High on the Cotswold plateau, Stow-on-the-Wold gardens face exposed weather and stony soil, and a good clearance leaves stone-built homes with an open, usable and easily managed space.
Stow-on-the-Wold sits high up in the Cotswolds, and its stone houses and cottages have gardens that are often exposed, walled and stony. Growth here can be tough and tangled rather than lush, and rubbish tends to accumulate behind outbuildings and in forgotten corners.
We come in to cut back, dig out and clear. Overgrown beds, hedges and brambles are dealt with, rubbish is gathered, and the waste is removed, leaving a clean slate for lawn, planting or a new boundary.
The work breaks down into three parts. First, cutting and removing overgrowth: hedges, brambles, long grass and woody weeds. Second, lifting out the unwanted structures and items, such as old sheds, rotten trellis, broken pots and discarded building materials. Third, sorting and removing the waste. In walled gardens, we are careful around stonework and avoid dragging heavy loads against it. We agree with you at the start what is to stay, since a clear garden is only useful if it still has the features you value.
High Cotswold ground is frequently thin and stony over rock, which shapes what you can do next. After clearing, we can tell you whether the soil looks shallow or compacted, so you can decide whether to add topsoil before turf or planting. For fencing, we clear the boundary line so posts can be set accurately, and we note where bedrock or large stones might slow digging. This helps you and your contractor plan the next stage properly.
Properties around the market square and side streets can have limited parking and narrow rear access. We plan loading around that, carrying material by hand to a van when needed. Stone, brick and soil are kept separate from green waste, which makes disposal easier and avoids mixed loads. Everything we clear is taken away. If a larger job needs several trips, we say so beforehand so you know how the work will run.
We cover Stow-on-the-Wold and also work in Bourton-on-the-Water, Moreton-in-Marsh and Northleach, so the area is well within our reach. The local stone gives the town its look, and we treat walls, steps and paths with respect while we work. If you tell us about the garden, access and the amount of waste, we can visit if needed and send you a free quotation for the clearance.
We also take on garden clearance work in nearby Bourton-on-the-Water, Moreton-in-Marsh, Northleach.

“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. Stone and rubble are heavy, so we allow extra time and disposal capacity. We sort it from green waste, and if you want stone kept for reuse, we can set it aside.
The work is much the same, but exposed plots may have tougher, windswept growth and thinner soil. We adjust tools and approach, and we mention anything that affects what you plan to do next.
Yes. Free advice is part of the quotation visit. We will tell you what we think is needed and what could wait, so you can spend only where it matters.
