Overview
Garden clearance in Raynes Park SW20, explained
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Raynes Park, garden clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £120. With 51% of Raynes Park's 3,570 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SW20 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How garden clearance works in Raynes Park
Five steps, the same on every SW20 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions, as the Raynes Park stock goes, the reality on the streets around Cottenham Park is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Photos or a visit
A couple of photographs is usually enough to price a London garden accurately.
Step 2
Protect the route
Hallway sheeted where the only way out is through the house — the norm in a terrace.
Step 3
Cut and bag
Cut back to the agreed line, bagged as we go so nothing is left piled on the patio.
Step 4
Split the load
Green waste for composting, timber and hard landscaping separated for the right facility.
Step 5
Sweep and sign off
Paths and hallway swept, transfer note handed over, before-and-after photos on request.
Why choose us
Why Raynes Park customers book us
Four things decide whether a SW20 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Booked around your day
Usually bookable within 48 hours outside of March to June, when garden work books out a week ahead. Raynes Park (South Western) is the nearest station, so a SW20 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Raynes Park walls, not generic walls
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls — where 51% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in SW20, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — the pattern behind 3,570 households inside the SW20 neighbourhood.
Insured and documented
Registered waste carrier; green waste goes to a composting facility and every load leaves with a transfer note in your name.
Fixed prices
Garden clearance prices in Raynes Park
Fixed prices for SW20 and the rest of Merton. 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.
| 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. |

Scope
What's included in Raynes Park
The same scope across SW20, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On SW20 jobs: cutting back, bagging and carrying out through the house where there is no rear access, garden clearance included
- In Raynes Park: green waste routed to a composting facility, with the load split at source, sized for the driveways on most roads; the level crossing and station parade congest at peak
- Old furniture, pots, bags of soil and general garden clutter removed, checked on every SW20 visit
- Standard on Merton bookings: waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, with 3,570 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- On SW20 jobs: paths and hallways sheeted and swept before we leave, with 51% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
Not included
- Tree surgery, felling and anything requiring a chainsaw ticket or a TPO check, which we refer on to the right trade in Raynes Park
- Japanese knotweed, which is controlled waste and needs a specialist contractor, handled by London Borough of Merton or a specialist contractor instead
- Ongoing garden maintenance or planting, and we will say so before the SW20 visit rather than on the day
- Digging out foundations, ponds or concrete bases beyond surface removal, outside the fixed price on Raynes Park bookings

Working in Raynes Park
Raynes Park SW20 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Raynes Park — the numbers that actually change a garden clearance quote.
Census 2021 puts Raynes Park at 3,570 households with a median age of 36.5. The mainly Edwardian stock is renter-heavy, which is why 49% houses and 51% flats need different handling in SW20.
Owner-occupation runs at 51% in Raynes Park, so alongside the 35% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Expect lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls — where 51% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year behind the plaster in SW20. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — the pattern behind 3,570 households inside the SW20 neighbourhood is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Raynes Park knows the pattern near Cottenham Park: a quiet family suburb of interwar semis with Cottenham Park nearby. We plan the SW20 visit around it. Raynes Park is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Driveways on most roads; the level crossing and station parade congest at peak. Nearest station is Raynes Park (South Western), and two crew and a Luton or tipper; three where everything has to be carried through a hallway.
