Our Core Service

One visit. One fixed price. Garden reset.

A garden clearance is a one-off service that cuts back overgrown vegetation — long grass, brambles, weeds, hedges and shrubs — and removes all the resulting green waste for legal disposal. GTW Garden Clearances provides it across Cheshire West & Chester, Flintshire, Denbighshire and the Wirral, with everything cleared and removed in a single visit by a registered waste carrier, and free fixed quotes from photos, usually within one working day.

The service comes in three shapes. A full garden clearance strips the whole garden back to a blank canvas — the usual choice for house sales, probate properties and gardens that have been left for years. A partial clearance tackles a defined section: the bottom of the garden that got away, one overrun border, the side return nobody looks at. And an overgrown garden rescue is the heavy-duty version — waist-high brambles, self-seeded saplings, years of neglect — the jobs most maintenance gardeners turn down.

Whichever shape yours is, the process is the same: send photos through the form exactly as the garden looks (no tidying first — we've seen far worse), get a fixed price usually within one working day, pick a date, and we do the rest. Cutting, clearing, loading and legal disposal all happen in the one visit, and you get dated before-and-after photos when it's done. You can tell us what stays — established plants, borders, anything you love — and we work around it.

For rental changeovers there's a dedicated end of tenancy garden clearance service, and if the cutting's already done and only the pile remains, green waste removal covers loading and disposal only.

What's Included

What our garden clearance covers

Every job is quoted as a single fixed price. Here's what that price includes as standard — and what to mention up front so the quote is right first time.

Included in every clearance

  • Long grass, weeds and nettles cut right down — however far gone
  • Brambles and years of overgrowth cleared back
  • Hedges and shrubs cut back or removed, as agreed in the quote
  • All green waste loaded into the van and removed the same day
  • Legal disposal at a licensed waste site, as a registered waste carrier
  • Paths swept, gates closed, and dated before-and-after photos sent

Mention these when you ask for a quote

  • Large or tall trees — some jobs need a qualified tree surgeon instead
  • Soil, rubble, fencing, sheds or other non-green waste to be taken
  • Suspected Japanese knotweed or other invasive plants, which legally require specialist handling and disposal
  • Anything you want protected — established plants, borders, features
  • Tight or shared access for loading (rear alleys, no parking, steep drives)

None of these are automatically a "no" — they just affect the price or the approach, so flagging them in your first message means the fixed quote you get is the one that sticks.

Professional Knowledge

Planning a clearance: timing, wildlife and problem plants

The things a clearance specialist thinks about before the first cut — worth knowing whoever does the work.

Bird nesting season. Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, it is an offence to intentionally damage or destroy an active bird's nest. Nesting runs roughly March to August, so during those months we check hedges and dense shrubs before cutting and work around any active nests we find — occasionally that means holding one hedge back for a later visit. If you're planning a major hedge removal, autumn and winter are the right seasons for it. Clearances themselves happen year-round.

Japanese knotweed and invasive plants. Knotweed is classed as controlled waste: it can't go in a council garden bin or an ordinary green waste load, and cutting it carelessly spreads it — a fragment of stem or root can start a new stand. If you suspect knotweed (bamboo-like stems, shield-shaped leaves, growing in dense clumps), tell us before the job. We won't just chop it into the load; it needs a specialist route, and we'll tell you honestly what that means for your garden.

What happens after the clearance. Gardens regrow — a clearance is a reset, not a cure, and regrowth starts the following season. The cleared garden is the cheapest moment to decide what comes next: occasional maintenance to keep on top of it, or lower-maintenance landscaping while you have a blank canvas. We'll tell you what to expect for your particular garden when we quote, not after.

And whoever you hire: under the Environmental Protection Act 1990, householders have a duty of care for waste leaving their property, and you can be fined if it's later fly-tipped. Always ask for the trader's waste carrier registration number and check it on the public register — we'll happily show you ours before we load a single bag.

Common Questions

Garden clearance — FAQs

What is a garden clearance?

A garden clearance is a one-off service that cuts back overgrown vegetation — long grass, brambles, weeds, hedges and shrubs — and removes all the resulting green waste for legal disposal. It differs from regular gardening: a clearance resets a neglected garden in a single visit, rather than maintaining a garden that is already tidy.

How much does a garden clearance cost?

Three things drive the price: the volume of waste that will come off the garden, how dense and established the growth is, and how easy access is for loading. That's why every job is quoted individually — send photos through the quote form and you'll receive a free fixed price, usually within one working day. The price we agree is the price you pay.

How long does a garden clearance take?

Most single residential gardens are cleared in one day, including loading and removing all the waste. Very large or severely overgrown gardens can run to a second day — if yours will, we'll say so in the quote, and the fixed price still stands.

Do you take all the waste away?

Yes. Everything we cut and clear is loaded into the van on the day and, as a registered waste carrier, taken to a licensed waste site. No bags left out, no pile in the corner, no skip on the drive.

Can you clear a garden during bird nesting season?

Yes, with care. It is an offence under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 to intentionally damage or destroy an active bird's nest, so between roughly March and August we check hedges and dense shrubs before cutting and work around any active nests — occasionally that means scheduling part of a job for later in the year. Major hedge removals are best planned for autumn or winter.

Will the garden just grow back?

Honestly — yes, gardens regrow; a clearance is a reset, not a cure. Regrowth starts the following season, so the blank canvas is the moment to decide what happens next: light occasional maintenance to keep on top of it, or lower-maintenance landscaping. We'll tell you straight what to expect for your particular garden when we quote.
