If your garden has become overgrown or cluttered, we provide a complete clearance service tailored to Forest Hill homes. We regularly work near Forest Hill station and around SE23, removing brambles, self-seeded saplings, old planters and accumulated rubbish. Whether it’s a quick refresh or a full reset, we leave the site clean and ready for the next stage. We can also prepare the ground for landscaping, turfing or new planting.
Forest Hill’s Victorian and Edwardian houses, plus period conversions, often come with long rear gardens and tricky side access. We’re used to narrow passages, shared alleyways and steps that affect how waste and heavy materials are moved. Many properties around Honor Oak and Sydenham have established shrubs and mature trees that need careful removal. Our team plans the clearance to protect boundaries, paving and neighbouring gardens.
We start with a site visit to agree exactly what’s being cleared and what stays, then schedule a 1–2 day slot to suit you. All green waste removal is handled responsibly, and we can include shed clearance, tree & shrub removal, and soil removal where required. You’ll get clear communication, a tidy working area, and a proper site preparation finish. Homeowners choose us for reliable timings, respectful crews and consistent workmanship.
We know the access challenges common in the London Borough of Lewisham, especially with terraced homes and long plots. Parking and loading can be tight near Devonshire Road Nature Reserve and busier streets, so we plan vehicle placement and waste collection to minimise disruption. Forest Hill gardens often have clay-heavy soil, which can make soil removal and barrowing more labour-intensive after rain. We adapt our method and schedule to keep the job efficient and clean.

Garden clearance in Forest Hill typically costs £300–£600 for most homes, with an overall range of around £200–£800 depending on volume and access. Pricing is influenced by how overgrown the garden is, whether you need shed clearance, tree & shrub removal, or soil removal, and how far waste has to be carried. We’ll confirm what’s included before work starts so there are no surprises.
Most clearances take 1–2 days, but timings vary with the size of the plot and the amount of material to remove. Dense brambles, self-seeded trees, heavy soil removal, or dismantling a shed can add time. Access is another key factor in Forest Hill, especially for period terraces with narrow side passages. After an assessment, we’ll give a realistic schedule and keep you updated throughout.
Garden clearance is usually permitted and doesn’t require planning permission, but there are a few checks worth making. If you’re removing larger trees, there may be Tree Preservation Orders or conservation considerations, and waste must be disposed of correctly. We’ll flag any potential issues during the visit and can advise on best practice for the London Borough of Lewisham. If permissions are needed, we’ll help you understand the next steps.
Yes. Our clearance work is carried out to a clear scope agreed in advance, and any follow-on landscaping we install is covered by our 10-year warranty. This warranty applies to workmanship on installed elements such as paving, edging, retaining structures and other built features, not to natural regrowth or future weed seeds. We also document what’s removed and what’s retained so expectations are clear. If anything isn’t right, we put it right promptly.
Once the space is cleared, many homeowners choose site preparation for a new lawn, fresh planting beds, or a patio and paths for easier maintenance. Popular next steps include turfing, low-maintenance gravel areas, raised planters, or screening with evergreen shrubs. We can also improve drainage and levels if the ground is uneven after clearance. We’ll talk through how you use the garden and recommend options that suit the property and budget.
