Overgrown garden bed cleared
Grasses and shrubs cut back, the bed weeded and cleared, and all the green waste taken away.
Garden clean ups
Weeds pulled, overgrown plants cut back and beds cleared, so your garden is tidy and easier to look after.
What a garden clean up includes
- Weeding garden beds, borders and paths
- Cutting back overgrown shrubs, grasses and perennials
- Clearing out dead plants and old growth
- Tidying edges and raking up leaves
- Taking away all the green waste
When people book a clean up
Common times to book a clean up are:
- Before selling or renting out a property
- When moving into a new place with a neglected garden
- At the end of a tenancy
- Before summer or a family get together
- For commercial sites and shared grounds
Keeping it tidy afterwards
Once beds are weeded and cleared, a layer of mulch helps hold back new weeds and keeps moisture in the soil through summer. If you'd like mulch spread as part of the job, mention it when you ask for a quote.

Common questions
What does a garden clean up include?
Weeding, cutting back overgrown plants, clearing out dead growth, tidying edges and taking all the green waste away.
Can you tidy a garden before we sell?
Yes. A tidy garden makes a big difference to first impressions and photos. Get in touch early so the work is done before photos or open homes.
How long does a garden clean up take?
It depends on the size and how overgrown it is. A small garden often fits into a half day while a whole section may need a full day. Send photos for a better idea.
