What is included in garden clearance
Show one photograph of the garden as a whole and another of the places where the condition changes. The lawn might be accessible while growth in a corner reaches over stored items. If you want the border cleared but the shrubs retained, mark that distinction. We can then assess the work and avoid treating a request to uncover a feature as a request to remove it.
- Agree the parts of the garden to cut back and the plants to retain.
- Deal with accessible long grass, brambles and unwanted vegetation in those parts.
- Gather the green cuttings and identify what is ready for a separate collection.
What is not included
- Stored items and construction waste are not included as green cuttings.
- Sheds, roots and larger tree work are outside routine clearance.
- Replanting and restoring a lawn need separate proposals.
Mark the proposed stopping point before anybody cuts into dense growth. It might be a fence, the edge of a planting bed or a line beyond a shed. Show whether the plants to keep are identifiable from the working side of that boundary.
If part of the garden contains plants you want to preserve, show the nearest recognisable feature in the same frame. A fence post or a corner of a shed is easier to find again than a description of where one patch of growth ends. Keep photographs taken from different sides in order and tell us if the other side can be reached. If you want a defined edge around a retained area, mark that stopping point on a copy of the photograph. Check that the quoted boundary reflects it before work begins.
