Garden Clearance in Martley: Overgrown Plots and Waste
A garden left for a season or two can become unrecognisable, and in a village like Martley, where gardens are often large with mature planting, the job can look daunting. Brambles climb into hedges, ivy covers fences and old sheds disappear behind the growth.
We clear overgrown gardens, remove waste and prepare ground for new landscaping around Martley, Bromyard, Hallow, Broadheath and Lower Broadheath. Cutting, digging out, loading and taking away are all part of the service, so you are not left with piles to deal with. That means you can book clearance first and decide on the new design afterwards.
Working through a big, older garden in stages
For bigger, older gardens we can tackle clearance, ground preparation and landscaping in stages, so the work fits around you. We usually begin with the areas you need first, such as the access route or the patch near the house, then move outwards across the plot.
Overgrown plots often hide surprises, from old paving and buried rubbish to stumps and tangled wire. We uncover these gradually, so nothing is damaged by rushing, and you are told what we find before we decide how to deal with it. Mature trees worth keeping are left alone, and we talk through anything that looks unsafe.

Waste, hedges and what comes next
Waste is removed responsibly and not left in the corner of a field. Hedges and larger shrubs are cut back or removed according to what you want to keep. If Japanese knotweed or giant hogweed is suspected, we will say so before work begins, because those plants need specialist handling and should not be cut or strimmed. Access matters on bigger sites, so we check how far skips and vehicles can get, and plan the route for taking material out so lawns and drives you want to keep are not churned up.
Large clearances are easier to plan once someone has seen the plot, and our free site visit is the quickest way to agree the order of work and what the cleared ground will become. Once the ground is clear, it can be levelled and made ready for turf, paving, borders or fencing.

Garden Clearance in Martley: common questions
Can you clear just part of a large Martley garden?
Yes. Many people start with the area nearest the house, then continue as time allows. Staged work spreads the disruption and keeps the plan flexible if your ideas change once you see the space opened up.
What happens to the waste after clearance?
We take it away and dispose of it responsibly. Green waste and general rubbish are separated where possible, so nothing is dumped and the garden is left clear. Anything that can be reused, such as sound timber or stone, can be set aside for the new design.
