Clearing gardens and plots across Greater Manchester

Whether it is a garden that has been left to run wild, a rented property between tenants or a plot that needs emptying before building work, we clear it properly. Brambles, self-seeded saplings, ivy, old turf, broken slabs, rubble and the shed that has seen better days all come out.

We are a local, family-run team based in Failsworth, so we know the clay soils, tight terraced access and steep back gardens you find across Manchester, Oldham and Stockport. We plan the job around getting waste out without dragging it through your house.

Everything we remove is loaded and taken away. Green waste goes for composting where it can, and hardcore and timber are separated rather than mixed into one skip.

What affects the cost of a clearance

Every clearance is priced after we have seen it, because the volume and type of waste make the biggest difference. The visit and written quote are free.

  • The size of the area and how overgrown it is
  • How much waste there is and what kind
  • Access for loading, such as steps or narrow passages
  • Structures to dismantle, like sheds or fencing
  • Hardcore and rubble that needs breaking out

How we carry out the work

How we clear a garden or site

No pressure at any stage, and nothing is booked until you have the price in writing.

Look at the site and the access

We survey the plot with you, agree what stays and what goes, and work out how waste will leave the site, whether that is a side passage, a drop kerb or a back gate.

Cut back and strip out

Overgrowth comes down first so we can see the ground, then structures such as sheds, fencing and old paving are taken apart and broken out.

Separate and remove the waste

Green waste, timber, metal and hardcore are kept apart as we go, loaded and taken away so nothing is left piled up on your drive.

Leave a clean, level base

Roots and debris are raked out and the ground is left level and tidy, ready for turf, paving, a new shed base or whatever comes next.

Garden clearance questions

Do I need to hire a skip?

No. We load and take away the waste ourselves, so you do not need a skip on the road or a permit for one. If a very large clearance needs a different approach we will explain it at the quote stage.

What happens to the green waste?

Garden waste is kept separate from rubble and timber so it can go for composting. Mixed loads are harder to recycle, which is why we sort as we go.

Can you take down an old shed or greenhouse?

Yes. We dismantle sheds, greenhouses and old fencing, take the materials away and break out any old concrete base if you want the ground cleared completely.

Will you check for nesting birds before cutting back?

Yes. Dense hedges, shrubs and ivy are common nesting spots in spring and summer, so we check before cutting. If there is an active nest, that section is left until the birds have gone.

Can you clear a garden before a landscaping job?

That is one of the most common reasons we are asked. Clearing and building with the same team means the ground is prepared with the finished garden in mind.
