How Our Garden Clearance Service Works
Step 1: Assessment and Planning
We assess the size of the garden, the type and volume of waste, and access conditions such as steps, narrow pathways or shared entrances. This allows us to plan the clearance efficiently and provide a clear quote.
Step 2: On-Site Clearance
Our trained team arrives with appropriate vehicles and equipment. Waste is removed carefully to avoid damage to fences, paving, lawns or neighbouring properties.
Step 3: Sorting and Transport
Where possible, garden waste is separated to support composting, recycling or recovery. Mixed materials are handled responsibly and loaded securely.
Step 4: Compliant Disposal
All waste is taken to authorised transfer stations or recycling facilities. Where required, documentation is provided to support Duty of Care compliance.
Transparent Pricing With No Hidden Fees
Our garden clearance pricing is straightforward and transparent. Costs are based primarily on the volume of waste removed, labour required and access conditions.
We use a load-based pricing model, meaning you pay only for the space your waste occupies in our vehicle. Quotes typically include labour, loading, transport and lawful disposal. Any changes to the scope of work are discussed before proceeding.
Why Professional Garden Clearance Is Better Than DIY
Clearing a garden yourself can be time-consuming and physically demanding, especially when dealing with heavy soil, dense vegetation or bulky items. Multiple trips to recycling centres and the risk of incorrect disposal are common issues.
Council collections often have strict limits on garden waste volume and frequency, while skip hire may not be practical in restricted streets or shared spaces. Our garden clearance service offers a complete solution, saving time and ensuring everything is handled correctly.
Legal Compliance and Duty of Care
London House Clearance operates as a licensed waste carrier registered with the Environment Agency. This ensures all garden waste is transported and disposed of legally.
We meet Duty of Care obligations by accurately describing waste, using authorised facilities and providing Waste Transfer Notes where required. This protects clients from liability and supports responsible waste management.
Recycling-First and Landfill Reduction
Green waste can often be recycled or composted rather than sent to landfill. We prioritise recycling wherever possible, diverting suitable materials into appropriate recovery streams.
By working with authorised local transfer stations and recycling facilities, we help reduce landfill use and support environmental sustainability across London.
Experience, Training and Insurance
London House Clearance has extensive experience providing garden clearance across a wide range of property types, from small urban gardens to larger shared spaces.
Our teams are trained in safe manual handling, site awareness and responsible waste segregation. All work is carried out by insured professionals, giving clients confidence that work is completed safely and responsibly.
Real-World Garden Clearance Scenarios
We regularly clear gardens following tenancy changes, where outdoor spaces have been neglected and require full removal of vegetation and waste.
We also support landscaping projects by removing soil, turf and green waste from residential gardens and communal areas, ensuring sites are left clean and ready for use.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does garden clearance cost?
Costs depend on the volume and type of waste, along with access conditions. We use load-based pricing so you only pay for the space your waste takes. Quotes are provided upfront with no hidden fees.
Do you offer same-day garden clearance?
Same-day garden clearance is often available, subject to availability. This is ideal for urgent clear-outs, end-of-tenancy deadlines or unexpected waste build-up.
Is your garden clearance service legally compliant?
Yes. We are a licensed waste carrier and operate in line with Duty of Care requirements. All waste is taken to authorised facilities, and documentation is provided where required.
What happens to the garden waste after collection?
Garden waste is taken to authorised facilities where it is sorted for composting, recycling or lawful disposal. We prioritise recycling to reduce landfill use.

Turnaround times vary with garden size, access, and waste type, but most London clearance jobs complete within a single day. We pre-visit or video chat to assess volume and access, then provide a fixed, no-surprises quote before any work begins. In practice, green-waste-heavy plots with straightforward access may be cleared quickly, while larger sites with tight corners or obstructed entry can take longer. We arrive with a full team and the right equipment, which speeds loading, sorting, and removal without unnecessary delays. Eco-friendly disposal and recycling are built into the schedule, with certificates and recycle reports sent after the job. If you have access restrictions, such as shared driveways or parking suspensions, we coordinate with site managers and the council to secure permits. In busy periods, book a slot early; we offer same-week slots for nearby postcodes and flexible afternoon arrivals.
Pricing is transparent and tailored to your garden's size, access, and the waste types involved. We provide a fixed quote after a pre-visit, with no hidden extras and a clear breakdown of collection, disposal, and any recycling credits. Our measures include cutting down on trips through efficient routing and sorting, which often saves you money. For larger projects, we can offer staged clearance, so you still have access to essential areas while work proceeds. Prices include environmentally responsible disposal; we provide Waste Transfer Notes and receipts for your records. If needed, we offer flexible payment methods and scheduling to suit your budget. Complete quotes are issued before any work begins, and we're happy to answer questions about permits or access costs.
Preparing for a garden clearance helps speed the job and protect your property throughout the process, from the initial quote to final disposal. Clear access is essential, so move fragile items away from entry points, trim overhanging branches, and ensure gates or driveways are unlocked for the team. If you have pets, please secure them during clearance to prevent engagement with tools and machinery. Create a simple catalogue of items to be removed and identify any items that may require separate handling (e.g., heavy furniture, electronic waste, or hazardous materials). We will advise on storage options for recyclable items you want to reuse, to minimise waste. If the site is compact, we may stage clearance in phases, which helps maintain access for neighbours and lanes. We'll confirm a start time and arrival window, and provide a point of contact on the day for smooth coordination. Don't forget to remove valuable or sentimental items or tell us if you want to keep certain furniture or plants. We may need to switch bins or skip zones for a more efficient clearance, in which case we'll explain the options. If you'd like, we can arrange quick after photos and a recycling report to demonstrate your green impact. With your permission, we can document the site before, during, and after clearance to support any insurance or regulatory checks. We always finish neatly, leaving your garden ready for planting or further maintenance.
