Garden Clearance in Great Malvern: Overgrown to Ready
Clearing a garden on a slope is harder than clearing one on the flat. Many gardens in Great Malvern are on a gradient, so bramble thickets, old hedging and rubbish often sit on banks where access is tight and footing is poor.
We clear overgrown gardens, remove waste and prepare the ground for landscaping in Great Malvern, Malvern Link, Leigh Sinton, Hanley Swan and Upton-upon-Severn. On a hillside plot, the clearance also shows us what the levels really are, which helps with planning what comes next.
What a hillside clearance involves
Access sets the pace. If a steep path or steps are the only route from the house to the lawn, waste has to be carried out in stages instead of driven off in one load. We take that into account when we look at the job.
Once the growth is cut back, the shape of the ground becomes visible, along with any old steps, walls or drainage that were hidden. This is the moment to decide what stays, what is repaired and what is replaced. On a bank, even a short run of old steps may prove sound enough to rebuild on, which can save a good deal of work.
- Cutting back brambles, ivy, overgrown shrubs and self-seeded saplings
- Removing old sheds, broken paving, fencing and general rubbish
- Taking waste away responsibly as a waste carrier must
- Leaving the ground clear and ready for turf, paving or planting
Preparing for what comes next
Clearing is often the first stage of a larger project, such as terraces, steps or a new lawn. Cutting and removing everything first lets us see where water runs across the plot, so drainage can be planned before anything new is built.
If Japanese knotweed or giant hogweed is suspected, it should not be cut or strimmed, and it needs specialist handling, so tell us before work begins. A free site visit and quote is the easiest way to agree what needs to go and what you would like to keep. Mature plants worth saving can be marked beforehand and protected while the rest is cleared.
