Garden Clearance across Hertfordshire
A narrow Chilterns cottage garden reached only through the house is a longer carry than a new-town garden in Stevenage or Hatfield with side access, and that access, not the size of the plot, is usually what decides how long a Hertfordshire garden clearance takes.

Why Hertfordshire customers book us
Cutting and lifting done, not just hauling away
Overgrowth, hedges and self-seeded growth cut back as part of the job — nothing has to be piled up before we arrive.
Priced from the whole garden, not the worst corner
Photos of the whole space, not just the overgrown section, get you a firm price rather than a wide range.
Access assessed properly
A garden reached only through the house or up a shared side alley is quoted differently from one with rear vehicle access, because the carry length is real labour.
Waste routed and documented
Green waste goes to a composting route, hard waste is segregated at a licensed transfer station, and a waste transfer note is issued in your name.

Garden Clearance in Hertfordshire
Garden clearance access varies more across Hertfordshire than most people expect. New-town gardens in Stevenage, Hemel Hempstead and Hatfield were laid out with rear access from a garage court or a shared path in mind, which usually keeps the carry short. Cottage and terraced gardens in the Chilterns villages and the older parts of St Albans and Berkhamsted often have no side access at all, meaning everything — cut hedge, broken decking, a collapsed shed — has to be carried through the house, and that longer carry is real labour that's confirmed at quote stage rather than discovered on the day.
Self-clearing the load afterwards is harder than a skip suggests, because Hertfordshire's household waste recycling centres run under Hertfordshire County Council with booked arrival slots and van-and-trailer permit requirements, and green and hard waste both need to go through the correct stream once they arrive. A licensed clearance avoids the permit application and the booked-slot queue altogether, and hedge and shrub cutting is scheduled around nesting season, since birds nesting between March and August are protected by law and any active nest found mid-job means that section is left alone.

Garden Clearance in Hertfordshire — your questions.
How is a garden clearance priced?
Green waste starts from a fixed price for cutting, bagging and removal. Mixed loads with hard items like fencing or decking are priced by the volume of the van filled, with labour and tip fees included.
Do you cut back overgrowth as well as remove it?
Yes — cutting, dismantling and lifting is part of the job. You don't need to pile anything up first, though if it's already bagged the shorter labour is reflected in the price.
What if my garden only has access through the house?
That's confirmed at quote stage — a garden reached only through the house is a longer carry than one with rear vehicle access, and the price reflects the actual route.
Will you cut a hedge with birds nesting in it?
No — nesting birds are protected by law between March and August. If we find an active nest we stop that section and tell you.
Where does the waste go?
Green waste goes to a composting route, hard waste is segregated at a licensed transfer station, and you get a waste transfer note as your record of where it went.
