Garden clearance London
Overgrown rear gardens, courtyards, balconies and side returns cleared across Greater London by a registered waste carrier. Green waste is bagged and routed to a composting facility, decking, fencing and slabs are priced as their own stream, and everything is carried out through the house where there is no rear access.
London pricing
| Job | London from | Typical time | Why the London price differs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small courtyard or balcony tidy | £120 | 1–2 hrs | A quarter load of green waste, usually hand-carried through the house because there is no side return. |
| Half-load green waste | £210 | 2–3 hrs | Prunings, turf and pots taken to a composting site rather than a general transfer station. |
| Full Luton load | £390 | 3–5 hrs | An overgrown rear garden cut back and cleared, including the bags stacked by the back door since spring. |
| Greenhouse dismantle and remove | £180 | 2 hrs | Glazing is wrapped and separated by hand because it cannot travel with green waste. |
| Decking, fencing or slabs removed | £320 | 4 hrs+ | Treated timber and concrete are charged at their own gate rates, so they are quoted as a separate line. |
| Garden clearance with shed removal | £420 | Half day | One crew and one transfer note where the shed goes with the overgrowth in a single visit. |

Working in London
Terraced housing across Lewisham, Leyton, Streatham and Acton rarely has a side gate, so bags, prunings and slabs are carried through the house.
That carry is in the price. Hall and stair runners go down first, and the route is swept before the crew leaves.
Prunings, turf, leaves and soil go to a composting facility, which costs less per yard than mixed waste — but only if the load has not been contaminated with plastic pots, bags and old furniture.
We split at source in the garden, which is why a clean green load is cheaper here than a skip filled with everything at once.
Most boroughs run a subscription garden-waste sack or bin service, and for regular seasonal prunings that is genuinely the cheapest option.
It stops working on a garden that has not been touched in two years, on slabs, decking and fence panels, and on anything that has to be gone before a viewing or a tenancy check-out this week.
Japanese knotweed cannot be moved as ordinary green waste and needs a permitted disposal route; spreading it is an offence.
Mature trees in conservation areas are frequently covered by a TPO, and cutting one without consent is a prosecutable offence — so we clear ground and shrubs and leave the tree work to a ticketed surgeon with the consent in hand.

London questions
A small courtyard or balcony tidy starts at £120, a half load of green waste £210 and a full Luton load £390. A greenhouse dismantle is from £180 and decking, fencing or slab removal from £320.
Yes, and it is included. Most London terraces have no side gate, so bags and panels come through the hallway with floor protection down and the route swept afterwards.
For a few sacks of seasonal prunings the borough subscription is cheaper and we will say so. For an overgrown garden, hard landscaping or anything on a deadline, a booked collection is faster and takes what the sacks will not.
No. Felling and reduction need a chainsaw-ticketed surgeon and a TPO or conservation-area check first. We clear ground, shrubs, brambles, prunings and everything a surgeon leaves behind.
Clean green waste goes to a composting facility. That is cheaper per yard than mixed waste, which is why we separate it in the garden rather than tipping everything into one load.
Yes, and we work to the inspection date. We photograph the finished garden and issue the waste transfer note the same day so the agent has the evidence immediately.
