Garden Clearance

Our garden clearance service is becoming increasingly popular across Cardiff. There are many occasions when larger outdoor items cannot simply be incinerated or broken down and put into your local council's 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, which makes it a great alternative to skip hire for garden waste.

Before and After: An Overgrown Garden Cleared in Butetown

This back garden in Butetown, Cardiff (CF10) had disappeared under a thick mat of brambles, right up to the boundary walls. We cut everything back to ground level and took all of the green waste away, leaving bare soil, the path to the back gate open again and the patio clear.

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 is branches and hedge cuttings, 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 replace it with artificial grass — in fact almost anything from neglected or overgrown outdoor spaces.

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

Shed Clearance Cardiff

As well as the contents, we can dismantle and remove the whole shed too. See our shed clearance page for more on how we take sheds down and what happens to the materials.

Local Garden Clearance

Garden waste removal often involves a little more manpower to remove some heavy or awkwardly shaped items, such as 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 that can involve removing items from their original positions and loading them up ready for taking away.

This service is often a great way of dealing with severely overgrown gardens, and of saving on total costs if you are getting your garden ready for landscaping work — it saves time and money compared with landscapers including the clearance as part of their overall pricing.

To speed up the process of quotations we use a quick remote process where you can simply send through images of the garden items you want cleared. This way we can see the amount of waste, type of waste and what will be involved in removing it, and then provide you with a quote. This saves time for all involved, with no waiting around for a site visit, and we both have a record of what needs to be removed — so you can quickly decide to get your rubbish removed. Much less hassle than trying to organise a skip!

Frequently Asked Garden Clearance Questions

What will you take as part of a garden clearance?

In short, J&Z House Clearance Cardiff 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 would be if hazardous items have been identified, in which case, depending on the hazard, a specialist company may need to deal with them. Some house clearance companies will have staff trained to deal with certain contaminants or hazardous items, and the processes, procedures and equipment to deal with them properly. Examples may be sharps such as drug needles, or certain corrosive chemicals.

How much does a garden waste clearance cost?

It depends on the volume and type of waste — a few bags of green waste costs less than a full garden strip-out involving a shed, paving or old decking. Send us a photo and we'll give you an accurate price without needing to visit.

What are the payment terms for a garden clearance?

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

Why choose a garden clearance service over a skip?

A skip on a public road needs a council permit (Cardiff Council charges £44 for 7 days or £88 for 28 days), and green waste in particular often exceeds what a council collection or a single skip can handle anyway. We take it all in one visit and segregate as we go, so more of it is recycled rather than landfilled.

Where do you take garden waste?

Waste from a garden clearance typically ends up in one or more of these places: recycling centres, especially those managing green waste; charities or auction houses, if items are in saleable condition; and, once those options are exhausted, rubbish tips. J&Z House Clearance Cardiff's local teams have the contacts in each of these to make sure waste is managed responsibly.
