Garden clearance in Stroud, where steep valley sides and terraced plots make cutting back overgrowth and carrying out green waste and rubbish a matter of careful planning.
Stroud sits where several steep valleys meet on the edge of the Cotswolds, and houses climb the hillsides in rows. Gardens here are often long, sloping or stepped, with retaining walls and flights of steps linking the levels. When a garden is neglected, it can be difficult even to walk through, let alone work in.
That is the sort of job we are used to. We cover Stroud and the valley villages around it, and we plan each clearance around the slope: where we can safely stand, what must be hand-carried, and where waste can be gathered. A free quote follows a visit or photographs showing the garden from top to bottom.
On a slope, growth hides hazards. Brambles can cover steps and drops, loose stones sit under leaf mould, and old retaining walls may be leaning. We start by cutting a safe path through, then work along each terrace, clearing weeds, shrubs and rubbish as we go. We avoid undermining banks and keep roots that are holding soil in place when they are doing a useful job. If something looks unsafe, we will tell you before carrying on.
Hillside gardens need more thought than flat ones. Turf on a steep bank is hard to lay and harder to mow, and fences have to step down the slope. Clearing first reveals the real contours, the drainage and the condition of the walls, so that a landscaper can price sensibly. You may find that part of the slope suits planting and another part suits a level seating area. We are happy to discuss what the cleared ground will allow before you commit to a plan.
Plenty of Stroud homes sit above or below the road, with the garden reached by steps or a steep path. Waste travels by hand and barrow, then is gathered at the nearest vehicle point, which can mean a long carry. We separate green waste, soil, timber and rubbish and take it all away. When asking for a quote, describe the steps, the distance to the road and any parking limits, as they strongly influence the time the job will need.
We work in Stroud and the valleys that spread out from it, with Gloucester to the west and Cirencester across the hills to the east. Terraced mill-town streets, hillside villas and hamlets with long gardens are all part of the area. Send us your postcode, a few photographs and a note about the access, and we will say plainly whether the job is straightforward or needs extra time.
We also take on garden clearance work in nearby Gloucester, Cirencester.

“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. We carry waste by hand and barrow along steps and paths, using safe routes and taking extra care on wet or loose ground. Steps do add time, so describe them when you request a quote.
It can if roots that hold the soil are removed carelessly. We cut back growth and take out only what is necessary, and we will tell you if a bank looks like it needs specialist advice.
Often, yes, but steep wet ground can be slippery and damaging. If conditions are poor we may suggest a different day, both for safety and to protect lawns, paths and drives.
