Overview

How it works
Step 1
Roughly how many cubic yards, whether it is soft green waste or heavy soil and turf, and whether there is rear access or everything has to go through the house.
Step 2
Green waste is priced by volume and soil or rubble by weight, so the quote separates the two rather than guessing at one blended rate.
Step 3
Branches and hedge cuttings cut down to fit the van; loose material bagged so nothing spills through a hallway or side return on the way out.
Step 4
Green waste, soil and any rubble kept apart in the van, because the green waste site and the inert tip are two different gate fees.
Step 5
Weighed in at a licensed green waste or inert site and the transfer note emailed the same day.
Why choose us
Registered waste carrier working to duty-of-care rules for green and inert waste. Soft green waste is taken to a composting or green waste treatment site, soil and turf to inert recycling, and any invasive plant material identified on site is routed to a licensed consignment facility rather than mixed with standard garden waste.
Two crew and a Luton on most garden clearances; three crew and a tipper where the load is mainly soil, turf or rubble and weight rather than volume decides the run. Wide roads with driveways; the station gyratory is busy with short loading bays.
Same-week across every borough, with weekend availability through spring and summer when demand for a one-off garden clearance is highest. Morden (Northern) is the nearest station, so a SM4 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect cavity brickwork outside, over timber stud partitions inside, measured on the walk in from Morden (Northern) rather than assumed from a map in SM4, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Morden gives us a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, and with 25% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grass cuttings and light green waste, per cubic yard | £55 | By volume | Light and bulky rather than heavy, so it is priced on the space it takes in the van, not its weight. |
| Hedge cuttings and branches, per cubic yard | £65 | By volume | Woody material needs to be cut down to fit before loading, which adds labour over a straight bag-and-carry. |
| Quarter-load mixed garden waste | £120 | 45–60 min | A typical small London garden clearance, priced on volume plus the green waste site's gate fee. |
| Half-load garden waste | £210 | 1–2 hrs | Covers a full rear garden clear where there is no side access and everything has to come out through the house. |
| Full Luton load of garden waste | £360 | 2–3 hrs | Full van, two crew and the site fee, typical after years of growth are tackled in one visit rather than several bin cycles. |
| Soil, turf and rubble, per cubic yard | £85 | By volume | These are weighed rather than measured by volume — a yard of wet turf or soil can weigh several times the same yard of hedge cuttings. |

The cleaners Constantin and arrived in time and never stopped until the work was completed to the best of their ability. I would recommend a more upgraded carpet cleaner as I was hoping for a hot steam cleaner to penetrate areas or heavy foot traffic on the carpet. They never gave up until the look… Read in full →

Working in Morden
In Morden (SM4) the split is 25% flats to 75% houses over 6,284 households, and the stock is inter-war.
The owner-occupier-led mix here (63% owned, 25% privately rented) means a SM4 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Morden substrates run to cavity brickwork outside, over timber stud partitions inside, measured on the walk in from Morden (Northern) rather than assumed from a map. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Morden gives us a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, and with 25% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the mistake that costs a SM4 customer twice.
The southern end of the Northern line, with Morden Hall Park's water meadows. That character decides the practical detail of green waste removal here far more than the borough boundary does. Morden is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, wide roads with driveways; the station gyratory is busy with short loading bays — one reason two crew and a Luton on most garden clearances; three crew and a tipper where the load is mainly soil, turf or rubble and weight rather than volume decides the run. Fitters travelling in use Morden (Northern).

Grass cuttings and light green waste, per cubic yard starts at £55 in Morden on Merton bookings — and 6,284 households on this patch, with 75% of Morden homes being houses, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Volume for soft green waste, weight for soil and rubble, and access on the Morden rounds. A rear garden with no side return means every barrow load comes out through the house for Morden (SM4) addresses — and 63% owner-occupation locally, with 25% of SM4 homes being privately rented, which is the single biggest driver of price in inner London terraces.

That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in for Morden (SM4) addresses. With 25% of Morden homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on the Morden rounds, with this being a short walk from Morden (Northern) — and 6,284 households on this patch, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Japanese knotweed and other invasive plant material, with 25% of SM4 homes being privately rented, which needs a licensed consignment route rather than standard green waste disposal; Tree felling and stump grinding above hedge height, which needs a qualified arborist rather than a clearance crew; Chemical-treated timber, decking oil tins and weedkiller containers for Morden (SM4) addresses, which are hazardous waste and need a specialist carrier; Pond water, fish and livestock waste — and a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood, which fall outside standard green waste licensing. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Morden SM4 price you agree is the price you pay on the streets near Morden Hall Park, with this being London Borough of Merton territory.
All three. With 25% of Morden privately rented and 63% owner-occupied, roughly half the SM4 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door for Morden (SM4) addresses — and 6,284 households on this patch, with 12% social-rented stock nearby.
