Garden Cleanups
A full reset for a yard that's been left for a while.
A cleanup is a bigger job than a mow. It's for the yard that's had a few months of leaves pile up, beds full of weeds, grass over the edges and a general build-up of green waste.
Cleanups are quoted individually, because no two neglected yards are the same. We'd rather look at it (or at your photos) and give you a real number than throw out a guess.
What a cleanup usually covers
- Leaf removal from lawn, beds, paths and driveways
- Cutting down overgrown grass and long weeds
- Weeding and tidying garden beds back to their borders
- Trimming back growth that's spilling over paths and fences
- Removing accumulated green waste and prunings
- A final blow-down and tidy so the place is clean when we leave
Green waste
Cleanups generate far more waste than a green bin holds. Depending on the volume, we'll either fill the bins over a couple of visits or price removal into the job. Either way it's agreed before we start, not added afterwards.
Common reasons people book one
- End of a tenancy or before a rental inspection
- Getting a property ready to list or photograph
- Coming back from an extended trip
- Helping out a family member who can't manage the yard anymore
- A spring or autumn reset before going onto a regular mowing schedule
What we don't do
A cleanup isn't landscaping. We don't do turf laying, retaining walls, paving, tree felling or large stump removal. If a job needs one of those, we'll tell you straight rather than take it on.
Frequently asked questions
- How long does a garden cleanup take?
- Anything from a couple of hours to a full day depending on the size of the yard and how much waste there is. We'll give you a realistic idea when we quote.
- Do you take the green waste away?
- It depends on the job. Small amounts go in your green bin; larger volumes are quoted as removal. We confirm which one applies before starting.
- Can you do a cleanup and then keep it maintained?
- That's the most common way people do it — a one-off reset, then a regular mowing visit so it never gets back to that point.
