What is included in garden clearance
Start with the obstruction that matters most. It might be growth across a path or brambles reaching into a bed you still want to keep. Show where a clear route can begin without stepping into the growth. Rather than asking for everything to be removed, name the areas to cut back and mark any plants that need to be retained.
- Cut the agreed long grass, brambles and unwanted growth where access is suitable.
- Open accessible paths and borders in the agreed order.
- Gather the green material and discuss collection separately.
What is not included
- Clearance does not include removing stumps, buried rubble or a structure.
- Larger tree work is outside this scope.
- Disposal is a separately agreed item and is not inferred from the hourly rate.
A first clearance can be scoped around the parts you need most. If one job is to reach a shed and another is to uncover a planting bed, describe them separately. Use something visible in the photographs to indicate where the cut should stop.
Decide whether opening one route will make the rest of the garden easier to assess. If you want to reach a shed, show the door and the ground immediately in front of it. If the obstruction is a bed beside the path, point out anything planted there deliberately. Avoid lifting or pulling vegetation to make the pictures clearer when you cannot see what is underneath. A view taken from a safe edge is enough to begin the estimate. Ask for the disposal arrangements to be stated if you need the route clear of both standing growth and the cuttings.
