If your garden has become unmanageable, our team can restore it quickly and safely. We regularly work around Balham station and Bedford Hill, where access can be tight and time matters. From brambles and self-seeded saplings to old furniture and broken paving, we clear it all. You’ll get a clean, usable space without the hassle of multiple trips to the tip.
Balham’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions often have long rear gardens that get overgrown fast. In Nightingale and Clapham South, we see mature shrubs, dense borders and sheds that have become storage overflow. Our local experience means we plan for narrow side returns, shared alleyways and delicate neighbouring boundaries. The result is a tidy clearance that respects your property and the street.
We start with a site visit, agree what stays and what goes, then schedule a 1–2 day clearance. Our crew handles tree & shrub removal, shed clearance, soil removal and full green waste removal, keeping paths and access routes safe throughout. Waste is taken away responsibly and your garden is left swept and ready for landscaping or replanting. Homeowners choose us for clear communication, careful workmanship and dependable finish standards.
We know the garden access challenges common across SW12, especially near Balham High Road and the older terraces. Parking and loading are planned to minimise disruption, and we keep pathways clear for neighbours and deliveries. Working in the London Borough of Wandsworth, we follow local waste disposal requirements and use reputable transfer stations. We also adapt methods to protect period brickwork, boundary fences and established trees.

Garden clearance prices in Balham typically range from £200–£800, with most jobs landing around £300–£600. Costs depend on the volume of green waste, whether you need shed clearance, and if there’s soil removal or heavy items to shift. Access also matters in SW12, as narrow side passages can increase labour time. We provide a clear, itemised estimate after a quick site visit.
Most clearances take 1–2 days, depending on how overgrown the garden is and how much material needs removing. A light tidy with green waste removal can be completed in a day, while dense brambles, tree & shrub removal, or shed dismantling may push it into a second day. Access, parking distance and soil removal are the biggest time factors. We’ll confirm the schedule before work starts.
Garden clearance is usually permitted and doesn’t require planning permission, especially when it’s basic maintenance and waste removal. However, there can be rules around protected trees (Tree Preservation Orders) and work in conservation areas, which parts of Wandsworth may include. If you’re unsure, we can help you check before removing trees or major shrubs. We also ensure waste is disposed of correctly through approved channels.
Yes. While clearance itself is a removal service, we back our workmanship and any associated site preparation with a 10-year warranty where applicable (for example, if clearance is followed by groundworks or landscaping we install). Our team works carefully to avoid unnecessary damage to paths, fences and structures. If an issue arises related to our workmanship, we’ll return to put it right. Warranty details are confirmed in writing with your quote.
After clearance, we can leave the garden ready for your next step, whether that’s new turf, planting beds, paving or a low-maintenance gravel layout. Popular follow-ons in Balham include levelling and topsoil, fresh lawn installation, sleeper-edged borders, and patio bases for entertaining areas. We’ll advise on what suits your light, drainage and how you use the space. If you want a full redesign, we can plan and deliver it end-to-end.
