Limitations & Specialist Requests
We believe in setting the right expectations so outcomes are safe and sustainable.
- Tree surgery above ladder height, large tree removals and stump grinding are not included in standard clearance. We can provide a specialist quote or collaborate with partner arborists where needed.
- Japanese knotweed, giant hogweed and other notifiable invasives require specialist treatment plans. Tell us if you suspect these species.
- Structural repairs (fences, walls, sheds), electrics and plumbing are outside scope, though we’ll note issues we find.
- Wildlife considerations: if we identify nesting birds or protected species, we will adapt the work and timelines in line with regulations.
- Waste volumes beyond our standard allowance may require an additional waste collection charge, which we’ll outline in your quote.
- Large amounts of non-green waste (old furniture, rubble, metal) require a separate removal quote.
If your garden is extremely overgrown or has restricted access, we’re happy to schedule a site visit for a bespoke plan and pricing.

Pricing Guide
Overgrown garden clearance pricing depends on:
- Size and density of growth (light cutback vs heavy cutback/jungle clearance)
- Access and logistics (stairs, distance to vehicle, parking restrictions)
- Waste volume and type (green waste vs mixed waste)
- Equipment required (brushcutters, chainsaws, hedge trimmers, shredders)
- Obstacles and hazards (steep banks, water features, unstable structures)
- Frequency (one-off site reset vs phased or recurring works)
- Follow-on tasks (mulching, planting preparation, weed suppression)
We’ll provide a clear estimate once we understand scope, including whether green waste removal is included or itemised. For tailored “overgrown garden clearance pricing,” please see our Pricing page or Get a quote.

FAQs
What’s included in overgrown garden clearance?
- Typically: heavy cutback of brambles, nettles and weeds; rough strim/mow of long grass; selective shrub or small tree reduction; and green waste removal included unless otherwise agreed. We’ll specify exactly what’s in your quote.
Do you offer jungle clearance for very dense gardens?
- Yes. Our teams regularly handle jungle clearance situations, using brushcutters and saws to restore access and visibility, sometimes over multiple days.
Can you remove brambles, nettles and weeds right down to the roots?
- We cut back to ground level and can remove roots where practical. For persistent species, we recommend follow-up weed control or mulching to suppress regrowth.
Will you take all the waste away?
- Green waste removal is usually included, subject to the volume in your quote. If waste exceeds the allowance, we’ll confirm any additional charges before proceeding.
Do I need to be on-site?
- It helps for the initial walkthrough, but not essential if we have clear instructions and access. We can update you with photos before and after.
How long does an overgrown clearance take?
- Anything from half a day to multiple days depending on size, density, access and weather. We’ll advise realistic timelines during quoting.
Can you prepare the garden for new planting?
- Yes. We can level areas, remove obvious roots and debris, add mulch and outline bed spaces so you’re ready for planting or soft landscaping.
Do you work across all of N?
- We operate throughout North London and all N postcodes, with flexible appointment slots and crews sized to the job.
