What our garden clearance service includes
Every clearance job is different, but here’s what you can typically expect from our service:
- Cutting back overgrown shrubs, hedges and borders — reducing overgrown growth to a manageable size and clearing dead wood, damaged plants and anything that’s beyond saving.
- Lawn clearance and mowing — cutting back an overgrown lawn, removing moss build-up and clearing the surface so it’s presentable and ready for maintenance.
- Weed clearance — removing established weeds from borders, beds, paving and lawn edges before they seed and spread further.
- Rubbish and waste removal — clearing accumulated garden waste, old pots, broken furniture, rubble and general outdoor clutter that’s built up over time.
- Green waste removal — all organic material cut or cleared during the job is collected and removed from your property. No skips to arrange.
- Hard surface clearing — removing leaf build-up, moss and debris from patios, paths and paved areas as part of a full clearance.
- Seasonal clearance tasks — for spring and autumn jobs: cutting back dead growth, leaf clearance across the whole garden, and preparing beds and borders for the season ahead.
Who our garden clearance service is for
Homeowners
Gardens can get out of control faster than you’d expect — a few missed months during a busy period, a change in circumstances, or simply a garden that’s been neglected by a previous owner. We work with homeowners across Surrey who need their garden cleared and reset without the hassle of doing it themselves. Many of our regular maintenance customers started with a clearance visit — once the garden is under control, keeping it that way is straightforward.
Landlords & letting agents
Between tenancies is the most common time for a garden clearance — returning the outdoor space to a lettable condition before a new tenant moves in. We work with landlords and letting agents across Redhill, Coulsdon, Crawley and the wider Surrey area to carry out thorough end-of-tenancy clearances, with clear documentation of work completed if needed for deposit purposes. We can work to tight turnaround times between tenancies.
Pre-sale clearance
First impressions matter when a property is on the market. An overgrown or cluttered garden can put buyers off before they’ve even stepped inside. We carry out focused pre-sale clearances for homeowners and estate agents across Surrey — targeting the areas that make the biggest difference to presentation and kerb appeal, working to photography deadlines where needed.
Why choose Southern Garden Maintenance for garden clearance in Surrey
- All waste removed as standard — every clearance quote includes full removal of all green waste, rubbish and debris from your property. We don’t leave anything behind.
- Agreed price before we start — we quote clearly based on what we see and stick to that price. No surprises on the day.
- We work to your timescale — whether you need a clearance done ahead of a tenancy changeover, a property viewing or a specific date, we’ll work to your deadline where possible.
- Same-day completion — most clearance jobs are completed in a single visit. For very large or severely overgrown gardens we’ll let you know upfront if a second visit is needed.
- Fully insured — public liability insurance as standard on every job.
- Follow-on maintenance available — if you want the garden maintained after the clearance, we can set up a regular plan from the same visit. No need to find a separate gardener.
FAQs
Here are some common questions we receive.
Do you take all the waste away?
Yes! Full removal of all waste is included in every clearance quote as standard. This covers green waste (cuttings, branches, weeds, leaves), rubbish (old pots, garden furniture, general clutter) and debris. We don’t leave bags at the kerbside or ask you to arrange a skip. Everything is removed at the end of the job.
How long does a garden clearance take?
Most garden clearances are completed in a single day. A straightforward clearance of an average-sized residential garden typically takes three to six hours. For severely overgrown gardens or larger properties, it may take a full day or require a second visit — we’ll be clear about this when we quote so there are no surprises.
Do I need to be at home during the clearance?
Not necessarily. As long as we have access to the garden and a clear brief of what needs clearing, we can carry out the work without you being present. We’ll confirm the scope in detail before the visit and contact you if anything unexpected comes up on the day.
Can you clear a very severely overgrown garden?
Yes – overgrown gardens are what many of our clearance customers come to us with. Even gardens that haven’t been touched in several years can be cleared and reset in one or two visits. We’ll assess the garden when we quote and give you a realistic picture of what’s achievable and what the garden will look like afterwards.
Can you combine a clearance with ongoing maintenance?
Yes, and it’s a common combination. We carry out the clearance to reset the garden, then set up a regular maintenance plan to keep it under control going forward. It works well because we already know the garden from the clearance visit and can maintain it effectively from day one.
