Garden Clearance

Our garden clearance service is becoming increasingly popular across the country. There are many occasions when larger outdoor items cannot simply be incinerated or broken down and put into your local councils green waste bins, which will typically be collected on a fortnightly basis, which just won't help you clear out that garden space.

We also find that when you call us for this service it also provides an opportunity for most households to see what other items they can remove from their property at the same time - so often a garden clearance will merge into a house clearance too. This is no problem for us. Ideally the fuller the van is for each trip, the more cost-effective the waste collection will be.

Garden Waste Clearance

So what sort of items do we remove when it comes to garden clearance? Common items are sheds and other old wooden storage structures including their contents. If required we can break these down for you but this will incur additional charges for the time to do this. Other common 'green waste' are branches and hedges which can accumulate to quite a volume once grouped together. We've taken away soil and rubble, broken pots, greenhouses, pond liners, paving and even turf where homeowners have decided to relay new turf or even replace it with artificial grass.

If all your items are grouped together in your front garden we can simply take them away without there being any requirement for you to be in attendance so you can leave the garden waste at your property and return later to a rubbish free garden.

Local Garden Clearance

Garden waste removal often involves a little more man power to remove some heavy or awkwardly shaped items such a children's swings, sleepers or stone rockeries. We understand that not everybody is in a position to move such items to the front of a property ready for collection which is why we offer a full garden waste removal service which can involved removing items from their original positions and loading them up ready for taking away. This service is often a great way to save total costs if you are looking to get your garden ready for some landscaping work as this will save time and money compared to landscapers including this as part of their overall pricing.

Frequently Asked Garden Clearance Questions

  • What will you take as part of a garden clearance take?

    In short, SD Cardiff House Clearance  will be able to take virtually everything from a garden. We have a network of contacts in local charities and the knowledge to responsibly dispose of, recycle or sell any unwanted items from a property. The only exception to this would be if hazardous items have been identified in the property. Then depending on what the hazard is a specialist company may need to deal with the hazardous items. Some house clearance companies will have staff trained to deal with certain potential contaminants or hazardous items and have the processes, procedures and equipment to deal with the issue properly. Examples may be sharps such as drug needles or certain corrosive chemicals which may have been used illegally in a home or legally in a commercial or factory environment.

  • How much do you charge for a garden waste clearance?

    This will depend on a number of factors. Obviously, a major factor is the total amount of items that need to be cleared and what those items are. Will one or two-man teams need to be used, does special equipment need to be used to move items out or even dismantle them first? Will the size and shape of the items require more trips to be taken to remove all the items? Another key factor determining costs will depend on what the owners of the items may want to happen to the items. Segregating waste will take additional time and resources. So, if some items are to be disposed of, whilst others are to be recycled and others are to be sent to a charitable organisation or auction house, these different waste streams with different handling processes will add to the overall cost although some of these costs could be recouped if for example a good sale price can be achieved for items sent to auction. 

    To save time and factoring in additional costs to visit the property many house clearance companies such as ourselves will ask for photos of the items to be cleared, whether this is rubbish already bagged, garden waste or a hoarded house so that an assessment can be made and a price given.

    Unfortunately, the industry has been hit by people and organisations ‘adding’ items for disposal, after the initial site visit and subsequent quotation. As a result most house clearance companies, including ourselves, will ask for photographs of the waste to be cleared, from which a quote will be given.  This photographic evidence acts as a way to avoid any potential disputes on quotations and costs for both parties. 

  • What are the payment terms for a garden clearance?

    Once all garden waste items have been removed from your garden and loaded up onto our vehicles final payment will be due.

  • Why choose a garden clearance service over a skip?

    There are probably two main advantages a house clearance company has over a skip company. Firstly for houses that have limited front space where a skip could be placed this will mean applying for a skip permit, sometimes known as a skip license if the skip is to be located on a public road from your local council. Without a permit you would be breaking the law and running the risk of being fined, most reputable skip companies themselves would also be reluctant to leave one of their skips on a public road without a permit. A number of skip companies will sort this out on your behalf but some councils will want the homeowner to pay the council directly. Cost for these permits ran across the country with some councils charging just over £20 whilst others, often London districts will be nearer £70. Cardiff Council charges:

    £38.87 – Per skip for a 7 day licence

    £77.74 – Per skip for a 28 day licence

    As well as the cost you will have to wait a few days for the council to issue the permit – sometimes longer depending on the efficiency of the council in processing these requests. None of this is required for a rubbish removal service from a house clearance company. As a result, a house clearance company using a van for rubbish removal will cost less overall and mean that your rubbish can be removed very quickly at short notice.

    The other advantage house clearance has over a skip, is that a rubbish removal company can segregate the waste whilst loading it up. Therefore much more of the waste can be recycled which is a much more responsible way of disposing of your rubbish.

  • Where do you take garden waste?

    Waste items from a garden clearance typically end up in one, or several of the following places:


    - Recycling centres especially those managing green waste


    - Charities or Auctino houses if the items are in saleable condition


    Typically when the above has been exhausted we will then use rubbish tips


    SD Cardiff House Clearance local teams have appropriate local contacts in each one of these areas to ensure waste items are managed responsibly.
