Garden clearance in Northleach, a small Cotswold wool town in stone, taking out overgrowth, green waste and rubbish from town plots and the gardens of older houses.
Northleach is a small Cotswold wool town, built in stone around a market square, with a handful of lanes branching away. Its gardens are mostly modest and tucked behind the street frontage, though a few older houses have surprisingly deep plots. Because the town is small, word gets around, and an untidy garden stands out quickly.
If yours has got away from you, we can help. A clearance is usually a matter of working out what is wanted, cutting and digging it out, and taking the waste away. We cover Northleach and the nearby villages and give a free quote once we have an idea of the plot, its access and the volume of rubbish.
Our first job is to see the scale of the problem. Often it is a long rectangle behind a stone terrace, with a shed at the end and nothing but bramble in between. We work from the house outwards, cutting down the thickest growth, removing the roots we can reach, and sorting what we find. Old tools, plastic pots, rotting timber and discarded building materials go in the rubbish stream, while plants you want kept are protected from start to finish.
Cotswold soil is often thin and stony, which has an effect on what comes next. For turf, a stony base needs sorting, and for planting beds you may want to know how deep the soil really goes. Clearing the growth lets you test and measure. It also shows any hidden problems, such as old rubble or buried slabs. For fencing, we clear the boundary strip and remove old posts, so that new work starts from a clean, accessible line.
Houses in the centre may only offer a gateway or alley, while others have yards connected to a lane. We choose the route that causes least disruption, protect walls and floors where needed, and load into the vehicle in stages. Green waste, soil and timber are kept apart from general rubbish. Heavy loads of stone or rubble need a mention beforehand. If you are not sure what is in the garden, send a few photographs and we will help you estimate.
We cover Northleach and the villages and farms around it, and work throughout the Cotswolds, including Bourton-on-the-Water, Stow-on-the-Wold and Cirencester. Stone cottages, older farmhouses and the occasional larger garden are all part of the picture. Give us your postcode and a few lines about the garden, and we will say whether we can help, how we would go about it, and when a visit might be arranged.
We also take on garden clearance work in nearby Bourton-on-the-Water, Stow-on-the-Wold, Cirencester.

“Jim and Dan did a brilliant job on my 90ft conifer. Its a lot safer now and I have more light in the garden...”
“The boys did an excellent job... pruned my trees back and remove one tree that had split...”
“The guys were prompt & proffesional removed an old ash for me thanks guys”
Yes. Maintenance is regular upkeep, while clearance is a one-off reset of a neglected plot. After clearing, many people move on to a regular tidy or a landscaping plan.
We can remove surface rubble and loose stone, and dig out buried material where practical. Large amounts of hardcore may need a different approach, so tell us what you suspect is there.
Usually not. We take the waste away ourselves, so there is nothing for you to arrange. If the volume is exceptionally large, we will say so beforehand and agree a sensible way of handling it.
