If your garden has become hard to use, we’ll get it back under control quickly and safely. Our team clears brambles, long grass, unwanted shrubs and general garden clutter, then removes the waste for you. We regularly work around Crystal Palace Park and the SE19/SE20 streets where access can be tight. From a quick tidy-up to a full strip-out, we tailor the clearance to your plans.
Crystal Palace homes often come with mature planting and long-established boundaries, especially around Upper Norwood and Gipsy Hill. Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and period conversions can have narrow side returns, stepped paths and split-level gardens. That’s why we plan the job around access, protecting walls, paving and neighbouring fences. We can also clear sheds, remove old planters and lift unwanted shrubs without damaging what you want to keep.
We start with a site check, agree what’s staying, and identify any tricky items such as soil heaps, tree stumps or hidden debris. Clearance is then carried out with proper segregation of green waste, followed by a thorough rake-down and site preparation so you can replant, turf or landscape straight away. You’ll get clear communication, punctual arrival times and a clean handover. Local homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for careful work, respectful neighbours, and reliable waste removal.
Crystal Palace spans multiple councils, so we’re used to garden clearance in London Borough of Bromley/Croydon/Lambeth/Southwark/Lewisham requirements and local waste rules. Many roads near Anerley and Penge have limited parking and narrow access, so we plan loading, protect communal routes, and keep noise sensible. Hilltop plots can be sloped and windy, which affects how we stack, bag and move materials. We adapt equipment and crew size to keep the job efficient and tidy.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most garden clearance jobs in the Crystal Palace area fall between £300–£600, with smaller clear-ups from around £200. Larger clearances can reach £800 where there’s heavy overgrowth, lots of mixed waste, shed contents, or significant soil removal. Price is mainly driven by volume of waste, access (steps, narrow paths), and whether tree/shrub removal is included. We’ll confirm a sensible range after a quick site visit or photos.
Typical garden clearance takes 1–2 days, depending on how overgrown the space is and how much needs removing. A straightforward cut-back and green waste removal can often be completed in a day, while full strip-outs with shed clearance, shrub removal and soil removal usually need longer. Access, parking distance, and the amount of sorting/bagging also affect timings. We’ll agree a realistic schedule before we start.
Garden clearance is usually permitted and doesn’t require planning permission, as it’s maintenance rather than construction. However, council rules can apply to waste disposal, skip placement (if needed), and working hours, especially where Crystal Palace roads are controlled. If trees are involved, we’ll flag potential Tree Preservation Orders or conservation considerations and advise on checks. We always dispose of waste responsibly and can help you stay compliant.
Yes. While clearance is a service rather than an installation, Fine Landscaping backs related workmanship with a 10-year warranty where applicable (for example, if clearance is part of a broader preparation and landscaping package we complete). The warranty covers defects caused by our workmanship, not new growth, storm damage or issues from hidden underground services. We also guarantee a tidy site handover and agreed waste removal.
Once cleared, many Crystal Palace homeowners choose site preparation for turfing, new planting beds, or a low-maintenance gravel layout. If you’re planning a bigger change, we can prepare for patios, raised planters, or regrading to improve drainage on sloped gardens. We’ll talk through how you want to use the space, light levels, and maintenance preferences. Then we recommend practical next steps that suit your budget and timeline.
