Garden Clearance in Holt Heath: From Overgrown to Open

We clear overgrown gardens, remove waste and prepare the ground for Holt Heath homes and those in Stourport-on-Severn, Ombersley, Hallow and Hartlebury. For gardens that have been left to grow, we can clear back to a clean slate and then rebuild with a patio, a lawn and a boundary that suits the setting.

Starting with a walk round

Before anything is cut, we walk the plot with you. Mature trees, good hedges or older planting may be worth keeping, and it is far easier to decide that on foot than after the first day of work. Then we mark out zones and work through them in order, usually from the house outwards.

On rural plots the access route matters too. A gate or lane may limit the size of vehicle we can use, and that affects how waste is taken away.

• Brambles, nettles and scrub cut back to ground level
• Self-seeded saplings and unwanted shrubs removed
• Old fencing, sheds and rubbish cleared out
• Roots dug out where the ground will be built on

Waste, wildlife and what comes after

Clearing a large plot generates a lot of green waste, plus timber and general rubbish. We take it away and dispose of it responsibly, so there are no bonfire heaps or leftover piles. Dense cover in the countryside may shelter wildlife, so we look before cutting and take care where nests or animals could be present.

If knotweed or giant hogweed is suspected, we will say so before work starts, as neither should be cut or strimmed. With the plot open, the next step could be a lawn, a terrace, new fencing or a planting scheme, all of which we can carry out.
