London garden clearance · Central London
We work in Hackney every week — warehouse conversions, georgian terraces and marshland parks — shoreditch at one end, stamford hill at the other. Garden clearance is priced against that reality, not a national average.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small courtyard or balcony tidy | £120 | 1–2 hrs | A quarter-load of green waste, hand-carried through the house because most London terraces have 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 that have been by the back door since spring. |
| Shed or greenhouse dismantle and remove | £180 | 2 hrs | Dismantled panel by panel; glass is wrapped and separated because it cannot go in with green waste. |
| Decking, fencing or hard landscaping removal | £320 | 4 hrs+ | Treated timber and concrete are charged at a different rate than green waste, so it is priced separately. |

Treated timber and concrete are charged at a different rate than green waste, so it is priced separately.
Domestic prices are the total you pay; landlord and agent invoices are plus VAT. Green waste is separated and composted where the load allows, and mixed loads are priced on the heavier stream rather than averaged.
Working in Hackney
What our crews walk into in Hackney is warehouse lofts, london fields victorian terraces, big la estates and olympic-era new-build, and the mix changes street by street — Clapton (E5), Dalston (E8) and De Beauvoir Town (N1) each behave differently on the day.
Parking is the job before the job here: extensive low-traffic neighbourhoods with modal filters, seven-day cpzs and narrow one-way terraces. Locally that means narrow terraced streets, permit bays and marsh-side roads that flood after heavy rain and kingsland road red route, market-day congestion and narrow permit-only side streets. Hackney sits outside the Congestion Charge zone, so only ULEZ applies to the van and the quote is that much simpler.
Fly-tipping enforcement in Hackney lands on the householder, not the carrier, when waste is passed to someone unlicensed. London Borough of Hackney can and does trace bags back. Every load we take leaves with a waste transfer note in your name and our carrier registration number on it.
Why it looks like this: a market-garden parish absorbed by victorian terraces, bombed heavily, rebuilt with estates, then reshaped by the creative industries.
Scope
Method
Step 1
A couple of photographs is usually enough to price a London garden accurately.
Step 2
Hallway sheeted where the only way out is through the house — the norm in a terrace.
Step 3
Cut back to the agreed line, bagged as we go so nothing is left piled on the patio.
Step 4
Green waste for composting, timber and hard landscaping separated for the right facility.
Step 5
Paths and hallway swept, transfer note handed over, before-and-after photos on request.
Coverage
Also in this borough
Whole-flat clears, probate and end-of-tenancy strip-outs, sorted room by room.
Desks, chairs, racking and IT stripped out of a let unit with WEEE evidence.
Single items, builders' waste and part-loads across the borough.
Front paths, side returns and communal walkways cleaned without lifting loose flags.
Natural stone patios and timber or composite decking cleaned at the right pressure for each.
Sheds, bases and outdoor storage built square, levelled and weather-fixed.
Small courtyard or balcony tidy starts at £120 in Hackney, and the ladder runs up to £320 for the largest job on the table above. Volume and the carry distance set the price. A garden with rear access is materially cheaper than an identical garden reached only through the living room. The borough is outside the Congestion Charge zone, so there is no charge to pass on — only ULEZ, which our vans are compliant with.
We cover the whole borough: E1, E2, E3, E5, E8, E9, EC2, N1, N16 and N4. On the ground that includes Clapton, Dalston, De Beauvoir Town, Hackney Central, Hackney Wick and Haggerston.
Usually bookable within 48 hours outside of March to June, when garden work books out a week ahead. Central London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.
Extensive low-traffic neighbourhoods with modal filters, seven-day CPZs and narrow one-way terraces. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with London Borough of Hackney and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.
Yes. Warehouse lofts, London Fields Victorian terraces, big LA estates and Olympic-era new-build is exactly the stock we work in daily. Where there is no lift, the crew size is set by the floor level at quote stage, so a third-floor walk-up is priced as a third-floor walk-up rather than re-quoted on the doorstep.
Registered waste carrier; green waste goes to a composting facility and every load leaves with a transfer note in your name. Certificates go out with the booking confirmation, which is what London Borough of Hackney tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.
Two crew and a Luton or tipper; three where everything has to be carried through a hallway. Vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, which matters in every Hackney postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.
Tree surgery, felling and anything requiring a chainsaw ticket or a TPO check, Japanese knotweed, which is controlled waste and needs a specialist contractor and Ongoing garden maintenance or planting. If something on that list turns up in Hackney, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.
