Garden clearance in Shipston-on-Stour, a small Warwickshire market town beside the River Stour, clearing neglected lawns, borders and sheds and taking the waste away.
Shipston-on-Stour is a modest market town on the Stour, near the edge of the Cotswolds, with a mix of older stone and brick houses and newer streets on the outskirts. Gardens here are rarely huge, but they are often well established, which means that when care stops, the growth is thick and the rubbish well hidden underneath.
A typical enquiry comes from someone who has bought a house with a wild garden, inherited a property, or simply run out of time and energy. We clear the plot so that you can see what you have. We cover Shipston-on-Stour and the villages around it, and a free quote comes after we have understood the job.
Long neglect leaves layers. On top is brambles, nettle and tall grass; beneath is old matting, plant pots, broken tools, and sometimes a shed that has collapsed under its own roof. We work through those layers one at a time, cutting back first, then digging out roots and lifting rubbish. Compost heaps, tangled climbers and dead fruit trees are dealt with as part of the job. If you want something saved, a quick walk round at the start settles it.
People often clear a garden because they want a new lawn or fresh boundaries. For turf, the ground should be free of roots, stones and perennial weeds, otherwise the new grass struggles and the weeds reappear. For fencing, a clear strip along the line, with old posts out, saves the installer time. Because the town sits close to the river, some low-lying plots stay wet, so clearing early in the project lets you see how the soil really behaves before you commit to a design.
Older properties in the centre often have narrow side access, while edge-of-town homes have easier routes. Either way, we load carefully, separate green waste from timber and general rubbish, and clear up after ourselves. Please tell us about steps, gate widths and parking when you ask for a quote. If there are large items, such as an old greenhouse, a pond liner or a heap of rubble, mention them early, since they can add time and need different handling from ordinary garden waste.
We work in Shipston-on-Stour and across south Warwickshire, with Stratford-upon-Avon to the north, Moreton-in-Marsh to the south and Chipping Campden to the west. The area includes stone cottages, brick terraces, farmhouses and modern infill, so no two jobs look alike. Send us a postcode, a few photographs and a short note about the garden, and we will tell you plainly whether the work suits us and how we would approach it.
We also take on garden clearance work in nearby Stratford-upon-Avon, Moreton-in-Marsh, Chipping Campden.

“The guys were prompt & proffesional removed an old ash for me thanks guys”
Yes. Long-neglected plots are a regular part of our work. We cut back in stages, remove the waste and tell you what we find, including any problem trees or structures that need separate attention.
A clear, tidy garden usually presents better than an overgrown one, and buyers can see what the plot offers. We cannot promise a sale outcome, but clearance is a sensible first step.
Yes, though conditions matter. Wet ground can slow the work and limit vehicle access. If the plot is often soft, we may suggest waiting for drier weather so the lawn and drive are not damaged.
