Garden clearance
Clear the garden without having to shift it all yourself
From overgrown corners and old shed contents to broken outdoor furniture and general garden waste, we remove the agreed items and help you get the space back into a tidier, more usable state.
When the Garden Has Become Another Clearance Job
Gardens fill up gradually. A broken shed turns into storage. Old planters stay where they are. Green waste builds up because the job keeps slipping down the list. Sometimes the clearance is part of a move, a probate job or getting a property ready for sale or handover.
Overgrown garden clearance: Remove cut-back vegetation, bagged green waste and unwanted outdoor items that are stopping the space being used properly.
Before a house sale: Clear outdoor clutter, old furniture, shed contents and general waste before photographs, viewings or completion.
End of tenancy garden clearance: Remove agreed rubbish, furniture and leftover outdoor contents before the next handover.
Probate and inherited-property garden clearance: Clear sheds, greenhouses, tools, planters and outdoor contents as part of a wider property clearance.
Shed, greenhouse and outbuilding contents: Remove the agreed contents from outdoor storage spaces and small structures.
Partial or full garden clearance: Clear a few awkward items, one section of the garden or the agreed contents throughout the whole outside space.
This is a clearance service, not a gardening or landscaping service
The focus is on removing unwanted items, green waste and outdoor clutter so the space is easier to use again. Lawn care, routine gardening, hedge maintenance, landscaping, paving, fencing and design work are separate services unless explicitly agreed.
What We Can Clear
Garden clearances vary widely, so we confirm the scope in advance. The service can cover agreed waste, unwanted items and outdoor contents from accessible areas.
Tree surgery, stump grinding, major excavation, heavy soil removal, landscaping and structural demolition are not ordinary garden-clearance items and must be agreed separately if available at all.
- Bagged or loose green waste, hedge cuttings and general garden debris, where agreed
- Broken or unwanted outdoor furniture
- Plant pots, planters, ornaments and general outdoor clutter
- Shed, greenhouse and small outbuilding contents
- Tools, toys, bins and storage-box contents
- Selected items, one area of the garden or the agreed contents of the full outside space
- Outdoor contents linked to house moves, probate jobs and end-of-tenancy clearances

What We Need to Know Before Quoting
A useful quote depends on knowing what is in the garden, how easy it is to reach and whether any structures or specialist materials are involved.
Photographs: Show the garden, the waste, any overgrown areas and the route out.
Access: Tell us about side gates, steps, narrow paths, distance to parking and whether anything has to come through the house.
Waste type: Let us know if the clearance includes green waste, timber, broken furniture, rubble, glass or mixed household items.
Structures and dismantling: Point out sheds, greenhouses, raised beds, storage units or anything else that may need dismantling before removal.
Volume and condition: The time and cost are affected by whether the waste is already bagged, loose, wet, tangled, scattered or mixed together.
Specialist issues: Flag asbestos, chemicals, paint, gas bottles, fuel, heavy concrete items or anything you are unsure about.

Overgrown Does Not Have to Mean Unmanageable
A neglected garden can still be sorted out in stages. Some customers want everything removed in one go. Others want the obvious waste, damaged items and shed contents dealt with first so they can decide what to do with the rest.
- Clear the items you already know you do not want
- Leave usable furniture, planters or tools in place if they are staying
- Prepare the space for sale, tenancy checks or other property work
- Reclaim access to paths, patios, outbuildings and seating areas
Tell Us About These Before We Quote
- Asbestos or materials that may contain asbestos, including some old shed or garage roofs
- Paint, chemicals, oils, fuel, pesticides and other hazardous substances
- Large amounts of soil, hardcore, rubble or concrete
- Broken glass, sharp scrap or badly deteriorated structures
- Gas bottles, batteries and pressurised containers
- Very heavy ornaments, machinery or fixed outdoor items
- Trees requiring surgery, stump removal or major root work
- Anything unstable, rotten or unsafe to dismantle without assessment
Possible asbestos in a shed or outbuilding?
Do not disturb it. Some older roofs and panels may contain asbestos and need specialist assessment before ordinary clearance work can begin.
From Site Review to Cleared Garden
Send the scope. Provide photographs or an inventory, the site address, access details, deadline and any special requirements.
We assess the clearance. Larger, mixed or access-sensitive jobs may need a site visit before the quote is confirmed.
Agree the plan and paperwork. We confirm what is included, identify specialist waste or risks, and agree timing and waste-transfer requirements.
We clear the agreed items. The team removes and sorts the agreed contents, then confirms completion against the agreed scope.
Common Questions
Do you clear overgrown gardens?
We can clear agreed garden waste, cut-back vegetation and unwanted outdoor contents, but this is a clearance service rather than an ongoing gardening service. Tell us what condition the garden is in when you enquire and we will explain what can realistically be included.
Can you remove shed and greenhouse contents?
Yes, potentially. We need to know what is inside, whether the structure itself is staying and what access is available.
Can you dismantle a shed or greenhouse?
Potentially, but it must be agreed before quoting. The size, material, condition and access all matter, and some structures may need separate assessment.
Can you remove garden waste and old furniture together?
Often, yes. Garden clearances commonly include a mixture of green waste and unwanted outdoor items. Send photographs so the mix can be assessed properly.
Can you clear a garden before a property sale or tenancy handover?
Yes. The service can be useful before viewings, completion, checkout or general property preparation. Tell us about any deadline when you enquire.
Can you remove soil, rubble or heavy concrete items?
Only sometimes, and not as part of every standard garden clearance. Large quantities or heavy materials need to be declared before the quote is prepared.
What if there may be asbestos in the garden?
Do not disturb it. Older sheds, garages and outbuildings may contain asbestos materials, which need specialist assessment and handling.
Do you provide gardening, hedge cutting or landscaping?
This page is for clearance work. Some basic cutting back may be needed to reach and remove waste, but routine gardening, landscaping and improvement works are separate services.
Can you clear only part of the garden?
Yes. We can remove a few bulky items, clear one section or carry out the agreed clearance across the whole outdoor space.
How much does a garden clearance cost?
The price depends on the amount and type of waste, access, labour, dismantling, weight, disposal routes and any specialist issues. Photographs are usually the quickest way to assess the job.
How quickly can you clear a garden?
That depends on the size of the job, access, structures, specialist materials and current availability. If the work needs to happen before a sale, move or tenancy deadline, tell us when you enquire.
How do I know the waste will be handled legally?
Householders must use an authorised waste carrier. Ranskill House Clearance’s registration details should be shown on the website and paperwork once confirmed.
