers around 2.0 metres — too low for a Luton, so those moves run with a smaller vehicle and a shuttle. We survey the stopping point and the barrier height when we quote, not on the doorstep. Clearance waste leaves on our own upper-tier carrier licence with a transfer note, so no Essex County Council tip booking or van permit is needed at your end.
Other clearance & disposal services in Chelmsford
Chelmsford questions, answered.
How much does garden clearance cost in Chelmsford?
Garden Clearance in Chelmsford (CM1, CM2, CM3) 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 Chelmsford usually means city-centre streets inside the inner ring are permit-controlled with loading bays timed against the morning peak, and the newer riverside blocks are served by underground car parks with 2.0m height barriers, so we survey van height before booking.
Do you cover the whole of Chelmsford?
Yes — every CM1 and CM2 and CM3 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 Chelmsford?
Same-week slots are standard in Chelmsford, 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.
