Identify the vegetation and the other contents
Let us know about items mixed into the growth. Old timber, pots, broken garden objects and rubble need identifying rather than being treated as one pile of cuttings. Where you can do so safely, take photographs that show what is present.
Mark anything you want kept. A small garden can contain useful plants that are difficult to see until the surrounding vegetation is reduced. Tell us about young shrubs, bulbs, climbers and features you would like worked around.
If compost heaps or bonfire remains are included, send clear photos first. Those enquiries are assessed for non-hazardous clearance. Keep the area visible in the photographs so the contents can be understood.
