If your garden has become unmanageable, we’ll clear it safely and efficiently. Our team works across SE26, including Lower Sydenham and Bell Green, removing dense growth, brambles and unwanted debris. We’re used to tricky boundaries and mature planting near Sydenham Wells Park. You’ll get a clean, workable space ready for landscaping or simple enjoyment.
Sydenham’s Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and period conversions often come with long gardens that can quickly get overgrown. We regularly clear rear plots with side access, shared alleys and tight passages common around Forest Hill and Penge. Whether it’s a neglected rental garden or a family home that needs reclaiming, we tailor the clearance to protect features you want to keep. Expect careful handling around paving, drains and neighbouring fences.
We start with a site walk-through, agree what stays and what goes, then plan the safest route for removal. Clearances can include green waste removal, shed clearance, tree & shrub removal, soil removal and full site preparation. We keep the job tidy, load and dispose of waste responsibly, and finish with a thorough rake-down. Homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, reliable timings and a premium finish.
We know the access and parking realities across the London Borough of Lewisham, including permit-controlled streets and narrow drives. Gardens near Sydenham Hill Wood can have heavy leaf fall, roots and uneven ground, so we plan for safe cutting and efficient loading. Period homes often have long plots with limited side access, so we bring the right tools and staging to avoid damage. Our base is around 20 minutes away, keeping response times quick.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Garden clearance in the Sydenham area typically ranges from £200–£800, with most projects landing around £300–£600. Costs depend on how overgrown the garden is, the volume of green waste, and whether you need shed clearance, soil removal, or tree and shrub removal. Access matters too—tight side passages or no off-street parking can increase labour time and disposal runs.
Most clearances take 1–2 days, depending on the size of the garden and the density of growth. A lightly overgrown space with straightforward access can often be completed in a day, while bramble-choked plots, multiple sheds, or significant soil and rubble removal may take longer. Weather, access routes, and how much material needs loading and disposal also affect the schedule.
Garden clearance in London Borough of Lewisham is usually permitted and doesn’t require planning permission, especially for removing overgrowth and general waste. However, restrictions can apply if trees are protected by a Tree Preservation Order or if the property sits within a conservation area. We’ll flag any potential issues, advise on the checks to make, and work to compliant methods before removing trees or major shrubs.
Yes. Our garden clearance is backed by a 10-year warranty on workmanship related to any site preparation we carry out as part of the job (for example, levelling and making good areas ready for landscaping). Clearance itself is a one-off service, but we stand by the quality of our work and the condition we leave the site in. If there’s an issue linked to our workmanship, we’ll put it right.
After clearance, we can prepare the garden for several next steps, depending on how you want to use the space. Popular options include topsoil and turf for a new lawn, planting beds and shrub borders, gravel or paving bases, and full redesign planning. We’ll talk through drainage, sunlight and access, then recommend practical choices that suit your property style and budget before any installation begins.
