Near the meeting of the Severn and Avon, Tewkesbury gardens can be low-lying and damp, so clearance often involves flood debris, soft ground and fast-growing weeds as well as ordinary rubbish.
Tewkesbury is built around its abbey at the confluence of the Severn and Avon, with old streets, narrow burgage-style plots and low-lying areas close to the water. Gardens here can be tricky: wet in winter, overgrown in summer, and sometimes marked by past floodwater.
We clear them with that in mind. Growth is cut back, dead plants and debris are removed, rubbish is cleared, and the ground is left in a state where you can judge what to do next, from drainage to turf to fencing.
After high water, gardens can hold silt, driftwood, plastic and ruined furniture, while the vegetation either dies back or races away in the mud. We remove the debris, cut back damaged and overgrown planting, and dig out weeds that took advantage of the wet. We prefer to work when the ground is firm enough, to avoid deep ruts. If part of the garden still floods regularly, we will tell you which plants and features are realistic to restore.
In low-lying plots, preparation counts for more. We clear the vegetation and rubbish, then point out where the ground is soft, compacted or prone to standing water. That lets you decide on raised beds, drainage or a different layout before laying turf or paving. For fencing, particularly near ditches or boundaries that get wet, we clear a working strip and note where posts may need extra depth or concrete. Planning with the ground, not against it, saves repeat work.
The older streets and alleys of Tewkesbury can mean narrow access, and some plots are reached by footpaths. We carry waste by hand to the van where required. Wet debris and silt are heavier than they look, so we plan the loads. Everything is taken away and disposed of correctly, with green waste, soil and general rubbish handled separately. Nothing is left near drains, ditches or watercourses.
We cover Tewkesbury and neighbouring places including Upton upon Severn, Bishop's Cleeve, Cheltenham and Gloucester. Properties close to the river are most exposed to wet conditions, while those further from it behave like any other town garden. When you contact us, mention how your plot has fared in wet weather. We will arrange a visit to look at the access and conditions, and then send a free quotation.
We also take on garden clearance work in nearby Upton upon Severn, Bishop's Cleeve, Cheltenham, Gloucester.

“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”
We can once the ground is safe and reasonably firm. It is sometimes better to wait a short while so we do not damage the soil, and we will advise on timing when we speak.
We cannot control that, but we can tell you which parts of the garden look low or soft. That helps when planning planting, raised areas or drainage in the next stage.
Yes, where it is part of the agreed work. Silt is heavy, so tell us roughly how much there is and we will allow for the extra disposal.
