What is included in garden clearance
Think through the route in and the route out before deciding how much of the garden to clear. One difficult section can involve opening access, working around a retained hedge and gathering more material than expected. A useful brief shows where the growth begins, where the cuttings can be gathered and whether you want them collected afterwards.
- Cut back agreed unwanted vegetation and long grass where it can be reached.
- Define the shrubs, beds and paths to retain or uncover.
- Gather the green material and assess the arrangements for moving it.
What is not included
- Removal of household or building materials is a separate waste enquiry.
- Stumps, larger tree tasks and structural work are outside clearance.
- A cleared surface is not a new lawn or a prepared planting bed unless separately quoted.
A wide shot can show how the overgrowth relates to the garden you want to use. Add detail around gates, outbuildings and paved edges. If there is an area beyond the growth that should remain untouched, describe its position from a fixed point.
When you describe the end point, say which areas need a route through and which need growth removed across the whole surface. If you have photos of the garden taken before it became overgrown, use them to point out an edge or a feature you want to preserve. Add a current photo of the same view where you can. Tell us about any sections you cannot see from the boundary. If the garden is to be used again after the clearance, state which access points matter most so these can be identified in the written scope.
