Response within 24 hours
If your garden has become overgrown or cluttered, we’ll clear it quickly and safely so you can use the space again. Our team handles everything from brambles and self-seeded saplings to bulky items and green waste removal. We regularly work near Sanderstead Recreation Ground and around CR2, keeping disruption to a minimum. The result is a neat, levelled area ready for planting, turf, paving or a full redesign.
Sanderstead’s large detached houses, executive homes and period properties often come with generous plots and mature boundaries. That can mean heavy pruning, tree and shrub removal, and careful work around established planting and fences. We’re used to long side access routes, shared driveways and rear gardens that need staged clearance. Homeowners in Purley, Selsdon and Hamsey Green choose us when they want a premium finish without the mess.
We start with a site visit to agree what stays, what goes, and how access and loading will work. Then we clear systematically: cut-back, lift-out, sort materials, and remove waste using licensed disposal routes. If you need soil removal or site preparation for new landscaping, we can do that in the same visit. You’ll get clear communication, tidy working practices, and a garden that’s ready for the next step.
We know the access challenges common in the London Borough of Croydon, especially on residential roads where parking can be limited. In Sanderstead, mature gardens near Sanderstead Plantation often mean thicker growth and heavier loads, so we plan labour and vehicle space accordingly. We also protect driveways, patios and lawns during loading, and keep paths clear for neighbours. Where council or conservation considerations apply, we’ll flag them early and adjust the method.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most garden clearance projects in Sanderstead fall between £300–£600, with an overall range of £200–£800 depending on volume and access. Costs rise if there’s heavy overgrowth, large amounts of soil to remove, multiple sheds/outbuildings, or significant tree and shrub removal. Narrow side access, steps, or long carry distances can also affect labour time. We’ll confirm the scope after a site visit and provide a clear, itemised estimate.
Typical jobs take 1–2 days, but the timescale depends on how overgrown the garden is and how much material needs removing. A small tidy-up with green waste removal may be completed in a day, while full clear-outs with shed clearance, soil removal, or multiple trees and shrubs can run into a second day. Access, parking, and whether items need dismantling also influence the schedule. We’ll agree a realistic plan before starting.
Most garden clearance work is permitted and doesn’t require planning permission, especially for cutting back overgrowth and removing waste. However, there can be restrictions if trees are protected by a Tree Preservation Order or if your property sits within a conservation area. Rules can also apply to how waste is transported and disposed of. We’ll ask the right questions, check what’s needed, and recommend the safest compliant approach before any removal begins.
Yes. Our clearance work is carried out to a high standard, and where your project includes follow-on landscaping we provide a 10-year warranty on installed workmanship and hard landscaping elements. This covers issues related to our installation, such as sub-base preparation and construction quality, when applicable. For clearance-only jobs, we guarantee a thorough, agreed scope of work, tidy finish, and responsible waste removal. Any concerns are addressed promptly after completion.
After clearance, we can prepare the site for whatever you’re planning next. Popular options include levelling and topsoil improvement for new turf, creating planting beds, installing gravel or paving, and setting out areas for patios or pathways. If you’re considering new fencing, raised beds, or a complete redesign, we can help you choose materials that suit the property and how you use the space. We’ll advise on drainage, access and long-term maintenance too.
